Oliver (c. 1957 – 2 June 2012) [1] was a former "performing" chimpanzee once promoted as a missing link or "humanzee" due to his somewhat human-like appearance and a tendency to walk upright. Despite his somewhat unusual appearance and behavior, scientists found that Oliver was not a human-chimpanzee hybrid.
In the 1970s, a performing chimpanzee named Oliver was popularized as a possible "mutant" or even a human–chimpanzee hybrid. [25] Claims that Oliver had 47 chromosomes—midpoint between the normal 46 for humans and 48 for chimpanzees—were disproven after an examination of his genetic material at the University of Chicago in 1996.

Oliver (1957–2012)—chimpanzee, the so-called "Missing Link", apparent "humanzee" Panbanisha—bonobo at the same research center as Kanzi; Panpanzee (1985–2014)—chimpanzee at the same research center as Kanzi; Poco (1981)—chimpanzee researched by Robin Crompton whose early confinement resulted in human-like bipedality
The chimpanzee and the bonobo are the only species in the genus Pan. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is thus humans' closest living relative. The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet.
During this period, he owned the "human" chimp Oliver. [3] Helfer was cleared of all accusations except one concerning the death of a tiger due to an overdose by the veterinarian, not Helfer. The matter was supposed to go to the Supreme Court, but never did. Helfer left the business because of the imminent financial pressure of the suit.
As consistent with this fact, on the other hand, in Japanese wikipedia article of Oliver ja:オリバー君, an examination in NIRS revealed that Oliver had 23 24 pairs of chromosomes, 4 pieces of lumbar vertebra (showed up on the X rays), and the same serum protein pattern as a chimpanzee has, and thus he was a common chimpanzee (though this ...

Formerly the bonobo was known as the "pygmy chimpanzee", despite the bonobo having a similar body size to the common chimpanzee. The name "pygmy" was given by the German zoologist Ernst Schwarz in 1929, who classified the species on the basis of a previously mislabeled bonobo cranium, noting its diminutive size compared to chimpanzee skulls.
