Although DNA evidence is the main support for separating gorillas from hominins, there are other fascinating anomalies that contribute to this suggestion.

For example, chimpanzees and humans react in very similar ways to being tickled. It is thought that chimpanzees have a reaction that is equivalent to human laughter.

Hominins have a brain capacity that enables them to apprehend and prepare for situations and learn forms of language and in turn, teach others.

Hominis are able to absorb, remember and reiterate information.

Hominins have the ability to develop tools for diverse use. These uses range from hunting for prey to sharpening their teeth.

Hominins have the ability to admire and respect their natural surroundings.

It is thought that the gorillas separated from hominins around 7 to 6 million years ago.

Hominins can be split into two subtribes. Those subtribes are panina and hominina.

Panina contain chimpanzees.

Hominina contain humans and all of their known ancestors.

PANINA

Chimpanzees.

HOMININA

Humans.
