Chimpanzees have DNA that is 99.7% comparable to a humans DNA. Because of this FACT, some people argue that humans too can be classified as animals. Those who say that humans are not, in fact, animals and who choose to eat meat, would then have to philosophically support the moral cause of eating a chimpanzee.

If the chimpanzee got me real mad, I would probably bite it!

If we were in the desert or jungle and I was starving to death, I would rather eat the chimanzee before it ate me Laughing

There is still 0.3% non-human in there. And that's delicious.

Chimpanzees have their own genus and are Pan troglodytes and humans are Homo sapiens. Pan and Homo are their respective genera. There are some geneticists out there arguing that the closeness of their DNA would, with other species, have them in the same genus.

So it should be Homo troglodytes and Homo sapiens.

I would want them well cooked, but would avoid them as the closeness would increase the chance of picking up a disease that could thrive in my own body.

I wouldn't eat a chimpanzee. They have funeral rites for their dead. That's way too advanced to consider eating.

uh, hypothetical/philosophical discussions and moral leanings aside, a lot of people wouldn't eat a monkey for a number of reasons. Maybe they're vegetarian. Maybe there are plenty of Dunkin Donuts and Pizza Hut shops and other delicious alternatives to monkey meat. Maybe there aren't any monkeys in Seoul/Korea. Even if I was starving, had access to a freshly killed, disease-free monkey, I might still pass just because I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to cook it. And making monkey gravy? Eeww, now that's just gross.

This is kind of a dumb topic, you know? Even if I would eat a monkey, well, so what?

Conversely, people can have up to a 10% difference between individual genetic codes. source

So forget these chimpanzees. Would you eat that guy who is the genetic opposite of you? tall/short, black/blonde hair, dark/light skin, diabetes/healthy?

Remember, the genetic variation is delicious!

I'd eat chimpanzee if it died naturally and was clean.

Chimpanzees are blood type A.
Yet maybe they taste like chicken.
On par with monkey brains as far as I'm concerned.

Only if my life depended on it.

Next question.
