Can Chimpanzee Biology Highlight Human Origin and Evolution?

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2010
The closest living relatives of humans are their chimpanzee/bonobo (Pan) sister species, members of the same subfamily “Homininae”. This classification is supported by over 50 years of research in the fields of chimpanzee cultural diversity, language ...

Eastern Chimpanzees, but not Bonobons, represent a simian immunodeficiency virus reservoir [PDF]

, 2012
Chimpanzees in west central Africa (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) are endemically infected with simian immunodeficiency viruses(SIVcpzPtt) that have crossed the species barrier to humans and gorillas on at least five occasions, generating pandemic and ...

Sex-differences in age-related decline of urinary insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 levels in adult bonobos and chimpanzees

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016
There is increasing interest in the characterization of normative senescence in humans. To assess to what extent aging patterns in humans are unique, comparative data from closely-related species, such as non-human primates, can be very useful.

Differences in the ability of apes and children to instruct others using gestures [PDF]

, 2015
In all human cultures, people gesture iconically. However, the evolutionary basis of iconic gestures is unknown. In this study, chimpanzees and bonobos, and 2- and 3-year-old children, learned how to operate two apparatuses to get rewards. Then, at test,

Reduced bonobo MHC class I diversity predicts a reduced viral peptide binding ability compared to chimpanzees

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background The highly polymorphic genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I are involved in defense against viruses and other intracellular pathogens. Although several studies found reduced MHC class I diversity in bonobos in comparison

Frontal sinus variation in extant species of the genera Pan, Gorilla and Homo

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2021
Frontal pneumatisation is not present in all primates, and among extant species, ethmoidally-derived frontal sinuses are present only in the genera Pan, Gorilla and Homo. A simple and repeatable method is described here to quantify variation in the shape,
