Summary

The electrophoretic mobilities of serum enzymes and other proteins were investigated at 35 loci in 25 unrelated individuals of the chimpanzee Pan troglodytes. In this population the mean average of individual polymorphism is \(\bar P\)=0181, and the average level of heterozygoty \(\bar H\)=0.022. The same pattern of individual variability is found in Pan troglodytes and Homo sapiens.
