Why wasn't man's ancestor an ape ? Whose genotype is closer to the human genotype than the monkey ?
Was. And technically, man is still an ape, just as he is a primate, a mammal, or a eukaryote.
Of course, no modern ape was the ancestor of man, but to a first approximation, that ancestor ape was similar in features to a chimpanzee.
The genomes of all animals are to some extent related to the human genome, the differences are in the degree of kinship. With chimpanzees, we are most closely related-and our genomes are 99% similar, with other monkeys – we are more distantly related. By the way, the macaque, for example, is a more distant relative to chimpanzees than we and chimpanzees are to each other.
We have a long – standing relationship with mice. With pisces – even more so. etc.
Why wasn't man's ancestor an ape ?””” This is such an ancient myth that I'm too lazy to even describe anything. I'll just leave a link to the video. Everything was clearly explained there. Video_______ _
