Bonobos and chimpanzees,

Because humans shared about 99% dna with chimpanzees. But there are actually two species that are closely related to humans. These are 1.) Bonobos and 2.) Chimpanzees.

Many might think it's the chimpanzee since, physically, it's looks like us. But no, bonbos is the answer.


Bonobos are a species of apes really similar to chimpanzees, but smaller, skinnier, and less furry in some part of the body, and they are estimated to share about 99.5% of our DNA.



Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!
