A way to better appreciate the complex human brain evolution relies on comparative investigations with homologous species. We present here the superficial connectivity organization of the Chimpanzee brain using a combination of image processing and DBSCAN clustering analyzes obtained from 39 chimpanzees DTI scans. The results revealed the presence of U-fiber, V-fiber and Curved-fiber shapes already identified in Human superficial fiber connectivity studies. This non-negligeable short fibers organisation resemblance between Chimpanzees and Humans, brings out new perspectives on hominid brain singularity knowledge.
