Humans and chimpanzees share approximately 98% of their DNA, making them our closest living relatives in the animal kingdom. This genetic similarity means we have many physical and biological traits in common, such as similar brain structures and social behaviors. Studying chimpanzees helps scientists learn more about human evolution and biology.
Despite this close relationship, humans and chimpanzees are very different in many ways, including language and culture. Understanding our shared DNA highlights the connection between all living beings and emphasizes the importance of protecting endangered species like chimpanzees for biodiversity and scientific knowledge.
