Genetic evidence for long-term population decline in a savannah-dwelling primate: inferences from a hierarchical bayesian model.

Abstract excerpt

The purpose of this study was to test for evidence that savannah baboons (Papio cynocephalus) underwent a population expansion in concert with a hypothesized expansion of African human and chimpanzee populations during the late Pleistocene.
