Jan. 24, 2023 Humans retain an understanding of gestures made by other great apes, even though we no longer use them ourselves, according to a new ...
Oct. 6, 2020 New analysis of the DNA sequence of the male-specific Y chromosomes from all living species of the great ape family helps to clarify our understanding of how this enigmatic chromosome ...
Dec. 16, 2020 Chimpanzees and bonobos are sister species that diverged around 1.8 million years ago as the Congo River formed a geographic boundary and they evolved in separate environments. Now, a whole-genome ...
Apr. 7, 2022 Chimpanzees seem to know when a skull is chimpanzee-like, relating to the phenomenon of pareidolia that is linked to the brain's ability to detect faces. The researchers posit that chimpanzee ...
Mar. 5, 2021 Chimpanzees are divided into four subspecies separated by geographic barriers like rivers. Previous studies attempting to understand chimpanzee population histories have been limited either by a poor ...
