I love this quote, prompted by the "news":

Darwin wasn't just provocative in saying that we descend from the apes—he didn't go far enough. We are apes in every way, from our long arms and tailless bodies to our habits and temperament. -- Frans de Waal, primate scientist at Emory University

We're more closely related to chimps than chimps are to gorillas and other apes (excluding bonobos of course). We are smart, hairless, bipedal apes.
