Abstract
Genetic sequencing was conducted to determine that DNA sequence evolution in the germ line of humans and chimpanzees. The comparison of the orthogonal sequences on the human and chimpanzee sex chromosomes show that the ZFX region display 0.8% substitutional differences between the two species, while the ZFY region display 1.5% differences. However, insertions and deletions show no difference between the two regions. Phylogenetic analyses show the sequences from the different chimpanzee subspecies to be intermixed and the distance between some chimpanzee sequences to be greater than the distance between them and the bonobo sequences.
