- Chimpanzees know. "Cooperation was strongest when the highest-ranking chimpanzee showed restraint, emphasising the importance of tolerant leadership." (Yes I'm here in the US implying what you think I'm implying geopolitically.) #chimpanzees #primates #animals #anthropology #leadership #cooperation

- Baby chimps take the biggest risks, not teens. A new study shows how early danger, falling bodies, and limited supervision shaped chimp behavior and may explain why humans delay risk until adolescence. #Anthropology #Evolution #Primatology #HumanOrigins www.primatology.net/p/when-baby-...
