Some even argue that they should be taxonomically categorised as Homo, the same genus as humans.Ĭhimpanzees are highly intelligent, with complex social structures and distinct cultures. There are four recognised sub-species of chimpanzee: the western chimpanzee found in West Africa, the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee found only in Nigeria and Cameroon, the central chimpanzee found in Cameroon and Congo Basin, and the eastern chimpanzee found in Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.Ĭhimpanzees share about 99% of our DNA, making them the closest living relative of humans.
