Veterinary Record, 2014
WE would like to highlight a new study into great ape mortality and request information and samples. Vicky Strong is studying towards a doctorate in veterinary medicine at the University of Nottingham supervised by Malcolm Cobb, Kate White and Sharon Redrobe.

Evolution and demography of the great apes
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2016The great apes are the closest living relatives of humans. Chimpanzees and bonobos group together with humans, while gorillas and orangutans are more divergent from humans. Here, we review insights into their evolution pertaining to the topology of species and subspecies and the reconstruction of their demography based on genome-wide variation.

The ethics of research on great apes
Nature, 2005In the wake of the chimpanzee genome publication, Pascal Gagneux, James J. Moore and Ajit Varki consider the ethical and scientific challenges for scientists who work on captive great apes. The cover photo by Kevin Langergraber shows the adult female chimpanzee ‘Jolie’ in Kibale National Park, Uganda.

The Y chromosomes of the great apes
Human Genetics, 2017The great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans) descended from a common ancestor around 13 million years ago, and since then their sex chromosomes have followed very different evolutionary paths. While great-ape X chromosomes are highly conserved, their Y chromosomes, reflecting the general lability and degeneration of this male ...

How great is great ape foresight?
Animal Cognition, 2009Osvath and Osvath (Anim Cogn 11: 661-674, 2008) report innovative studies with two chimpanzees and one orangutan that suggest some capacity to select and keep a tool for use about an hour later. This is a welcome contribution to a small, but rapidly growing, field.

Abstract Between 20 and 30 million years ago, probably in Africa, a new group of primates evolved, branching off from the existing primates, the Old World monkeys. The second taxon, the great apes, emerged as a new type of animal in the world. That novelty has forever changed our planet. The most primitive of the great apes, the gibbons,

Journal of Human Evolution, 2008
The cooking hypothesis proposes that a diet of cooked food was responsible for diverse morphological and behavioral changes in human evolution. However, it does not predict whether a preference for cooked food evolved before or after the control of fire.

Belief Representation in Great Apes
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2019A new study by Kano and colleagues shows that great apes use their own visual experience to attribute perceptions and beliefs to another agent. Their results suggest that the way apes understand behavior is more similar to human understanding than was previously thought, and may be driven by representations of mental states.

Sexual Aggression in the Great Apes
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1988Species-typical frequencies of copulation during the menstrual cycle differ among common chimpanzee, orang-utan, and gorilla, but all three species exhibit a midcycle enhancement associated with estrus. Thus, in the natural habitat, chimpanzees mate for 10-14 days, orang-utans for 5-6 days, and gorillas for 2-3 days.
