With the10 comparisons between chimps and humans. These are the ten comparisons number of species, DNA, brain size, sociability, language and facial expressions, diet, sex, walking upright, eye and the tools used. Humans and both chimpanzee species evolved from a common ancestor, possibly sahelanthropus tchadensis, between five and seven million years ago. Only fossils of this ancestor remain. Chimpanzees and Humans share 99% the same DNA. With the genetic comparison is simple due to the nature of gene repeats and mutations, but a better estimate is somewhere from 95% to 85%. But most DNA is used to basic cellular functions for all living things share. Like, for example, we have about half the same DNA as a banana, and but yet people do not use this to be similar.

have a high surface area because they are much more wrinkled than chimpanzee brains. These, as well has a larger frontal lobe, allow us much more of the luxury of abstract and logical thought. Humans spend an equal time socializing, although more through talking than grooming. Chimpanzees spend a great deal of time socializing too, and their socializing is grooming each other. Humans demonstrate stronger relationships through physical contact a pat on the back, a hug. Chimpanzees have about 50 close friends and acquaintances, and humans have between 150 and 200. Humans and Chimpanzees are both eat plants and meat. Humans are more omnivorous than chimpanzees, and they have intestines more refined towards the digestion of meat. Humans are much more dependent on meat; humans can only obtain vitamin B12 naturally from eating animal products. This is based on our digestive system and the lifestyles of extant tribes. Humans also tend to eat in meals rather than continuously eating throughout the day. Humans and chimpanzees can walk individual on two legs. Humans have white around their irises, whereas chimpanzees usually have a dark brown color. Both chimpanzees and humans can see in color, this helps them to choose plants and ripe fruits to eat and have binocular vision and their eyes point forward in the same direction. This helps see in depth and is necessary to hunting, rather than eyes on the side of the head like rabbits that help avoid being hunted. Both humans and chimpanzees can change their environment to forge tools to help with daily challenges.
The humans have a 6% difference in DNA with Chimps.
This number of 1% was based on the sheer similar genes. The 6% was from a new method that takes gene duplication and protein function into account. The research also shows some of the traits have a neurobiological basis, and that those features vary according to the sex of the individual chimpanzee.
The researchers analyzed complete questionnaires for 174 chimpanzees housed at the Yerkes National Primate Center at Emory University. They ran extensive individual analyzed to find out which traits tend to go together, and which combine to make more basic, fundamental "meta-traits."( www.science20.com)
The analysis showed that the most fundamental personality trait for chimpanzees is dominance that is, whether an animal is a dominant and under a controlled with Alpha or a more playful and sociable Beta.
But those two big categories can be broken down statistically into smaller personality traits in ways that echo the personality structures researchers have repeatedly found in child and adult human
subjects.
Alpha characters, for example, statistically break down into tendencies toward dominance and disinhibition. Beta characters, on the other hand, show weak dominance and positive emotionality.
Chimps who was born with a common variant in the genes that control vasopressin behaved differently than their peers, by the males showing more dominance and more disinhibition, but the females less of both.
By, research shows not only a neurobiological basis for personality, but an evolutionary basis as well. The neurobiological bases of personality can vary according to the biological sex of the subject, at least in chimpanzees. Chimpanzee personality appears to have almost the same ingredients as human characters, and that similarity seems to arise from the species' similar neurobiology. (www.science20.com)
The exact criteria for membership in the Homininae are not clear, but the subfamily generally includes those species that share more than 97% of their DNA with the modern human genome, and exhibit a capacity for language or simple cultures beyond the family or band. However, without the ability to test whether early members of the Homininae such as Homo had a theory of mind, it 's hard to ignore similarities seen in their living cousins. Despite an apparent lack of real culture and significant physiological differences, some say that the orangutan may also satisfy these criteria.
