Pan troglodytes. Pan is a reference to the Greek god who was half-man and half-goat, a satyr. So basically, this refers to the way that Chimps are viewed as being half-man and half-animal. Troglodytes means "cave dwellers" in Greek. This refers to their perceived primitive lifestyle. Their is actually a community of Chimps in Senegal who cool off in caves, but this is extremely rare when compared to the activities of Chimps from other areas of Africa.
