Description
The New Chimpanzee: A Twenty-First-Century Portrait of Our Closest Kin
Recent discoveries about wild chimpanzees have dramatically reshaped our understanding of these great apes and their kinship with humans. We now know that chimpanzees not only share genomes similar to our own but also exhibit complex social behaviors, including political coups, territorial wars, cultural traditions, and strategic resource management.
This book challenges us to consider the implications of ape behavior for our understanding of human sociality. With extensive observations of chimpanzee behavior and social dynamics, Craig Stanford sheds new light on aggression, communication, and the divergence of humans and apes from a common ancestor. The result is a nuanced portrait of a complex and surprisingly humanlike species.
