Human beings and non human primates show similarities in the non coding DNA range too, but up to now there are only a few data. This paper presents first results of a study dealing with a larger spectrum of species and individuals, considering the genetic marker HLA-DQA1, LDLR, GYPA, HBGG, D7S8, GC (partionally coding) and VWA, FES, F13B, TH01, CD4, FGA (not coding). The results show that not only the apes can be typed but also Macaca sylvanus as a member of the Cercopithecoidea. In contrast to earlier publications there is an unexpected larger similarity between the allele ranges of the apes studied and those of human beings.
