The U.S. is the world's largest user of chimpanzees for biomedical research, with approximately 1,200 individual subjects in U.S. labs as of middle 2011, dropping to less than 700 as of 2016. Japan also still keeps a dozen chimpanzees in a research project for chimpanzee cognition (see Ai (chimpanzee)).
Oliver(c. 1957 – 2 June 2012)[1]was a former "performing" chimpanzeeonce promoted as a missing linkor "humanzee" due to his somewhat human-like appearance and a tendency to walk upright.

The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor ( CHLCA) is the last common ancestor shared by the extant Homo (human) and Pan ( chimpanzee and bonobo) genera of Hominini. Estimates of the divergence date vary widely from thirteen to five million years ago. In human genetic studies, the CHLCA is useful as an anchor point for calculating single ...

Specifically, early hominids sacrificed the robust working memory seen in chimpanzees for more complex representations and hierarchical organization used in language.
