「pan」重定向至此。關於pan、PAN、Pan-的更多含义,詳見「PAN」。 黑猩猩屬(Pan) 是靈長目人科人亚科人族之下的一個生物分類,包括兩個物種: 黑猩猩(Pan troglodytes) 倭黑猩猩(Pan paniscus) 黑猩猩屬生物與人屬生物之間只有 1% 至 2% 的基因差異,部份生物學家因此主張把兩個屬的生物歸入同一屬,但是动物分类只是阐明它们之间的演化关系,并没有规定属与属之间的基因差异必须达到多少,即使将其归入人属,那也还是要再建立一个黑猩猩亚属来区别人与黑猩猩的演化差异。

Article

The genus Pan consists of two extant species: the bonobo and the chimpanzee. Taxonomically, these two ape species are collectively termed panins; however, both species are more commonly referred to collectively using the generalized term chimpanzees, or chimps. Together with humans, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids). Native to sub-Saharan Africa, chimpanzees and bonobos are currently both found in the Congo jungle, while only the chimpanzee is also found further north in West Africa. Both species are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and in 2017 the Convention on Migratory Species selected the chimpanzee for special protection.
