That means they are not of the same immediate family.

Conspecific means, in this context, chimpanzees (I assume). “Genetically unrelated” can’t mean what it says because otherwise the other creature can’t be a chimp. I presume that it means that the genetic relationship isn’t close. But I don’t know exactly what that means. Is the idea really so deep or so subtle that it can’t be phrased briefly in clear English?
