Bonobos, human’s closest relatives, are classified as an endangered species. Groundbreaking research suggests their vulnerability might be even more severe than previously thought. In a first-of-its-kind study published in Current Biology, scientists conducted an in-depth analysis of the species’ genetic structure to determine variations within and between bonobo (Pan paniscus) populations. They found that the … Continue reading Study finds bonobos more diverse, and more vulnerable, than previously thought
