Spring is here and the Cincinnati Zoo is full of new life, from frolicking bear cubs, to clingy primates, and oh, the not-so-huge manatee!

Day 3: Remaining on the topic of chimpanzees, it seems that among their many similarities to humans is also their ability to engage in organized warfare. I find the topic quite sad, so won't expand on it here, but if you'd like to know more, I'll leave the Wiki links to two prominent chimpanzee wars.

Day 2: It's likely that you've heard about Jane Goodall by now. She was a pioneer in studying the behavior of primates and demonstrated that chimpanzees share many traits with humans (like using tools or passing down knowledge from generation to generation). But did you know that she was also the first to assign names to chimps instead of numbering them? The latter was standard practice as it avoided anthropomorphizing the animals, so her decision to name them was highly controversial at the time. In the end, it worked out. To date, she remains the only human ever accepted into the chimp society.

🦧📉 Researchers at #Uganda’s #Kibale National Park tracked a decade-long conflict after a massive community of #chimpanzees divided. The study in the journal #Science documents how former social partners became rivals when their connecting social ties decayed.

#bonobos #chimpanzees #gender #aggression
"Despite their contrasting reputations, bonobos and chimpanzees show similar levels of aggression in zoos.
Chimpanzees have a reputation for being aggressive, while bonobos are often seen as their peaceful counterparts. This contrast has frequently been used to explain different sides of human nature. However, a new study by Utrecht University behavioural biologists Emile Bryon, Edwin van Leeuwen, Tom Roth and international colleagues shows that, in zoos, chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos. The study was published today in the scientific journal *Science Advances*.
The team of researchers compared the occurrence of aggressive behaviours in 22 zoo-housed groups of chimpanzees and bonobos. While no difference was found in overall aggression, the team did find that the two sister species differ in how the aggression is distributed. Bryon: 'In chimpanzees, aggression mainly comes from males and is directed at everyone. In bonobos, aggression comes from everyone but is mostly directed at males.'”

Probably they are influenced by their Human cousins. /s Although they are much less lethal.
The Guardian: *Wild chimpanzees recorded waging ‘civil war’ with coordinated attacks between two groups*
"New study describes what may be the first case of a unified community of chimps, in Uganda, turning on itself"
"On a June day in 2015, primatologist Aaron Sandel was quietly observing a small cluster of the Ngogo chimpanzee group in Uganda’s Kibale national park when he noticed something strange. As other members of the chimpanzees’ wider group moved closer through the forest, the chimpanzees in front of him began to display nervous behaviour. They grimaced and touched each other for reassurance, acting more like they were about to meet strangers than close companions.
In hindsight, Sandel said, that moment was the first sign of what would become a years-long bloody conflict between a once close-knit group of chimps. …"

World’s Largest Group of #Chimps Waging Deadly ‘Civil War,’ Scientists Discover
At least 24 #chimpanzees have been killed in a war that has split the Ngogo group of wild chimpanzees in two, turning former kin into enemies.
Though #JaneGoodal observed one example—Gombe #Chimpanzee War of 1970s, which resulted in 7 deaths—it’s estimated that these violent episodes occur only once every 500 years, based on genetic analyses of chimpanzee lineages.

This week's #NewBooks at the library: An eclectic trio!
- Just in time for my review of The Wake of HMS Challenger, I found a second-hand copy of At Sea with the Scientifics from the University of Hawaii Press, which collects Joseph Matkin's letters home.
- Look what you made me do, Jordan Sorcery! I tracked down a very affordable copy of Jack Yeovil's Krokodil Tears in his Dark Future series.

Researchers in #Africa and #SouthAmerica are studying how these different #primates evolved specialized muscles for everything from "one-armed pull-ups" to explosive jumps.

💋🐵 Researchers from the University of #Oxford analyzed kissing across multiple species to create an evolutionary family tree. Their study found that mouth-on-mouth contact likely originated in large #apes over 21 million years ago, with evidence that #Neanderthals and modern #humans also kissed and may have even kissed each other.

Wild #chimpanzees consume the equivalent of 2 #cocktails a day in the form of boozy #fruit, research finds
In the end, they found that on average, the fruit's #alcohol content came in at about .3% by weight. This is #kombucha-level, but when chimpanzees eat 10 pounds of fruit a day and weigh around 90 pounds, it adds up to about 14 grams of #ethanol, equating to about two cocktails for a human.

"According to thinktank Pew Research Center data from 2020, only 64% of #Americans accept that '#humans & other living things have evolved over time'. Meanwhile, 73% of #Britons are fine with the idea that they share a common ancestor with #chimpanzees." Why do so many Americans have such a hard time accepting basic #science, preferring #religious #fundamentalism, @GeraldKutney? This is a soil in which #climatechange denial flourishes.
