As our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees offer tantalizing
clues about the behavior of early human ancestors. This book
provides a rich and detailed portrait of chimpanzee social life in
the wild, synthesizing hundreds of thousands of hours of research
at seven long-term field sites. Why are the social lives of males
and females so different? Why do groups of males sometimes seek out
and kill neighboring individuals? Do chimpanzees cooperate when
they hunt monkeys? Is their vocal behaviour like human speech? Are
there different chimpanzee 'cultures'? Addressing these questions
and more, Adam Arcadi presents a fascinating introduction to the
chimpanzee social universe and the challenges we face in trying to
save this species from extinction. With extensive notes organized
by field site and an appendix describing field methods, this book
is indispensable for students, researchers, and anyone else
interested in the remarkable and complex world of these intelligent
apes.
