Paternity and relatedness in wild chimpanzee communities.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Nov 2001

Vigilant L, Hofreiter M, Siedel H, Boesch C

Abstract excerpt

The genetic structure of three contiguous wild chimpanzee communities in West Africa was examined to determine the extent to which the community, the mixed-sex social unit of chimpanzees, represents a closed reproductive unit. An analysis of paternity for 41 offspring resulted in 34 cases of paternity assignment to an adult male belonging to the same community. Among the 14 offspring for which all potential...
