What is the taxonomy for a gorilla, chimpanzee and man?

i have to show using the system of classification that there are more structural similarities between a chimpanzee and gorilla than between chimpanzee and man...


(using taxonomy)|||The taxonomy is not the way to make these comparisons. The taxonomy is an old system for classification of organisms based on superficial physical characteristics. A much better system is based on the genetic changes between the species. Using the DNA, the chimpanzee's closest relatives are the human and the bonobo.
