More like us than not: Chimpanzees have different cultures, too

August 21, 2019 -

While the jury's still out on how such a small difference can result in two distinct organisms, German scientists recently found a striking similarity between the humans and chimps when it comes to social behavior. In their findings published in Primatologica, the team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology presented a detailed account of a new “behavioral realm” in Eastern chimpanzees (P. t. schweinfurthii) in DR Congo. The researchers noted discrete ...

Scientists say chimpanzees use language that follows rules similar to ours

June 03, 2019 -

The finding illustrates not only the intelligence of chimpanzees, but the fact that we humans are not as "alone" on this planet as we like to think we are. If chimpanzees could talk, they would probably have a lot to say about what we have done to them and their environment -- as virtually every other species on the planet would.Chimpanzee language mirrors humans

Wild chimpanzees share boozy fermented fruit in first evidence of primate “social drinking”

April 22, 2025 -

For the first time, scientists have documented wild chimpanzees deliberately sharing fermented fruit containing alcohol in a discovery that suggests the roots of human social drinking may stretch back millions of years.

The groundbreaking observations, published in Current Biology, reveal chimps in Guinea-Bissau’s Cantanhez National Park selecting and passing around naturally fermented African breadfruit with alcohol content up to 0.61% ...

Chimpanzees found to accumulate and transfer cultural knowledge from one generation to the next

July 29, 2017 -

In the study that was conducted by University of St. Andrews School of Psychology and Neuroscience professor Andrew Whiten and his colleagues from the University of Texas and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, chimpanzees were given juice in a large container and a piece of straw that was outside their enclosure. The chimpanzees in the control group who were presented with these items failed to conceptualize what they needed to do in order to get the ...

Chimpanzees observed by scientists are changing their hunting behavior because they know they’re being watched

June 27, 2017 - chimpanzees in the Waibira community — who have been studied for just six years — get used to the presence of people in their natural habitat. “[For] Waibira – some of the young ones have started to grow up and become very comfortable with us, but some of the adults would be 30-40 years old when we started, and five years of us following them round is a fraction of their lifetime.”

The Sonso community were observed to hunt black and white colobus monkeys. The carcasses ...

Anthrax may wipe out chimpanzees; it is a widespread and persistent cause of death for rainforest mammals

December 06, 2017 -

The study was conducted by scientists and researchers from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, University of Glasgow and the Ivorian National Animal Health Institute. Their study involved the analysis of bone and tissue samples collected over 28 years from the mammal carcasses in the park. Carrion fly stomachs were examined and found to carry the anthrax pathogen, and provided clues as to what areas and what species could be ...

Even chimpanzees want to be free: Scientists stunned as chimps murder their own tyrannical leader (then eat him)

February 08, 2017 -

At the end of the day, humans want to be treated with dignity, love, and respect. No human being wants to be led by a tyrant. Throughout history, humans’ desire for freedom has always found a way to stamp out tyranny.

The same can now be said for chimpanzees. A coalition of male chimps recently took matters into their own hands when an alpha chimp persistently tried to rule over them. A coalition of freedom-fighting chimps viciously murdered their ex-leader....

It’s part of how society works: Study finds children and chimpanzees WANT justified punishments for antisocial people – does this explain our polarized politics?

January 20, 2019 - chimpanzees. Two zookeepers played social and antisocial roles, giving them food and taking it away respectively. Another person pretended to beat the two zookeepers using a stick. Many of the chimpanzees went out of their way to watch the antisocial zookeeper be punished, opening a heavy door to get a view of it. However, they showed no interest in this option when the friendly zookeeper was harmed and protested strongly when the zookeeper was punished in their ...

Yes, they’re conscious: Chimpanzee learns how to play paper, scissors, rock with a human child

September 05, 2017 - chimpanzees of different ages and sexes were housed in the Primate Research Institute at the Kyoto University. They were then placed in a booth that had a touchscreen where they were trained on the paper-rock, rock-scissors, and scissors-paper combinations. Once the researchers felt that the chimps understood all three winning pairs, different combinations were randomly presented on the screen. Five of seven chimpanzees were able to complete the training after ...

Did you know that monkey-eating chimps that hunt baby monkeys devour the brain first? This might give us a clue to our own evolution

June 12, 2018 -

This was the conclusion that was reached by a team of researchers at Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. According to LiveScience.com, the researchers documented 29 red colobus monkey attacks that were carried out by eight different chimpanzees. In all cases where the captured monkey was a juvenile, the chimpanzee was observed biting and pulling on the head as if to separate it from the body. Moreover, there were two instances where the chimpanzee appeared to be sucking ...

Human hearts evolved for endurance due to shift from hunting to farming and a modern lifestyle

September 08, 2020 - chimpanzees tend to spend a lot of time sleeping or being relatively inactive, they are prone to exhibiting short bursts of physical activity.

“With chimpanzees, it's very quiet and calm, and then you have high bursts of very, very intense physical activity," Shave said, noting that this puts intense pressure on the chimps’ hearts, albeit for short amounts of time.
