Subspecies composition and founder contribution of the captive U.S. chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) population.

American journal of primatology - 1 Oct 2005

Abstract excerpt

Chimpanzees are presently classified into three subspecies: Pan troglodytes verus from west Africa, P.t. troglodytes from central Africa, and P.t. schweinfurthii from east Africa. A fourth subspecies (P.t. vellerosus), from Cameroon and northern Nigeria, has been proposed. These taxonomic designations are based on geographical origins and are reflected in sequence variation in the first hypervariable region...
