Baboons (genus Papio) are an interesting phylogeographical primate model for the
evolution of savanna species during the Pleistocene. Earlier studies, based on partial …

Baboons (Papio, ss) comprise a series of parapatric allotaxa (subspecies or closely related
species) widely distributed in sub‐Saharan Africa. Despite extensive studies of their …

Background Baboons of the genus Papio are distributed over wide ranges of Africa and
even colonized parts of the Arabian Peninsula. Traditionally, five phenotypically distinct …

Investigations into the evolutionary history of the common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes,
have produced inconsistent results due to differences in the types of molecular data …

Modern baboons evolved as a distinct lineage prior to 2.5 Mya. Previous scenarios of
diversification within this lineage have assessed the phylogenetic position of the chacma …

The origins and the divergence times of the most basal lineages within primates have been
difficult to resolve mainly due to the incomplete sampling of early fossil taxa. The main …

To gain insight into the patterns of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships within
and between bonobos and chimpanzees, we sequenced 150,000 base pairs of nuclear …

Species, as main evolutionary units have long been considered to be morphological entities
with limited hybridization potential. The occurrence of taxa which maintain morphological …

Abstract The origin of New World monkeys (Infraorder Platyrrhini) has been an extensively
debated issue. In this study, we analyzed mitochondrial genomes from Cebus (Platyrrhini) …

The evolution of the Old World monkey tribe Papionini, composed of macaques, baboons,
mandrills, drills, and mangabeys, was examined using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) …
