Summary

The karyotype of the baboon (Papio papio) was studied using several staining techniques: Q bands, R bands, T bands, C bands, G 11.6 bands, and after incorporation of BrdU. When compared with the karyotypes of the Pongidae and of man, it appears that the quasi totality, if not the totality, of the chromosome bands are common, when the heterochromatin is exclude. Among the Pongidae, P. pygmaeus (orangutan) has the karyotype the closest to that of P. papio, differing by seven pericentric inversions, three complex rearrangements, and three fusions. By this intermediate stage, the origin of the human chromosomes may be retracted over several dozen million years.
