Final answer:
The statement that 'humans evolved from chimps' is false; humans share a common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos. All three species belong to the family Hominidae and share a high percentage of DNA, but chimpanzees and bonobos are more closely related to each other than to humans.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement "humans evolved from chimps" is false. Humans and chimps share a common ancestor from which they both diverged around six million years ago. This ancestral split led to the evolution of chimps and humans on separate evolutionary paths.
Although bonobos are closely related to chimpanzees, forming a sister group, humans did not evolve from either chimps or bonobos. Instead, humans and these apes share common ancestry and are part of the family Hominidae, which includes all the great apes.
Humans are related to both chimpanzees and bonobos, and all three species share a high percentage of DNA; more than 97% with gorillas, chimps, and bonobos. However, chimpanzees and bonobos are slightly more closely related to each other than they are to humans.
Chimpanzees, gorillas, humans, and orangutans all belong to the family Hominidae, exhibiting complex behavior including the ability to develop language and culture.
