Humans are genetically similar to chimpanzees, can chimpanzees become a new species?

This is not possible at the moment, because the evolution of a species requires a long period of natural selection, and with humans at the top of the food chain, it is unlikely that chimpanzees will become new humans.

No, humans and chimpanzees are the same species, but many years ago, our ancestors had an ancient ape that evolved into a human, but another evolved into an orangutan.

I don't think so. Mainly because he didn't have human intelligence, and they didn't know how to drill wood to make fire.

Chimpanzees are one of two animals in the genus Chimpanzees, the other being baby chimpanzees native to West and Central Africa. Studies have shown that chimpanzees and humans are genetically similar, so some scholars have advocated the merger of chimpanzee animals into the genus Human.

Maurice Goodman, a biologist at Wayne State University in the United States, and others published an article on the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, proposing that chimpanzees should be classified as humans. The reason is that they chose humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, Old World monkeys and rats as research subjects, and found that the DNA sequences of 97 functional genes in these six species are consistent with those of humans. Given that genetic similarities are overwhelming, and differences are only a small fraction, they believe that chimpanzees should belong to the genus Humans, i.e., human brothers, in terms of biological classification.

The relationship between life experience and genes not only solves the dilemmas of "egg or chicken" and "is human intelligence born or acquired", but also helps explain why the number of genes and the number of genetic differences do not play a significant role in intelligence and behavioral differences, just as people have been wondering why genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees are so small, while intelligence and behavior patterns are so large. Regarding the problems posed by the same and similar number of genes between humans and chimpanzees, Gene Hunter Ventle, who was involved in and facilitated the early completion of the Human Genome Project, argues that there are not many genes that support biological determinism. The wonderful diversity of human beings is not inherent in the genetic code.

Our environment plays a decisive role. However, some other researchers' explanations are firmer. They believe that even if there is a huge difference between humans and chimpanzees, only 33 genes are needed.

The key is how environment and experience turn these genes on or off.

The genetic similarity between chimpanzees and humans is almost 99 percent! Chimpanzees have shown that they behave in a similar way to humans!

Because although chimpanzees are genetically similar to humans, there are still many ways that are different from humans.

Because they are animals, they are less likely to be genetically altered.

Because they are fundamentally not as intelligent as humans.

This should be because there are some fundamental differences, so it is not human.

In the past, researchers relied only on morphology. From the perspective of the similarity of limbs and organs, it seems that there is still a big gap between humans and orangutans. Finally, biologists analyzed the genes of humans and orangutans and were surprised to find that the difference between humans and orangutans was only 1%, which was mainly judged by studying the genetic material "deoxyribonucleic acid".

"DNA" is a set of maps that can explain how animals develop and grow, and how they make the various proteins they need every day, such as muscles, cells and other components. Scientists judge the difference between humans and animals by analyzing a certain protein, such as analyzing the sequence of amino acids in hemoglobin. Although the results of the experiments vary slightly from house to house, the general trend is that humans and orangutans are the most similar, followed by humans and monkeys, and humans and dogs.

Roughly calculated, humans and orangutans were the same ancestor 5 million years ago.

Chimpanzees are genetically the most similar to humans, and genetic mutations are normal.

It must be that chimpanzees have a strong ability to imitate, and he learned it when he saw that humans often did this.

It's the result of biological evolution, because everything is constantly evolving.

Because humans and chimpanzees are both primates, they are genetically similar.

I think this may be due to the fact that chimpanzees are genetically similar to humans, so this is the case.

This is because humans evolved due to ape mutations, so there is such a possibility.

Hello, this is impossible. It must be ** another deceptive news.

Because chimpanzees are genetically very similar to humans, this is the case.

Among primates other than humans, chimpanzees differ the least from humans. When the researchers compared the genomes of humans and chimpanzees, they found that the similarity between the two was 98 8, with little difference in most of the sortable regions of the genome. There is also a small difference in the speed of the "evolutionary clock" between humans and chimpanzees, which researchers believe may have been the result of separate evolutions between humans and chimpanzees over the last million years.

The researchers speculate that differences in the operation of the "evolutionary clock" show differences in the timing of primate differentiation. **Lead author Ilango, of the Georgia Institute of Technology, argues that in the evolutionary history of primates, the common ancestors of humans and chimpanzees may have "separated" from the ancestors of orangutans and gorillas, which led to the "evolutionary clock" of both humans and chimpanzees slowing down, and then humans and chimpanzees diverging again. From the perspective of the "evolutionary clock", humans and chimpanzees can be called "brothers", and they are "cousins" with orangutans and gorillas.

I can't say which part is different, but I can only say that the genes of gorillas and humans have a high degree of homology, and many genes are similar to those of gorillas, and their structure and function are similar.

But after all, gorillas are still different from humans, the genes are a little longer or shorter, or some loci are different, and even the number of genes is more or less than that of humans.
