This volume includes twelve novel empirical papers focusing on the
behaviour and cognition of both captive and wild bonobos (Pan
paniscus). As our species less known closest relative, the bonobo
has gone from being little studied to increasingly popular as a
species of focus over the past decade. Overall this volume
demonstrates how anyone interested in understanding humans or
chimpanzees must also know bonobos. Bonobos are not only equal to
chimpanzees as our relatives, but they are also unique. The
majority of papers in this volume show that whether you are
interested in the evolution of culture and tool use, social
relationships and sharing or foraging ecology and cognition,
bonobos have a major contribution to make. Four papers provide
further evidence that the behaviour and psychology of bonobo
females is radically different from that observed in chimpanzees.
Foraging behaviour and cognition of bonobos is the focus of three
papers that each show important ways that bonobos spatial cognition
differs remarkably from chimpanzees. Two papers are relevant to
solving the puzzle of why bonobos are expert extractive foragers in
captivity but have never been seen using tools to obtain food in
the wild. The articles presented in this volume are previously
published in a Special Issue of Behaviour, Volume 152, Parts 3-4
(March 2015).
