The two chimpanzee species split only regarding one million years ago.
Anatomical differences among the Common Chimpanzee and the Bonobo are slight, but in sexual and social activities there are marked differences. The Common Chimpanzee has an omnivorous diet, a troop hunting customs based on beta males led by an alpha male, and highly complex social relationships. Chimpanzee make tools and use them to acquire foods and for social displays; chimpanzee have sophisticated hunting strategies requiring support, influence and rank; they are rank aware, manipulative and capable of deception; they can study to use symbols and understand aspects of human language including some relational syntax, concepts of number and numerical sequence; and chimpanzee are capable of impulsive planning for a prospect state or event.
Chimpanzee communicates in a mode alike to human non verbal communication, using vocalizations, hand gestures, and facial expressions. Research into the chimpanzee brain has exposed that chimp communication activates an area of the chimp brain that is in the same place as Broca area, the language center in the human brain. The chimpanzee further show a talent for photographic memory, demonstrated in experiments in which the jumbled digits 1 to 9 are flashed onto a computer screen for less than a quarter of a second, after which the chimpanzee, Ayumu, is able to properly and rapidly point to the positions where they appeared in ascending order. The same research was failed by world memory champion Ben Pridmore on most attempts.
