How do chimpanzees say, 'I want to have sex with you?' By clipping
a leaf or knocking on a tree trunk? How do they eat live aggressive
ants? By using a short stick with one hand or long stick with both?
Ivorian and Tanzanian chimpanzees answer these questions
differently, as would humans from France and China if asked how
they eat rice. Christophe Boesch takes readers into the lives of
chimpanzees from different African regions, highlighting the debate
about culture. His ethnography reveals how simple techniques have
evolved into complex ones, how teaching styles differ, how material
culture widens access to new food sources and how youngsters learn
culture. This journey reveals many parallels between humans and
chimpanzees and points to striking differences. Written in a vivid
and accessible style, Wild Cultures places the reader in social and
ecological contexts that shed light on our twin cultures.
