👉 Pangenesis is a theory that suggests that humans and apes are related to each other through shared ancestors, rather than genetically distinct species. This theory was developed by Charles Darwin in his book "On the Origin of Species." Pangenesis holds that humans and chimpanzees have some common ancestry, as both share a common ancestor with the orangutan. However, it is not universally accepted, and there are many different theories about how this relationship might have evolved over time.
