来自科特迪瓦泰国家公园的 22 具未成熟骨骼的非凡收藏为确定已知年龄野生黑猩猩的牙齿萌出时间及其与骨骼融合和形态测量的相关性提供了难得的机会。未成熟的傣族黑猩猩与同一种群的成年傣族黑猩猩的比较表明，骨骼成熟的性别差异明显出现在幼年II阶段，即8岁左右。来自其他黑猩猩野外遗址的一些骨骼符合傣族黑猩猩的牙齿和骨骼生长。野生黑猩猩的生长速度与圈养个体的生长速度形成鲜明对比。圈养的黑猩猩可能会提前三年成熟。将身体发育与对未成熟黑猩猩的实地观察联系起来的能力增加了我们对其生活史阶段的了解。这些数据提供了一个改进的数据集，用于比较黑猩猩、智人和化石原始人之间的增长率。
An extraordinary collection of 22 immature skeletons from Tai National Park, Cote d'Ivoire, has provided a rare opportunity to establish the timing of dental eruption and its correlation with skeletal fusion and morphometrics in wild chimpanzees of known chronological ages. Comparison of the immature Tai chimpanzees Pan troglodytes verus with adults from the same population show that sex differences in skeletal maturation apparently appear during the Juvenile II stage, about age 8. A few skeletons from other chimpanzee field sites conform to the dental and skeletal growth in Tai chimpanzees. The tempo of wild chimpanzee growth contrasts sharply with the rate demonstrated for captive individuals. Captive chimpanzees may mature as much as 3 years earlier. The ability to link physical development with field observations of immature chimpanzees increases our understanding of their life-history stages. These data provide an improved dataset for comparing the rates of growth among chimpanzees, Homo sapiens and fossil hominids.
