Hair is a way to keep warm and have protection from the harmful part of sunlight. When human ancestors became bipedal (walking on two legs), they lost bodily hair and developed darker skin. The darker skin protected the skin from sun damage. The loss of hair gave a larger area of bare skin which would help cool the body when sweating. These traits (and others) allowed humans to be out in the Savannah during the hottest part of the day when other animals (especially dangerous ones) were trying to cool themselves in the shade. Humans were also able to use persistent hunting as well, because they had a more effective cooling system then their prey. Chimpanzees live in dense forests and don't need to spend so much time in the sun because there is a lot of shade within the forest, so having no hair wouldn't be much of an advantage.

What relationship do chimpanzees have with the moon?
They are intelligent because they are like humans but hairy and they have the hands like humans so the fingers and they know how to use them
What evidence is there that humans did NOT descend from chimpanzees?
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.
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.
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.
Which primates is mostly related to modern humans?
Chimpanzees are our closest living relative. We share 98% of their dna codes.
To what species do humans belong?
Since humans can breath on land, they are mammals since their close relatives of chimpanzees
Why are dogs hairey?
Dogs are hairy for the same reason humans are. Why are humans hairy?
Are chimpanzees and gorillas homo sapiens?
No. Humans, Chimpanzees and gorillas are all primates....but homo sapiens were the first modern human species.
Do chimpanzees sleep?
Chimpanzees sleep because they are just like humans. They are closer to humans than any other animal!!
What is the difference between primates and chimpanzees?
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
Are chimpanzee's apes or monkeys?
chimpanzees are monkeys no, chimpanzees are apes and not monkeys
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.
