Abstract
Analysis of DNA polymorphisms was viewed as a new means of individual discrimination in studies of wild chimpanzees. DNA typing methodology was summarized for field primatologists, who often lack required knowledge of molecular biology, and expected impact of DNA typing on studies of wild chimpanzees was discussed. In particular, behavioral and social aspects were dealt with. A guide to noninvasive collection of samples in the field was appended.
