Assuming chimps and gorillas are humans' closest relatives, removing humans from the great ape clade and placing them in a different clade has the effect of making the phylogenetic tree of the great apes .

Paraphyletic.

Explanation:

In cladistics, a monophyletic group, or clade, is a group of organisms that consists of all the descendants of a common ancestor. While a paraphyletic group consists of all of the descendants of a common ancestor minus one or more monophyletic groups, for instance as in this case, just as humans are removed from the great ape clade and placed in a different clade. This has the effect of making the phylogenetic tree of the great apes PARAPHYLETIC.

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
