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.
Yes, that's correct. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived several million years ago. While humans and chimpanzees have diverged along separate evolutionary paths since then, they still share a significant amount of genetic material due to their common ancestry.
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.
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.
Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor, so their DNA is similar due to this evolutionary relationship. The similarities in DNA reflect the genetic inheritance passed down from their shared ancestor, with only small differences accumulated over time. These similarities show how closely related humans and chimpanzees are in the evolutionary tree.
Baboons and gorillas are not direct ancestors of humans. Humans share a common ancestor with primates like baboons and gorillas from millions of years ago, but they are not direct descendants of these species. We share a more recent common ancestor with great apes like chimpanzees and bonobos.
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.
Apes and humans descended from the same common ancestor.
They share a common ancestor.
That they share a common ancestor.
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.
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
Yes. We're not just descendant from them, we are apes (and therefore must logically also be descendant from apes). Of course we're not descended from any modern species of ape: we share a common ancestor with the other modern apes, which would also have been an ape.
NO please read the bible ======================== No. The closest primates to humans are chimpanzees. We all (humans, chimpanzes, gorillas, and other primates) evolved, over millions of years, from some common ancestor, but anthropologists have not yet identified that common ancestor.
human and chimpanzees have a common ancestor
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, but both species evolved from a common ancestor.
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.
Humans and chimpanzees, as well as all other animals, have been evolving over immense passages of time. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor and since the time of that ancestor both primates have evolved for the same length of time. To our eyes the ancestor would have been similar to a chimpanzee but only because it would have been hairier and smaller than us.
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed 5 to 8 million years ago. Shortly thereafter, the species diverged into two separate lineages. One of these lineages ultimately evolved into gorillas and chimps, and the other evolved into early human ancestors called hominids.
