A recent study suggest that chimps belong into the Human Genus. So species name should be changed accordingly into Homo.
The figure shows the inferred phylogenetic relationships among select catarrhines: Old World monkeys, apes and humans. The members of the genus Homo (as proposed in the paper) are shown in green, estimated dates of divergence in white and other catarrhines in yellow.

This functional DNA evidence supports two previously offered taxonomic proposals: family Hominidae should include all extant apes; and genus Homo should include three extant species and two subgenera, Homo (Homo) sapiens (humankind), Homo (Pan) troglodytes (common chimpanzee), and Homo (Pan) paniscus (bonobo chimpanzee).
