Delighted to announce Elihuruma Wilson Kimaro's first paper from his dissertation research, demonstrating forest regeneration in the village land forest reserves around Gombe! @jennifer_pow @LilianPintea @LilianPintea @JaneGoodall https://t.co/GJoIiIm6MS

Our failure to reproduce Anderson et al (2023), The Myth of Man the Hunter, an effort led by @vivek_vasi, is now published: https://t.co/dSyd1xegio

Here's the Mongabay's take on @MaudMouginot et al.'s piece on aggression in bonobos and chimpanzees:

Here's The Guardian's take on @MaudMouginot et al.'s paper on aggression in chimpanzees and bonobos @kokolopori :

France24 also interviwed @MaudMouginot about aggressive bonobos

New paper with @kokolopori and @ngogochimps in @PNASNews – https://t.co/GhNWwzyrwn - Kokolopori bonobos maintain clear and distinct social identities despite peacefully hanging out together for days and weeks at a time!! (1/n)

New York Times piece on @MaudMouginot's comparison of aggression among Gombe chimpanzees and @kokolopori bonobos:

My latest story for @NatGeo explores why bonobo males, surprisingly, are more often aggressive to other males than chimpanzee males are, featuring @MaudMouginot, @MikeLWilson1871 and Martin Surbeck (@kokolopori).

When @MaudMouginot started on this collaboration with Martin Surbeck @kokolopori, we thought it would just confirm what everyone already knew: male bonobos are less aggressive than chimpanzees. Instead we found more frequent aggression by male bonobos:

Holy shit. A lot of wild stuff in this new bird phylogeny. Most notably, their radiation of modern birds is completely unrelated to the KPg mass extinction.

Things that Darwin hated, a 🧵 To Charles Lyell, 1st Oct 1861 But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything. One lives only to make blunders.— I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids & today I hate them worse than everything

"2019). If multilevel societies originated early in human evolution, then the capacity for interacting peacefully across a range of social groupings would be an ancient trait of hominins (Wilson & Glowacki, 2017)." 25/25

"Agent-based modeling supports the hypothesis that when females forage in smaller groups, males can sire more offspring by monitoring and monopolizing access to a few females, rather than constantly searching for fertile females in the population at large (Crouse et al..." 24/25

"Second, in open habitats, sleeping sites safe from predators are scarce, limited to cliffs and groves of tall trees. Such sleeping sites serve as gathering points for subgroups that disperse throughout the day to forage." 23/25

"The multilevel societies of geladas and hamadryas baboons may depend on two key factors. First, sparse and seasonally variable food supplies prevent individuals from foraging in large groups year-round; instead, in some seasons, individuals must forage in smaller groups." 22/25

"Glowacki notes that humans are “members of multiple social groups simultaneously with overlapping nonexclusive boundaries” (target article, Introduction, para. 3), which makes it difficult to define the boundaries of our groups." 21/25

"Glowacki notes that humans are “members of multiple social groups simultaneously with overlapping nonexclusive boundaries” (target article, Introduction, para. 3), which makes it difficult to define the boundaries of our groups." 20/25

"At least two key preconditions likely have a long history in hominin evolution: Multilevel social organization and collective foraging, which promotes a psychology of sharing and exchange." 19/25

"Glowacki claims that “the preconditions for peace only emerged in the past 100 thousand years” (target article, Abstract). While key cultural tools for building peace likely did arise recently, I propose that the roots of peace extend much deeper than that." 18/25

"But were these the first such interactions? And why did humans, but not other primates, evolve this capacity?" 17/25
