Apes do not have tails, while most monkey species do. ... Ape species include humans, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons, and bonobos. In evolutionary and genetic terms, ape species are much closer to humans than monkeys are.

Scientists have sequenced the genome of the chimpanzee and found that humans are 96 percent similar to the great ape species. "Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes—he didn't go far enough," said Frans de Waal, a primate scientist at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

Monkeys and apes are both primates, which means they're both part of the human family tree. ... The quickest way to tell the difference between a monkey and an ape is by the presence or absence of a tail. Almost all monkeys have tails; apes do not.

There are two living lineages of “monkeys” - New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) and Old World monkeys (Cercopithecidae). Apes (a.k.a. hominoids): simian primates without tails. This group includes gibbons and great apes. Hominids = great apes.

All of the groups have similar characteristics, but there are characteristics that separate us. Great apes (humans, chimps, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans) generally have larger brains, larger bodies, and no tail. ... There are many different species of monkeys, and what are known as 'lesser apes'.

Ape species include humans, gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons, and bonobos. In evolutionary and genetic terms, ape species are much closer to humans than monkeys are. In addition to having similar basic body structures, apes are highly intelligent and can exhibit human-like behavior.

The chimpanzee shown below is an Old World anthropoid species and, therefore, has a catarrhine dental formula. All Old World monkeys, apes, and humans share this 2.1.2.3 dental formula. ... Some Old World monkeys and apes are semi-terrestrial.

But actually, most apes are almost entirely vegetarian, and chimps are closest to humans, and even they eat meat very rarely. ... But actually, most apes are almost entirely vegetarian, and chimps are closest to humans, and even they eat meat very rarely.

One clear difference between monkeys and apes is that monkeys almost always have tails, but hominoids never do. ... The diets of apes are similar to those of other primates. They eat fruits, nuts, seeds, leaves and sometimes other animals. They are omnivores, though most of their intake is herbivorous.

Humans are primates, but the primates that we most closely resemble are the apes. We are therefore classified along with all other apes in a primate sub-group known as the hominoids (Superfamily Hominoidea). This ape group can be further subdivided into the Great Apes and Lesser Apes.

Although gorillas are far more powerful, I'd be much more cautious around a random chimpanzee. Chimps are enough stronger than we are (roughly five times as strong, pound per pound) that we have no chance against them.

Among the living primates, humans are most closely related to the apes, which include the lesser apes (gibbons) and the great apes (chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans).

A hominid is a member of the family Hominidae, the great apes: orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. A hominine is a member of the subfamily Homininae: gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans (excludes orangutans).

Chimps are indeed smarter at social skills, as Orangutans usually keep to themselves, but Orangutans may well be smarter at tasks they encounter more frequently than Chimps do. Even human intelligence comes in many forms, and a human may be better versed in one while rather stupid in another.

the chimpanzee Four subspecies of chimpanzee exist across Africa; Western, Central, Eastern and Nigerian. The second species in the Pan genus is the Bonobo but there are no subspecies of Bonobo. Chimpanzees are classified as great apes and share 98% of our genes.
