DNA sequences for the chimpanzee, orangutans and more will help scientists to determine what sets humans apart from other ...

Differences among the DNA of seven ape species—including humans—are greater than originally thought, according to an ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Human activities such as agriculture, logging, and urbanization are increasingly encroaching on the habitats of great apes.

Despite startling breakthroughs, the first words and signs of great apes are rarely publicly celebrated by scientists.

The study found that the most common ways apes adapted to habitat change included foraging for human crops, changing nesting patterns, and traveling along human-made paths. These changes can help ...

The resource is already lending itself to comparative studies that offer new insights into human and ape evolution, and into what underlies the functional differences among these species.

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have recently successfully sequenced the complete genomes of six ...

Differences among the DNA of seven ape species—including humans—are greater than originally thought, according to an international team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human ...
