	Chimpanzee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its cousin, the Bonobo or Pygmy Chimpanzee, Pan paniscus, is found in the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
		Chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 40 in the wild, but have been known to reach the age of 60 in captivity, although Tarzan star Cheeta is still alive as of 2006 at the age of 74.
		Common Chimpanzees have an omnivorous diet, a troop hunting culture based on beta males led by a relatively weak alpha, and highly complex social relationships; Bonobos, on the other hand, have a mostly herbivorous diet and an egalitarian, matriarchal, sexually promiscuous culture.

	Common Chimpanzee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eastern Chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, in the Central African Republic, the Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Zambia.
		Common Chimpanzees are found in the tropical forests and wet savannas of Western and Central Africa.
		The Common Chimpanzee lives in a fission-fusion society, where mating is promiscuous, and may be found in groups of the following types: all-male, adult females and offspring, bisexual, one female and her offspring, or a single individual.

	Chimpanzee - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Chimpanzee feet are better suited for walking than are those of the orangutan because the chimp’s soles are broader and the toes shorter.
		The chimpanzee is diurnal and omnivorous, eating about 200 kinds of leaves and fruit; termites, ants, honey, and birds’ eggs; and birds and small mammals.
		The greatest threats to chimpanzees are the continued loss of habitat to logging and agricultural development, and the hunting of chimps for export to zoos, for scientific research, and food.

	Chimpanzee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus) are considered our closest living relatives by a majority of the scientific community.
		Chimpanzees and bonobos can stand upright and are well adapted for arboreal activities where they do most of their feeding and sleeping.
		Chimpanzee diets are composed mainly of ripe fruits but vary according to the time of the year and abundance of specific food items.

		Chimpanzees rarely live past the age of 50 in the wild, but have been known to reach the age of 60 in captivity.
		Prior to 1960, almost nothing was known about chimpanzee behavior in their natural habitat, but in July of that year, Jane Goodall set out to Tanzania's Gombe forest to live among the chimpanzees.
		The fact that many chimpanzees have been taught to use hundreds of sign language words, and have sometimes passed on this knowledge to their offspring, indicates that "language" may not be such a major divider between humans and other hominids.

	Animal Portal - Chimpanzees
		Chimpanzees rely on the tropical forests of Africa for both food and shelter and are well adapted for a sylvan lifestyle as will be further discussed.
		According to meticulous observations, the average chimpanzee diet is composed of 25% leaves and leaf buds, 27% of other plant mass such as pith, seeds, blossoms, bark, and stems, and supplemented by the consumption of small prey.
		Chimpanzees have also been noted to eat small amounts of soil, which is hypothesized to provide necessary minerals and vitamins, such as halite and sodium chloride.

		There are thought to be 175,000 chimpanzees remaining in the wild but their numbers are reducing at an alarming rate as their habitats are being destroyed and the “bushmeat” trade increases.
		At the sanctuary, the chimpanzees are fed a variety of foodstuffs including fruit and vegetables, posho and millet porridge.
		On average, chimpanzees in the wild have their first babies when they are approximately 11-12 years of age.

		According to this method, the split of hominids from the common ancestor of chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans is determined to have occurred between 6.3-7.7 mya.

		Chimpanzees, on the other hand, may be able to attribute motives to others and therefore recognize that they won't be able to recruit allies on a regular basis using such ploys.

		Common chimpanzees inhabit the woodland savannas, grasslands, and rainforests of western and central Africa, including areas with elevations greater than 3000m (9843ft).
		Chimpanzees are one of only three primate species that hunt (the others being capuchins and humans).

		Both bonobos and common chimpanzees have been able to learn the meanings of many human words (although they cannot vocalize them), and they can be trained to communicate with humans by using sign language or symbol boards.

		Chimpanzees are about 3 to 5 feet tall and weigh from 99 to 176 pounds.
		The favorite food of chimpanzees are fruits and young leaves, but they like many different types of food.
		There may be as many as 35,000 chimps in the wild, but destruction of their habitats, hunting and commercial trapping for the animal trade had reduced their population.

	Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome : Nature
		Chimpanzees are thus especially suited to teach us about ourselves, both in terms of their similarities and differences with human.
		Because the chimpanzee lies at such a short evolutionary distance with respect to human, nearly all of the bases are identical by descent and sequences can be readily aligned except in recently derived, large repetitive regions.
		But the outliers are largely the same for both human and chimpanzee, indicating that the fraction of amino acid mutations that have contributed to human- and chimpanzee-specific patterns of evolution must be small relative to the fraction that have contributed to a common hominid and, to a large extent, mammalian pattern of evolution.

	Chimpanzee Information
		Most commonly referred to as the chimpanzee is Pan troglodytes, the Common Chimpanzee, living in West and Central Africa.
		Their common ancestor branched off from its latest common ancestor with us as recently as 4 to 7 million years ago, and they have 98 - 99.4% of their DNA in common with humans, which prompted biologist Jared Diamond to dub our species "the third chimpanzee".
		Some biologists believe that assigning chimpanzees to a different genus or even family than humans, a taxonomic division which Carolus Linnaeus instituted and later regretted, is an instance of anthropocentrism unjustified on biological grounds.

		Recent studies also indicate that the genetic difference between chimpanzees in west and east is as great as that between animals usually considered to be different species.
		Chimpanzees constitute the genus Pan, which includes two species, the common chimpanzee (species Pan troglodytes, the subject of this website) and the bonobo, sometimes called the pygmy chimpanzee (Pan paniscus).
		Chimpanzees' closest living relatives are humans (genus Homo), sharing a common ancestor 5-6 million years ago.

		The bonobo, despite its other name of pygmy chimpanzee, which should be abandoned, is not noticeably smaller than the common chimpanzee.
		By the same token, molecular evidence suggests that chimpanzees and bonobos are more closely related to humans than they are to gorillas.
		From this it follows that humans are exactly as close to gorillas as chimpanzees as bonobos are.

		To assess polymorphism and variation in human and chimpanzee NK complex genes, we determined the coding-region sequences for CD94 and NKG2A, C, D, E, and F from several human (Homo sapiens) donors and common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).
		The chimpanzee Pt-NKG2CI gene encodes a protein similar to human NKG2C, whereas in the chimpanzee Pt-NKG2CII gene the translation frame changes near the beginning of the carbohydrate recognition domain, causing premature termination.
		Seven different NK complex genotypes within the panel of 48 common chimpanzees were due to differences in Pt-NKG2C and Pt-NKG2D genes.
