News -04-30-07 Apes Point to Origins of Human Language (MSNBC News) "Our closest primate relatives, the bonobos and chimps, are more versatile when communicating with their hands, feet and limbs than with their facial expressions and voices." "The finding, detailed online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, supports the notion that humans were communicating with sign language long before they were speaking, an idea known as the 'gestural hypothesis.' " 04-07 -11-12-06 Self-Awareness in Animals (MSNBC News) "With one small gesture—reaching to touch the mark on his own face [when he saw it in the mirror] when he awakened—the chimp touched off a revolution not only in psychology, but philosophy as well. He saw himself." 11-06 Chimpanzee Genome and Human Evolution (Nature.com) "What makes us human? We share more than 98% of our DNA and almost all of our genes with our closest living relative, the chimpanzee. Comparing the genetic code of humans and chimps will allow the study of not only our similarities, but also the minute differences that set us apart." "Providing a resource for more than just genomics, Nature presents a special web focus to commemorate the genome of Pan troglodytes. Alongside the first unequivocal fossil evidence of the genus Pan, leading researchers have kindly supplied Nature with previously-unseen film of experiments and observations of chimps in the wild and from world-renowned sanctuaries." 8-05 Papers Chimpanzees (African Wildlife Foundation) Provides facts and a picture. "Chimps sometimes chew leaves to make them absorbent and then use them as a sponge, dipping them in water and sucking out the moisture." 1-01 Chimpanzees (Kids' Planet) Includes a description and a drawing. Chimpanzees (Oakland Zoo) Provides facts and a picture. "For sleeping at night, each chimp (except infants who nest with their mothers) constructs a nest of vegetation 9-12 meters high in a tree. They are one of the few mammals that manufacture and use "tools."

Visitors sometimes misspell as chimpanzes, chimpanses, or chimpansees. 5-02 Chimpanzees and Human Evolution (AmericanScientist.org) "Meat-eating by chimpanzees is much more substantial than was previously believed. The social consequences of hunting in chimpanzee society may have implications for the significance of meat in the diet of early human ancestors." 12-03 Study: Chimps More Similar to Humans than Apes (Astrobio.net) "The results also confirm that there is very little difference in the alignable regions of the human and chimp genomes. Taken together, the study's findings suggest that humans and chimps are more closely related to each other than the chimps are to the other great apes." " 'I think we can say that this study provides further support for the hypothesis that humans and chimpanzees should be in one genus, rather than two different genus' because we not only share extremely similar genomes, we share similar generation time,' said Yi." 02-06
