'''Chimpanzee''', often shortened to chimp, is the common name for the two extant species in the genus ''Pan''. The better known chimpanzee is ''Pan troglodytes'', the common chimpanzee, living primarily in West and Central Africa. Its cousin, the [[Bonobo]] or "Pygmy Chimpanzee" as it is known archaically, ''Pan paniscus'', is found in the forests of the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. The Congo River forms the boundary between the two species.

'''Chimpanzee''' is the common name for the two extant species in the genus ''Pan'': the common chimpanzee (''Pan troglodytes''), living primarily in West and Central Africa; and the [[Bonobo]] or pygmy chimpanzee (''Pan paniscus''), found in the forests of the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. The Congo River forms the boundary between the two species.
The name "chimpanzee", adopted by Europeans in 1738, derives from the Bantu ''kivili-chimpenze'' ("mock man").
