There are lots of argues about human beings origin. Some people claim that human beings' origin comes from monkeys while some are claiming that this idea is unreasonable. But, although humans and chimpanzees do not seem very much alike at first glance, they share a number of remarkably similar characteristics, which may shed light on our evolutionary history.
First of all, the skeletons of humans and chimpanzees are quite similar; both speciesposses five fingerson each hand, including a movable thumb, which makes hand capable of grasping objects.
The next similarity is that female chimpanzees have fewer young than other mammals, and humans do, too. The young of the chimpanzee species, similar to human young, are born after a gestation period of about 9 months and then stay with their mothersfor several years.
The latest one is that both humans and chimpanzees communicate similarly. Although the sounds which are made by chimpanzees do not really resemble those made by humans, many experts believe that there is a real similarity in the way both species can use obstract symbols to communicate meanings.
In conclusion, there are lots of similarities between humans and chimps in terms of their skeletons, having fewer youngs, and communicating ways.

Firstly I want to say that I couldn't see a thesis statement. If you mentioned what you will write about it would be better. And if you wrote the similar features in different paragraphs it would also be better. Except from that your essay is good organised and your writing style is also beautiful.
