not so.Humans are not apes, great or small.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, apes 24.
Evidently no human came out of any ape.
\Chromosomal fusion occurs in about 1 in 1000 live births. It's believed that a common human-chimpanzee ancestor had two of its chromosomes fuse together a few million years ago. Chromosome 21 is involved in 50% of these translocations, followed by chromosome 14 (33.4%) and chromosome 13 (14.1%). Involvement of chromosomes 15 and 22 in Robertsonian translocations is uncommon (1.9% and 0.6%, respectively).
