How-{\textless}br{\textgreater}ever, recent advances in noninvasive photographic monitoring of living, wild apes{\textless}br{\textgreater}have enabled researchers to characterize dental eruption in relatively healthy individ-{\textless}br{\textgreater}uals under naturalistic conditions. At present, such data are available for only one{\textless}br{\textgreater}population of wild chimpanzees. We report data for an additional population of wild{\textless}br{\textgreater}chimpanzees and the first dental eruption data for wild bonobos.{\textless}br{\textgreater}Materials and Methods: We collected photographs and video footage of teeth from{\textless}br{\textgreater}the open mouths of wild bonobos and East African chimpanzees of known age from{\textless}br{\textgreater}LuiKotale, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gombe National Park, Tanzania,{\textless}br{\textgreater}respectively. We scored the presence and absence of deciduous teeth from photo-{\textless}br{\textgreater}graphs and video footage to characterize deciduous dental eruption timing in these{\textless}br{\textgreater}two populations.{\textless}br{\textgreater}Results: Deciduous dental eruption ages in our sample fall within the range of varia-{\textless}br{\textgreater}tion previously documented for captive chimpanzees, but eruption ages are later in{\textless}br{\textgreater}wild than in captive contexts. We found substantial variation in deciduous canine{\textless}br{\textgreater}eruption timing, particularly among bonobos. One bonobo had a deciduous canine{\textless}br{\textgreater}present by 227 days old while another did not have a deciduous canine present at{\textless}br{\textgreater}477 days old.}}, journal = {{American Journal of Physical Anthropology}}, volume = {176}, number = {4}, pages = {684--691}, }
