Summary Introduction
To review:
The three anatomical differences between humans and chimpanzees.
Introduction:
Humans have forward looking eyes, hands and feet with ten fingers and ten toes, and shoulder and elbow joints that allow the arms to rotate are characteristics retained from our arboreal ancestors. Genetic and anatomical characteristics show that chimpanzees are our closest living relatives.
