Siberian University's Rector PhD Silvio Parmaggiano and Parasite Islands' Prime Minister, Mr. Aron Swindlersohn undersigned a long term scientific co-operation contract to start genetic studies with the islands' endemic and rare, baby-chimpanzee race (Pan minutus). It is smaller than the African Bonobo chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) and weighs between 15-25 kg. The average chimpanzee(Pan troglodytes) shares with us (humans) about 97 % of the genes, but this ape race comes up to 99%. It's behavior has many similarities with human, like jealousy, stealing,crying and collecting colorful feathers and stones.
In first hand the study concentrates to localize the chromosome which is controlling stealing and collecting behavior, and then compare the results with human genes.
Several professionals is thinking that also stealing behavior can be a chromosome mutation.
The faculty will have it's campus in Chicciolina on Vendetta Island, where this endemic chimpanzee race lives.
