The study of the chimpanzee, one of the human species' closest
relatives, has led scientists to exciting discoveries about
evolution, behavior, and cognition over the past half century. In
this book, rising and veteran scholars take a fascinating
comparative approach to the culture, behavior, and cognition of
both wild and captive chimpanzees. By seeking new perspectives in
how the chimpanzee compares to other species, the scientists
featured offer a richer understanding of the ways in which
chimpanzees' unique experiences shape their behavior. They also
demonstrate how different methodologies provide different insights,
how various cultural experiences influence our perspectives of
chimpanzees, and how different ecologies in which chimpanzees live
affect how they express themselves. After a foreword by Jane
Goodall, the book features sections that examine chimpanzee life
histories and developmental milestones, behavior, methods of study,
animal communication, cooperation, communication, and tool use. The
book ends with chapters that consider how we can apply contemporary
knowledge of chimpanzees to enhance their care and conservation.
Collectively, these chapters remind us of the importance of
considering the social, ecological, and cognitive context of
chimpanzee behavior, and how these contexts shape our comprehension
of chimpanzees. Only by leveraging these powerful perspectives do
we stand a chance at improving how we understand, care for, and
protect this species.
