*pan troglodytes*
(‘pan’ being a reference to the greek god of [‘nature’ / ‘wilderness’])
(‘eastern chimpanzee’)
(‘west’/’central’ africa)
.
*4 sub-species*
(with a 5th under proposal)
*CENTRAL CHIMPANZEE*
.
*WESTERN CHIMPANZEE*
.
*NIGERIAN-CAMEROON CHIMPANZEE*
.
*EASTERN CHIMPANZEE*
.
.
as well as…
*SUB-EASTERN CHIMPANZEE*
(proposed ‘sub-group’ of ‘eastern chimpanzee’)
.
.
*pan troglodytes (schweinfurthii)*
.
(colloquially called chimps)
.
*chimpanzees are 1 of the 2 species of the genus pan*
(the other being the bonobo)
.
(together with ‘gorillas’, they are the only exclusively african species of ‘great ape’ that are currently ‘extant‘)
.
(native to ‘sub-saharan africa’, both ‘chimpanzees’ + ‘bonobos’ are currently found in the ‘congo jungle’)
.
‘chimpanzee’ is the common name for the 2 extant species of ape in the genus pan*
.
*the ‘congo river’ forms the ‘boundary’ between the ‘native habitat’ of the 2 species*
.
#1
“common chimpanzee”
pan troglodytes
(“west / central africa”)
.
#2
“bonobo”
pan paniscus
(forests of the ”democratic republic of -the ‘congo’-“)
.
.
*’chimpanzees’ split from ‘human evolution’ about 6 million years ago*
.
(…and the 2 ‘chimpanzee species’ are the closest living relatives to ‘humans’, all being ‘members’ of the ‘hominini tribe’…)
“hit a ‘home run’ for me!”
.
(along with ‘extinct species’ of ‘hominina sub-tribe’)
.
*’chimpanzees’ are the only known members of the ‘panina sub-tribe’*
.
*the 2 pan species split only ‘~1 million years ago’*
