With the release of the chimpanzee genomic database, much work has been accomplished to understand more fully the closest related species to humans. This study investigates the cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) subfamily and examines differences which may be expected between chimpanzees and humans in ...
Genetically speaking, chimpanzees are the closest cousins to humans in the animal kingdom. Despite our similarities, humans are putting tremendous pressure on chimpanzee populations. Between 172,700 and 299,700 chimps are left in the forests of Central Africa. The highly social apes have already be...
Sexual size dimorphism has motivated a large body of research on mammalian mating strategies and sexual selection. Despite some contrary evidence, the narrative that larger males are the norm in mammals—upheld since Darwin’s Descent of Man—still domin

1 It’s obvious that humans are fundamentally different from other animal species. It’s not so easy, though, to identify the traits that make human beings so special. Scientists realized long ago that other animals make tools, play jokes and even have a sense of justice and altruism—all ...
introduced through humans.(外来物种不是自然地出现在某一特定地区,而是通过人类引入的物种)”及第五段“The research team also discovered that protected regions that contain more invasive animal species experience a more significant influence or presence of humans, otherwise known as the human footprint ...
“It is not possible to determine when the dogs began to have a relationship with humans from the genome data,” Terai says. For this, archaeological evidence is required. The genomes also show that after the initial split, there was some interbreeding between the Japanese wolf lin...
aWhy do humans, virtually alone among all animal species, display a distinct left or right handedness? Not even our closest relatives among the apes possess such decided lateral asymmetry, as psychologists call it. Yet about 90 per cent of every human population that has ever lived appears to...
Humans' two closest primate living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, differ behaviorally, cognitively, and emotionally in several ways despite their general similarities. While bonobos show more affiliative behaviors towards conspecifics, chimpanzees display more overt and severe aggression against conspecifics...
Species that have been translocated and otherwise manipulated by humans may show patterns of population structure that reflect those interactions. At the same time, natural processes shape populations, including behavioural characteristics like dispersal
