- Crito 12y agoWiki has humans and chimpanzees/bonobos in different subtribes, so humans wouldn't be under "Chimpanzees ->": Tribe Hominini Subtribe Panina Genus Pan Chimpanzee (common chimpanzee), Pan troglodytes Central chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes troglodytes Western chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes verus Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes ellioti Eastern chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii Bonobo (pygmy chimpanzee), Pan paniscus Subtribe Hominina Genus Homo Human, Homo sapiens Anatomically modern human, Homo sapiens sapiens
- tejon 12y agoYeah, it's not the mainstream classification but it's been proposed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Chimpanzee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Third_Chimpanzee) and I find it entertaining. So. ;)
- lotsofmangos 12y agoI particularly like Pans Narrans as a classification. Though I suspect that Pans Superbia might be unfortunately closer to the mark.
