Detailed explanation-1: -In evolutionary terms humans and chimpanzees are more similar as they belong to the same order Primate and family Hominidae. They are both mammals. Humans are more similar to Pan troglodytes (chimpanzees). The scientific name of humans is Homo sapiens.
Detailed explanation-2: -In terms of evolution, organisms belonging to the same species have more in common than organisms belonging to different species of the same genus or different genus. We have more in common with a Chinese school-boy because both belongs to the same species of Homo sapiens, and thus, share a common ancestor.
