Chimpanzee data are from this study; only the fecal DNA data were considered. Only sites with read coverage sufficient for SNP identification across all samples were analyzed. Human nuclear data are from Wall et al. (2008). Human mitochondrial data (for corresponding populations with n ≥ 4) are from Kivisild et al. (2006), for which population samples were chosen without prior knowledge of mitochondrial haplotype. The chimpanzee complete mitochondrial genome sequences were trimmed to the orthologous region for which sequences were available for the human samples.
