"after humans separated from their common ancestor ... chimpanzees." I DO NOT want to start an evolution argument here but.... Modern chimpanzees the ancestors of humans and Neanderthals? I don't think so. Evolutionary theory posits common ancestors to great apes and humans, but saying that humans descended from chimps is horribly sloppy science.

If humans evolved from apes, why do we still have apes?
Are they the evolutionary underachievers?

"after humans separated from their common ancestor ... chimpanzees." There's at least one word missing there. Any number of words(even a simple "with") would restore the accuracy
