Chimpanzees Adapted to Local Habitats, Study Finds

Genetic Insights Shed Light on Chimpanzee Survival and Evolution

Chimpanzees, our closest relatives, live across diverse habitats in Africa, from dense tropical forests to open savannas. A recent study led by researchers at University College London (UCL) reveals that these populations have evolved genetic adaptations to their unique environments, including mechanisms that protect against diseases like malaria.
