This chart on your website shows the blocks of conserved synteny in
human and chimp.  It has been shown that two chimp chromosomes fused to
form human chromosome 2.  So human chromosome 2 should have two blocks
of color corresponding to two chimp chromosomes.  Also, chimps should
have 1 more chromosome than humans.
