To help trace the origins of the human species, and potential links to other primates, CARTA researchers will begin digitizing and examining skeletal specimens and related medical records this summer from more than two dozen chimpanzees. All samples were collected in the course of routine medical care, or from chimpanzees who had died of natural causes.
