Common Chimpanzee

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Common Chimpanzee, also known as the Robust Chimpanzee, is a great ape. The name troglodytes, Greek for 'cave-dweller', was coined by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in his Handbuch der Naturgeschichte published in 1779. Colloquially, it is often called the chimpanzee, though technically this term refers to both species in the genus Pan: the Common Chimpanzee and the closely-related Bonobo, or Pygmy Chimpanzee. The chimpanzee is believed to be the closest living relative of human beings.
