border=0></A> </STRONG><VARDEF id=TEXT><STRONG>Scientists at the
University of Chicago</STRONG> have undertaken a genetic analysis
of Oliver, a chimpanzee who in the 1970s gained notoriety as a
possible "missing link." They hope to settle once and for all
whether or not he's pure chimp.
<P>The 30-ish Oliver, 1.2 meters high and 50 kilograms, arrived
from Western Africa about 25 years ago. Impressed into the animal
show circuit, he caused viewers to marvel at his upright posture,
his small head-which, shaved, had an eerie humanoid quality-and
his unusually rank odor. It was said that he could cry, and could
not only mix drinks but spot when people needed refills. Other
chimps didn't seem to care for him, which added to his mystique.
<P>Oliver sank out of sight in the '80s, spending some unemployed
years at a Pennsylvania research animal supply company. Last
spring, he was retired to Primarily Primates, a reservation near
San Antonio, run by "primate rehabilitator" Wally Swett.
<P>Now Oliver is garnering a few more headlines thanks to Gordon
Gallup, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the State
University of New York, Albany, who says he's been fascinated by
the creature ever since he first read about him in 1976. Gallup
has arranged for medical geneticist David Ledbetter of the
University of Chicago to have a good look at Oliver's chromosomes
and find out if he's "nothing more than a mutant chimpanzee" or
something more interesting-a hitherto unknown combination of chimp
and bonobo (pygmy chimp), a brand-new subspecies-or, yes, even a
"humanzee."
<P>There have been vague reports that Oliver's chromosomes were
once counted in Japan and came to 47-exactly between the 46 for
humans and 48 for chimps-but Ledbetter says he has no doubt that
it will be 48: "Then the question will be is there any other
explanation for why he's unusual."
<P>Primatologist Steven Suomi of the National Institute for Child
Health and Human Development says Oliver doesn't sound like
anything special; rather, the reports of his small head and
high-pitched vocalizations are consistent with his being a bonobo.
But at least one expert-primatologist George Schaller, who
examined Oliver in 1976-has adjudged his unusual posture, which
includes standing with shoulders back and knees locked, to be
"well worthy of study." </VARDEF>
