Chimpanzees and humans match on 1, 2p, 2q, 5, 7–10, 12, 16, and Y as well. Some older references include Y as a match among gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, but chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans have recently been found to share a large transposition from chromosome 1 to Y not found in other apes.

Koolakamba, legendary chimpanzee-gorilla hybrids; Bili ape, real-life ape with characteristics intermediate between chimpanzees and gorillas; Mangani, fictional ape with similar characteristics as the Bili ape from Tarzan; Hobo, a fictional chimpanzee-bonobo hybrid in the novel Wake; Humanzee, theoretical chimpanzee-human hybrid
The Koolakamba is believed to be larger, flatter-faced, larger-skulled and more bipedal than a chimp; though, it may also be a mutation. [4] [better source needed] According to DuChaillu (1861 and 1869), the physical characteristics described for Koolakamba include a short and broad pelvic structure, large supraorbital ridge, high zygomatic ridges, less prominent "muzzle", dentition in which ...
Sexual dimorphism can manifest itself in many different forms. In male and female primates there are obvious physical difference such as body size or canine size. Dimorphism can also be seen in skeletal features such as the shape of the pelvis or the robustness of the skeleton. [3] There are two mating systems in the sexual selection of primates.
Gorillas, which have a polygynous mating system, have smaller testes than other primates. Humans , which have a socially monogamous mating system , have moderately sized testes. [ citation needed ] The moderate amounts of sexual non-monogamy in humans may result in a low to moderate amount of sperm competition.
Scientists have documented what appear to be the first-ever lethal chimpanzee attacks against gorillas, according to a new study. Chimps documented attacking and killing gorillas in the wild for ...
Whereas a community of gorillas consists of one alpha male and two or three females; when the female gorillas are ready to mate, normally only the alpha male is their partner. Regarding sexual dimorphism among primates, humans fall into an intermediate group with moderate sex differences in body size but relatively large testes.
Standing upright behind ranger Mathieu Shamavu, the gorillas served nothing but face for the camera. That over the shoulder smize! That slight squat, just subtle enough to show off the gorilla's ...
