L’enfant de Mezmaiskaya (Caucase) examiné dans une double perspective paléogénétique et paléoanthropologique by Véronique Barriel, Anne-Marie Tillier

“…The palaeogenetic interpretation is examined in the present article based on data available for modern humans (Anderson et al. 1981; HvrBase; http://www.hvrbase.de) and for three Middle Palaeolithic fossils from Germany (Feildhofer 1 and 2 ; Krings et al. 1997; Krings et al. 1999; Schmitz et al. 2002) and Croatia (Vindija-75-G3/h-203; Krings et al. 2000), which are attributed to the Neanderthal line and those of Pan paniscus and the four sub-species of Pan troglodytes (EMBL and GenBank). The question of the phylogenetic status of the Mezmaiskaya child is examined using both molecular analysis and anthropological arguments.…”

Bone mineral density in human femurs of documented age-at-death in a comparative context by Emmanuel Gilissen, Sarah Tayach, Rosine Orban

“…Finally, we placed the data in a broad comparative context by comparing human bone mineral content values with those obtained from chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Results indicate a degradation of bone mineral density during aging that is comparable to that of current Western reference populations. …”

La répartition des chimpanzés à Sebitoli (Parc National de Kibale, Ouganda): influence des facteurs naturels et anthropiques by Sarah Bortolamiol, Marianne Cohen, Milena Palibrk, Sabrina Krief

“…However, about a thousand Eastern Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) live in Kibale (795 km2), with a mean density of 2.2 individuals/km2, which is the highest chimpanzee density known in the world (Ugandan Wildlife Authority, 2005). …”

Disponibilité spatiale et temporelle des espèces alimentaires des chimpanzés et variations de densité inter-communautés dans le Parc national de Kibale (Ouganda) by Sarah Bortolamiol, Marianne Cohen, Protase Rwaburindore, John Kasenene, Andrew Seguya, Flora Pennec, Quentin Vignaud, Sabrina Krief

“…La densité des chimpanzés (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) dans le parc national de Kibale dans l’Ouest de l’Ouganda diffère selon les communautés (1,5 à 5,1 chimpanzés/km2 respectivement à Kanyawara et Ngogo) qui sont pourtant géographiquement proches les unes des autres (N=3 communautés distantes de 9 à 17 km). …”

Stratégies de manipulation d’outils lors de la tâche du labyrinthe chez les gorilles et les orangs-outans by Ameline Bardo, Emmanuelle Pouydebat

“…Cependant, les études dynamiques chez ces derniers sont rares et portent essentiellement sur les chimpanzés (Pan troglodytes). Il apparait nécessaire d’explorer les capacités manuelles chez différentes espèces de primates non-humains afin de mieux comprendre les spécificités de chaque espèce et l’évolution des capacités de manipulation d’objets ainsi que de discuter sous un nouvel angle l'émergence des éventuelles spécificités humaines. …”
