Chimpanzees Are Amazing!

Chimps share more than 98% of their DNA with humans, and along with the bonobos, are man’s closest relatives.  We share much in common, including many complex emotions, facial expressions, higher intelligence, the ability to make and use tools, and close family ties.  Though chimpanzees are unable to speak, they have some ability to understand and use language that has been demonstrated by research using sign-language and computers.
