What else can I help you with?
Do people dissect chimpanzees?
We are not directly descended from chimpanzees, we share a common ancestor.
How are humans and chimpanzees phylogenetically related?
They share a common ancestor.
How are human beings and chimpanzees phylogenetically related?
They share a common ancestor.
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.
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 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.
How many years did it take for a chimpanzee to turn into a human?
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, but both species evolved from a common ancestor.
True or false Biologists believe that humans descended from chimpanzees?
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.
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.
The sequence of amino acids in the cytochrome c molecule an enzyme found in mitochondria is identical in humans and chimpanzees This fact best supports the concept that?
humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. The similarity in the amino acid sequence suggests that the gene coding for cytochrome c has been conserved over evolutionary time, pointing to a close evolutionary relationship between the two species.
According to the fossil record it is not correct to say that humans evolved from chimpanzees?
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.
Why is the DNA of humans and chimpanzees so very similar?
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.
