In the long run, the impact was extremely negative. Humans have always had a morbid fascination with chimps because they are so like us. Chimps were taken from Africa and presented as gifts to the royals of Europe only a few hundred years ago. They have long been used in the entertainment industry; they are routinely beaten in order to make them perform. Although they are fed and provided medical care, they are confined to zoos far away from the jungle habitats where they were born. They were sent to medical research labs to be injected with all sorts of diseases and toxins when it was discovered that we share almost 99% of our DNA, making chimps perfect human analogs. They were a staple research tool during the 1980s when the AIDS epidemic was raging. Chimps were injected with HIV tainted blood in the hopes that they would develop symptoms. They would then be injected with various medicinal cocktails to see if it would affect the disease. It was later discovered that AIDS doesn't affect them the same way as it does humans, so millions of dollars were wasted by the government in this area of research.

Chimpanzees sleep because they are just like humans. They are closer to humans than any other animal!!
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
chimpanzees are monkeys no, chimpanzees are apes and not monkeys
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 share about 98.7 of their DNA, making them very genetically similar.
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.
Humans are about 98-99 genetically similar to chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom.
Chimpanzees have DNA that is closest to humans.
yes they can by humans and leopards
Humans and jungle cats.
they attack humans
98%
