Title: Social ecology of Kanyawara chimpanzees: implications for understanding the costs of great ape groups
Abstract: Chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, and bonobos, Pan paniscus, differ greatly in their social relationships and psychology, as many chapters in this book show (e.g. Takahata et al., Chapter 11; de Waal, Chapter 12). Why they do so is not understood. Yet since these are the two closest relatives of humans, and since each species has a different set of similarities with humans, the question is especially important by virtue of its relevance to human behavior. Why, for instance, do humans and chimpanzees have similarly violent intergroup aggression? The answer will likely depend on understanding why bonobos do not.
