Where We Stand Field workers-scientists of animal (including
human!) behavior in nature-have long been fascinated by wild
chimpanzees. A person who once has studied wild chimpanzees will be
eager to observe them again. A person who has studied them twice
will make every effort to continue the study, unless prevented from
doing so. In short, behavioral primatology is addictive! Many
people, among them Jane Goodall, Richard Wrangham, and I, do not
regret that they have dedicated their whole lives to the study of
wild chimpanzees. This is because the apes' behavior is always
challenging: chimpanzees are cheerful, charming, playful, curious,
beautiful, easygoing, generous, tolerant, and trustw- thy most of
the time, but also are cautious, cunning, ugly, violent, ferocious,
blo- thirsty, greedy, and disloyal at other times. We human beings
share both the light and dark sides with our closest living
relatives. For decades, we have documented huge across-population
variation in behavior, as well as within-population variation.
Cultural biology (now called cultural pri- tology), as proposed 60
years ago by Kinji Imanishi, recently has flourished.
