Jeffrey Schwartz and John Grehan:
They propose the theory that orang utans are closer to humans than chimpanzees.
I guess that there is so much junk DNA floating around that chimps might carry a lot of orang utan detail and vice versa. What activates it is a great question.

An example of someone using bonobos to make statements about humans.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/03/opinion/03fri4.html
"Female bonobo chimpanzees have sex with dozens of males to obscure the paternity of offspring and thus stop males from killing infants to get their mothers to stop breastfeeding and become fertile again" ... apparently

There is an academic, Jeffrey Schwartz, who presents the argument that chimpanzees are not the closest ape to humans:

Where the monkey line meets a human-like line:
an alleged species related DIRECTLY to humans, apes and monkeys.
http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2009/05/18/Fossil-find-may-be-monkey-human-ancestor/UPI-19881242660948/
So this fossil might not be our great great great great ... great great relative but it might be a sister or niece or aunt or distant cousin of a direct ancestor of us. AND the same kind of 'nearly in the family line' could be said for apes AND for monkeys.
It is rare for a scientist to dig up a fossil and to say that it is a bit like an ape and a bit like a human. Here, we have something even rarer: something a bit like a human, a bit like an ape and a bit like a monkey.
