An active question about whether or not chimps can evolve into human-like beings is to be found at

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Will_Chimps_Pan_troglodytes_and_P_paniscus_eventually_evolve_into_a_Homo-like_being

The problem is most of us interested in that question have not much background in evolutionary history of humans, chimps, and Neanderthals, including when and where the divisions occurred.  Can someone who IS an expert weigh in here so that we can get a logical answer to this worthy question?
