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 have genomes
similar to our own but also plot political coups, wage wars over
territory, pass on cultural traditions to younger generations, and
ruthlessly strategize for resources, including sexual partners. In
The New Chimpanzee, Craig Stanford challenges us to let apes guide
our inquiry into what it means to be human. With wit and lucidity,
Stanford explains what the past two decades of chimpanzee field
research has taught us about the origins of human social behavior,
the nature of aggression and communication, and the divergence of
humans and apes from a common ancestor. Drawing on his extensive
observations of chimpanzee behavior and social dynamics, Stanford
adds to our knowledge of chimpanzees' political intelligence,
sexual power plays, violent ambition, cultural diversity, and
adaptability. The New Chimpanzee portrays a complex and even more
humanlike ape than the one Jane Goodall popularized more than a
half century ago. It also sounds an urgent call for the protection
of our nearest relatives at a moment when their survival is at
risk.
