      The chimpanzee is most similar to us- we have a very similar genetic make up to them. I wish we could swing from tree to tree

      The Ape! they have opposable thumbs like humans which means they can use their hands like we do! I also think they look most like a human and can act like them. Have you seen the PG tips advert?! The monkey is practically a human!

      Apes are the closest, although other animals and even birds do use some tools. I’m not sure I want to think of which animal I look the most like!!
