In 2005, researchers announced that chimpanzees share 98.6 to 99% of their DNA structure with us humans. Chimpanzees are more human-like animals than gorillas. Notably, female chimpanzees also have a similar reproductive cycle to humans and are pregnant for a period of 8 months.

Bonobo monkey

In 2012, scientists introduced confusing differences between Bonobos, the most intelligent monkeys in the world, and chimpanzees, and in fact showed that the DNA of these two species is 99.6% similar. . That means that Bonono monkeys also have a lot in common with humans in terms of genetics, especially the way they hold objects and express emotions similar to humans.

Gorilla

This giant, muscular gorilla also has a genetic code that is 98% similar to humans. Scientists believe that about 10 million years ago, humans and gorillas separated from a common ancestor.

Lying a little further down the evolutionary tree is the orangutan, one of the primates with a genetic code extremely close to humans, up to 97% similar. The way orangutans, especially males, express emotions and develop sexuality are quite similar to humans.

Gibbons

It is one of the primates belonging to the family tree Hominoidea. About 4 million years ago, apes especially developed long, flexible arms that helped them swing trees or climb very easily. A study also shows that apes use at least 26 sounds, similar to the first humans who appeared 1.8 million years ago.

Dolphin

While sleeping, dolphins can still “recite” the whale’s “song”. According to researchers, they let five dolphins living at a marine sanctuary in France listen to a recording of “whale song” for an entire day. Surprisingly, at night, they seem to have a tendency to imitate the sounds they hear during the day, a form of sleep talking no different from humans.
