    The chimps evolution one is really a matter of semantics, yeah?. Evolving from a shared ancestry is a different way of saying the same thing?

      … No it isn’t? It’s the same as the difference between saying your sister gave birth to you and saying your mother gave birth to you and your sister. The species humans and chimps evolved from was neither a human nor a chimpanzee.
