Pan troglodytes‚ Pan Paniscus‚ and Homo sapiens or more commonly referred to as Chimpanzees‚ Bonobos‚ and Humans have unbelievably similar biological traits that one could invoke philosophical reflection of our origin and evolution. Highly intelligent‚ social‚ vocalized‚ animals that share a taxonomic group with Homo sapiens: a tribe. But where do we draw the line? How do we define these primates as different species even at a 98% gene proportion? Are these creatures analogous to each other to the

About 2-3 million years ago Homo Habilis adapted from the original Australopithecines with a 50% larger brain. The Homo Habilis chipped flakes off the ends of volcanic rock to be used as tools. Thus‚ they were able to eat a greater variety of nutritious food increasing their mental capacity. About a million years ago the Homo Erectus adapted with a 1/3 larger brain than the Habilis. They were scavengers

The interpersonal relations of a group-living species prompted the
