What type of study is most appropriate for determining the time at which a common ancestor to humans and chimpanzees lived?
comparing DNA sequences between humans and chimpanzees Also,The more similar the DNA of two species, the more recently they diverged from a common ancestor
What is the difference between primates and chimpanzees?
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
What are the in percentages the similarities between DNA and chimpanzees?
This question doesn't make sense. Does the writer mean, "…between (some sort of primates/humans?) and chimpanzees"?
The high degree of similarity between chimpanzee and human DNA suggests that?
Humans and chimpanzees share 94% of the same DNA. By comparing certain genes of chimpanzees to those of humans, scientists can tell the approximate number of generations since humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor. It is believed that the ancestors of humans and chimpanzees diverged between four and six million years ago. In other words, it is support for evolution and the fact that humans evolved from great apes.
What evidence is there that humans did NOT descend from chimpanzees?
Humans did not directly descend from modern-day chimpanzees; rather, we share a common ancestry with them. The evidence for this lies in the fossil record, genetic studies, and comparative anatomy, which all point to a divergence between the evolutionary lineages of humans and chimpanzees around 6-8 million years ago.
If evolution is true then why there is no species excisting in between chimpansie and human?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.
If evolution is true then why do no species exist between chimpanzees and humans?
The common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans likely lived millions of years ago, with gradual changes leading to separate lineages. Fossil records may not capture every transitional form due to factors like incomplete preservation or sampling bias. Nonetheless, genetic evidence supports the common ancestry of humans and chimpanzees.
Do chimpanzees sleep?
Chimpanzees sleep because they are just like humans. They are closer to humans than any other animal!!
Are chimpanzee's apes or monkeys?
chimpanzees are monkeys no, chimpanzees are apes and not monkeys
What kind of evidence shows that chimpanzees are the closest living relatives of humans?
Genetic evidence, specifically DNA analysis, has shown that chimpanzees share approximately 98% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest living relatives. Additionally, similarities in behavior, social structures, and anatomy between humans and chimpanzees further support this close evolutionary relationship.
True or false Biologists believe that humans descended from chimpanzees?
False. Biologists do not believe that humans descended directly from chimpanzees. Instead, both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor from millions of years ago.
Can Chimpanzees eat humans?
Yes. Why couldn't they?
