Homo erectus is the closest known relative to modern humans.
Homo erectus is the closest known relative to modern humans.
Chimpanzees and bonobos are considered to be the closest living relatives of humans. They share about 98-99% of their DNA with humans and are believed to have split from a common ancestor with humans around 6-8 million years ago.
chimpanzees and orangutans we do think that they are correct but we are still looking and experimenting with it though so we are not quite sure
An ancestor is a person from whom one is descended, while a descendant is a person who is descended from a particular ancestor. An ancestor is someone who comes before you in a family tree, while a descendant comes after you in a family tree.

There were no human species known as "Cavemen".
Caveman as a term could refer to either Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon man (who modern indigenous Europeans are descended from).Both modern humans (descended from Cro-Magnon) and Neanderthals share a common ancestor from 200,000 to 500,000 years ago. However, this ancestor has yet to be discovered.
The early ancestor closest to modern man in intellectual ability was the

If your referring the dawn of man, (first upright walking animals with two legs and two arms), as caveman then the closest ancestor would be the time relevant species of monkey because without knowing what the missing link between the two is we wouldn't know that answer. This suggests evolution which suggests we all started as bacteria from alien water sources when H2O enriched meteors pummeled the earth some time after it's birth.

Humans' closest relatives in the animal kingdom are chimpanzees and bonobos, with whom we share a common ancestor.
The last common ancestor between Homo sapiens and their closest relatives among other apes (Chimpanzees) occurred around 6 to 8 million years ago. Because this field is such a new one, and because the information is so limited, as of yet it is difficult to assign a specific species to the common ancestor. Right now the closest we have come is Sahelanthropus tchadensis.
Humans are genetically closest to chimpanzees and bonobos, sharing a common ancestor with them around 6-7 million years ago.
