Les dynamiques sociales autour de la naissance de trois bonobos - une approche comparative et évolutive

open access: yesRevue de Primatologie, 2015
Le concept d’évolution tourne autour de la reproduction. Le moment de l’accouchement est probablement le plus critique de tout le processus reproductif puisque en quelques heures la vie de la mère comme de l’enfant peut être sérieusement menacée.

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

Diversity and distribution of Blastocystis sp. subtypes in non-human primates. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Blastocystis SSU-rDNA sequence data from 317 captive and free-living non-human primates (NHPs) representing 30 genera of apes, Old and New World (OW and NW) monkeys and prosimians were analysed to investigate subtype (ST) and allele distribution among ...

Acquisition of terrestrial life by human ancestors influenced by forest microclimate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Bipedalism, terrestriality and open habitat were thought to be linked to each other in the course of human evolution. However, recent paleontological evidence has revealed that early hominins evolved in a wooded, humid environment.

Fishing for iodine: what aquatic foraging by bonobos tells us about human evolution

open access: yesBMC Zoology, 2019
Background Expansion of brain tissue and development of advanced cognitive skills are characteristic traits of human evolution. Their emergence has been causally linked to the intake of nutrients that promote brain development and iodine is considered a ...

Does sympathy motivate prosocial behaviour in great apes? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Prosocial behaviours such as helping, comforting, or sharing are central to human social life. Because they emerge early in ontogeny, it has been proposed that humans are prosocial by nature and that from early on empathy and sympathy motivate such ...

Missing Landmark Estimation Using Reverse Engineering: Challenges and Potential Solutions for the Study of Hominin Long Bones

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fragmentary preservation represents a fundamental limitation in palaeoanthropological research, particularly for postcranial elements where symmetry cannot be exploited and large portions of bone are frequently missing. Although a wide range of virtual reconstruction methods exist, many rely on strong anatomical priors, localized interpolation,

Epiphyseal fusion and dental development in Pan paniscus with comparisons with Pan troglodytes

open access: yes, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Compared with frequent studies of skeletal development in chimpanzees, relatively little is known about bonobo skeletal development. This study seeks to explore the relationship between skeletal and dental development in both species of Pan ...

Differences in the cognitive skills of bonobos and chimpanzees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
While bonobos and chimpanzees are both genetically and behaviorally very similar, they also differ in significant ways. Bonobos are more cautious and socially tolerant while chimpanzees are more dependent on extractive foraging, which requires tools. The
