We have determined the degree of single‐copy DNA divergence among the extant members
of the Hominoidea employing the technique of DNA‐DNA hybridization. The species studied …

To study the genomic divergences among hominoids and to estimate the effective
population size of the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees, we selected 53 …

Pangolins, considered the most-trafficked mammals on Earth, are rapidly heading to
extinction. Eight extant species of these African and Asian scale-bodied anteaters are …

The term hominid refers to the members of Hominidae. This family, as usually defined, has
only one extant member, our own species Homo sapiens. In turn, the large sized apes …

Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) diverged into distinct species
approximately 1.7 million years ago when the ancestors of modern‐day bonobo populations …

Orangutans (genus Pongo) represent the extreme of many biological para" rneters. Among
mammals they have the longest interbirth interval (up to 9 years) and are the largest of those …

The evolutionary history and palaeoecology of orangutans remains poorly understood until
today. The restricted geographic distribution of extant Pongo indicates specific ecological …

The endangered great ape, Pan paniscus (bonobo) has the smallest range of the African
apes. Virtually nothing is known about the genetic diversity or genetic structure of this …

Relatively little is known about the evolutionary and demographic histories of gorillas, one of
our closest living relatives. In this study, we used samples from both western (Gorilla gorilla) …

The phylogenetic relationships among the genera of the tribe Papionini are inferred using a
taxonomic congruence approach in which gene trees derived for eight unlinked genetic …
