- anikan_vader 5y agoSince this is a common misconception, I'll note that humans didn't evolve from apes or chimpanzees. We share a relatively close common ancestor with them.
- __s 5y agoApe is a broad enough term (& fuzzy) that depending on context humans could be considered included or excluded from the category, meanwhile chimps & that common ancestor do fit into the category Hence I didn't say we evolved from chimpanzees, even though it'd've suited the snow clone better
