Abstract: It is fascinating to think about biology and behavior in humans and other animals. Chimpanzees are particularly interesting because they are humans’ closest living relatives. In this article, we will tell you about how humans grow up and age compared to chimpanzees, and how to calculate your age in chimpanzee years. Humans and chimpanzees are roughly similar in age after birth, but humans take a bit longer to mature and age. Also, some humans live much longer than chimpanzees do. This means many of us live long enough to interact with our grandchildren and also struggle with aging-related problems, but this is less the case for chimpanzees.
