Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Chimpanzze
Our closest animal relatives are the Chimpanzee. About 98% of the DNA in our genes is exactly the same as in chimpanzees, making us as closely related to a chimp as horses are close to zebras. Chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor, who was probably swinging through the trees about 5 million years ago. Many other species of ape around at the same time eventually became extinct.
Other apes like Gorilla and Orangutans are also close to Human but the Chimpanzee is the closest.
