Before I go shuffling off to do my own research, I too am curious about what the modern chimpanzee lineage looks like. I often think that it's misleading to put modern chimp skulls at the beginning of a series of hominid skulls leading chronologically up to modern humans. After all, aren't they just as evolved as we are? Do we have evidence that chimps have remained more or less stable in a single niche while we've gone off and diverged far more significantly from the common ancestor?
