There is no fossil record for chimpanzee's, apart from that, similarities no way prove same kind or prove shared common ancestor.
The coccyx is not a tail bone, it is a part of the pelvis that anchors several muscles.

Um, mammals' tails have muscles, too. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to move them, like dogs wagging their tails for instance.
"There is no fossil record for chimpanzee's..."
There is, however, a fossil record for the ancestors of chimpanzees (note the lack of apostrophe) and humans. They're one and the same.
"...similarities no way prove same kind or prove shared common ancestor."
Yes they do. Ever heard of the nested hierarchy of life? Thought not.
"The coccyx is not a tail bone..."
You're right it's not, it's a vestigial tail bone.
"...it is a part of the pelvis that anchors several muscles."
While also being the remnants of a tail.
And further more, MC2 =/= E!
MC^2=E.
Biology AND physics FAIL.
Get thee to a middle school!
I wonder if "MC2 = E" could actually derive the formula for mass-energy from the basics of special relativity or if s/h/it just thinks that memorizing a short formula makes you smart. (I mean, dude, it's lower-division physics!)
If the coccyx is not a tail bone, then how come
1. Other animals' tail bones are structured in exactly the same way as the coccyx
2. Some humans have been born with tails within the last century?
Take as long as you need, then get back to me.
E=MC2! Coccyx! Pelvis! Me so smrt!
It's always funny when people use big words to try and sound smart, and then fail massively because of some basic flaw :)
The funny thing is that even if there was not one single fossil we can still prove evolution you dim wit.
You should check out the work being done in evolutionary genetics, especially the part about viral RNA. Pretty cool.
There is no fossil record for chimpanzee's,what?
BTW, there was a kid in my P.E. class in high school who had a tail, about 4" long (I estimate - locker room statistics), and quite hairy, almost furry. Damn, getting that thing snapped with wet towels must have been hell.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
