Chimpanzee

*Bonobo: Pan paniscus 
*Common Chimpanzee: Pan troglodytes
Commonly known simply as "chimps" are two extant hominid species of apes in the genus Pan split apart by the Congo River. They are members of the group Hominidae (the great apes) which also includes Humans, Gorillas and Orangutans. Chimpanzees are thought to have split from the human branch about 4-6 Million Years ago. The two Pan species split only about one million years ago. Sharing 98.5% of our genetic material, Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives.
