Here's a breakdown:
* Humans belong to the family Hominidae, which includes all apes. This family includes gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and humans.
* Our closest living relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos. We share about 98.7% of our DNA with them.
* We share a common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos that lived around 6-8 million years ago. This ancestor was likely more ape-like than human-like.
So, while we may look different from our ape relatives, we are more similar to them genetically than we are to any other animal on Earth.
