Are Humans a Third Species of Chimpanzee?

I think the point was that perhaps we should be under Pan. The morphological, genetic, and even behavioural similarities make the case a plausible one, for me.

There are greater morphological differences between genus of the hominini tribe than between genus of the Vulpini tribe of Canids.
It all comes down to lumping and splitting.
Truth be told, some people are calling for Pan to be split even more, due to the great genetic diversity between chimp groups. (Amazingly more diverse than humans... two bands of chimps living on separate banks of a river are more genetically separated than all of the human race is from one another.)

Quit messing up the argument with irrefutable facts!!!!
OK. OK. I see your point and concede that chimps and humans belong in two separate genus. Spoil sport!

Hey, I'm not saying we shouldn't honor the fact that they are so close to us.
Tribe members is still a good deal.

Tribe members is a good way of putting it! Thanks for that metaphor!

Wish I could take credit.
Tribe is the sub-group between Family and Genus.
It gets complicated.
ICZN (international code of zoological nomenclature) actually lists it as:
Superfamily - Family- Subfamily - Tribe - Subtribe - Genus - Subgenus - Superspecies - Species - Subspecies. (actually its worse than that, with infra-groups and so on)
This is why there is a movement is trying to come up with a new code... Linnaean taxonomy has gotten way out of hand trying to cope with all the new information from genetics and evolution.
Thats not even mentioning the system for plants...

It would look wrong for me to say "I am a homo Supremacist!" LOL :rainbow1:
And for Sandy Whitelinger, here is my woman:
