Such is like saying "if there are two leaves on a tree, why are there no leaves between them?"
We did not evolve from chimpanzees. Our nearest common ancestor with them was around 7 million years ago. From that point onwards, there is plenty of fossil evidence indicating tranisitional species between that ancestor and us, and between that ancestor and the modern chimps.
The leaves do not have a direct link between themselves. Instead, they are connected via the branches they rest upon.
What else can I help you with?
Is it rue that humans have not descended from chimpanzees but do have a common ancestor with them?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. According the the theory of evolution, all types of organisms share a common ancestor. Those "basic" species evolved into other species. So humans and chimpanzees are descended from a common primate ancestor Humans decended from a common ancestor, one of which evolved to the chimps and the other to humans. So we are therefore the 5th ape. All living things share a universal common ancestor as we are the products of evolution by natural selection. And there are skeletal remains to prove it.
What evidence is there that humans did NOT descend from chimpanzees?
There has NEVER been a scientific claim that humans are descendants of chimpanzees!However there are multiple clear sources of evidence that humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestral species roughly 3 million years ago. At that time neither humans or chimpanzees existed.
Are chimpanzees and gorillas homo sapiens?
No. Humans, Chimpanzees and gorillas are all primates....but homo sapiens were the first modern human species.
How long have humans been evolving?
Homo sapiens, as a species, have existed for about 300,000 years. Hominids as a whole have existed for about 14,000,000 years.
Who are the ancestors of chimpanzees?
Chimpanzees share a common ancestor with humans, which lived around 6-8 million years ago. This common ancestor is believed to be a species of chimpanzee-like ape that gave rise to both modern humans and modern chimpanzees.
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.
What are the key differences in the DNA between chimpanzees and humans?
The key differences in DNA between chimpanzees and humans are found in the specific sequences of genes and genetic variations that make each species unique. These differences contribute to the distinct physical and behavioral characteristics of chimpanzees and humans.
Are humans and chimpanzees the same species?
No they are a different species. We are both mammals.
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.
Is it rue that humans have not descended from chimpanzees but do have a common ancestor with them?

When comparing cytochrome sequences among species, which of the following species is identical to humans?
Chimpanzees show the highest similarity to humans in cytochrome sequences compared to other species. This is because humans and chimpanzees share a more recent common ancestor than other species.
What evidence is there that humans did NOT descend from chimpanzees?
There has NEVER been a scientific claim that humans are descendants of chimpanzees!However there are multiple clear sources of evidence that humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestral species roughly 3 million years ago. At that time neither humans or chimpanzees existed.
What is the difference between primates and chimpanzees?
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
What does it say when humans and chimpanzees have similar DNA?
Humans and chimpanzees having similar DNA suggests a close evolutionary relationship between the two species. It indicates a common ancestor from which both humans and chimpanzees diverged millions of years ago. The similarity in DNA points to shared genetic heritage and biological similarities.
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 species are humans most closely related to genetically?
Humans are most closely related genetically to chimpanzees.
What is the extent of genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees?
Humans and chimpanzees share about 98.7 of their DNA, making them very genetically similar.
