The ape in the picture had features that seemed to belong to both the gorilla and the chimpanzee. [5] Scientifically, it has not been determined if the Koolakamba is a subspecies of chimpanzee, a gorilla-chimpanzee hybrid, or perhaps simply a product of individual variation. Yerkes reported several "unclassifiable apes" with features ...
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.

Studies show modern women tend to fall for guys with Neanderthal-like facial features, which explains why Brad Pitt is such an international heartthrob. Now ladies in Japan are taking this ...
The position of swellings can heavily influence the location of male focus during courtship, and of eventual penetrance. Among chimpanzees, bonobos, baboons, and many Old World monkey species, it is common for swellings to concentrate in the perineal, perianal, and coccygeal regions, rather than more ventrally in the area of the vulva.

Animal non-reproductive sexual behavior encompasses sexual activities that non-human animals participate in which do not lead to the reproduction of the species. Although procreation continues to be the primary explanation for sexual behavior in animals, recent observations on animal behavior have given alternative reasons for the engagement in sexual activities by animals.

Researchers observed chimpanzees in Taï National Park and concluded that a form of prostitution exists among the chimpanzees in which females offer sex to males in exchange for meat. According to Cristina Gomes of the Institute, the study "strongly suggests that wild chimpanzees exchange meat for sex and do so on a long-term basis".
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.
