How does DNA evidence support the claim that chimps are the most closely related to humans?
You can see that chimps are related to humans from DNA. We share about 98% of the nucleotides with chimps. The ERV's between chimps and humans are reverse transcripted into both creatures in the same spots and that is not plausible by anything but a relationship with them. The Chromosomes are identical except for chromosome #2 in humans and that shows a fusion of two chromosomes from our ancestors.
Chimps along with all of our primate cousins are going extinct.
Like in comparative morphology, comparative genomics shows that in the nested hierarchies, chimps have the most homologies and the fewest differences in a nucleotide by nucleotide comparison of the genome.

What is the closest species to humans?
Depending on who is telling the story, chimps have close to 100% similarity in their DNA to our DNA (human beings). Some scientists believe it's 97% similar while others believe it is 99% similar. Because chimps have very similar DNA (the most similar of all the animals), they are the closest mammals to the human beings.
Who are Jane Goodall siblings?
chimps
Why are chimps omnivores?
chimps are omnivores because the eat not only the leaves of trees but also small bugs and insects such as ants and termites
What happened in our recent ancestry that did NOT happen in the chimps recent ancestry?
An event that happened in our recent ancestry that did not happen in the recent ancestry of chimps was the Industrial Revolution.
What is Jane Goodall achievements?
Jane Goodall won many different awards from many different countries. She also found out things about the way chimps use and make tools that has changed the way scientists think about how chimps and humans are related.
What species are humans closely related to?
apes and chimps
What are two pieces of information that indicate that humans are more closely related to chimps than to new world American chimps?
Behavior and adaptions
Is there a difference between a monkey and a chimp?
Yes, there is a difference between monkeys and chimps. Monkeys have tails, while chimps do not. Chimps are also more closely related to humans than monkeys are.
Which two organisms are more closely related lizards and pigeons or mice and chimps?
Mice and chimps are more closely related than lizards and pigeons. Both mice and chimps are mammals, sharing a more recent common ancestor compared to the more distantly related reptiles (lizards) and birds (pigeons). The evolutionary lineage of mammals diverged from reptiles and birds much later, making the connection between mice and chimps stronger.
What are some differences of a chimpanzee and a monkey?
monkeys have tails! Also, genetically speaking, if Chimps are our cousins, then monkeys are our 2nd cousins (we are more closely related to chimps, genetically speaking). :)
Should Chimpanzees have Human Rights as they have 95 percent of Human DNA?
No. Although chimps are closely related they are not human.
What animal are humans more closely genetically linked to pigs or apes?
humans are more closely related to chimps they share 99% of the same dna and us
Is monkeys related to humans?
Yes but chimps are closer related.
Are chimpanzees related to gorillas?
Chimpanzees are somewhat related to gorillas. As humans, we are more closely related to chimpanzees however. Chimps are smaller than the gorilla.
Who are the howler monkeys related to?
its ia realste to chimps
What group does chimps come from?
primates Chimpanzees are great apes that are closely related to humans. These intelligent primates live in a variety of environments in western and central Africa. Because of the rapid deforestation of their habitats, chimpanzees are an endangered species
Can a man and an ape have offspring?
Technically, Man is a species of ape. The other species of ape and Man are very closely related. And if two species are related closely enough (as with, for instance, donkeys and horses), they might be able to produce hybrid offspring. Of course having a recent enough common ancestor in itself is not a guarantee that it is possible for Humans and Chimps to hybridize, but it might still be possible.
