@primatology.netThe most solitary great ape, and yet Bornean orangutan mothers walked farther and fed less so their infants could play with peers, 15 years of tracking show. Whether it pays off is unknown. #Orangutan #Primatology #HumanEvolution www.primatology.net/p/32600-hour...
@norska11.bsky.social#Chimpanzees 🦍 #orangutans 🦧 and other #GreatApes have strong personalities and astonishingly may have midlife crises! Yet another reason to protect these wonderful beings. #Primatology #Boycottpalmoil 🌴🪔🤢☠️🔥🧐🚫 #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2022/03/13/d...
@primatology.netChimps at a Ugandan sanctuary stole pineapple in 70% of trials with non-friends but only 61% with friends, and thieves screamed less when robbing a friend. New study of 26 animals, 800 hours of observation. #Primatology #Chimpanzees #Evolution www.primatology.net/p/chimpanzee...
@garym6942.bsky.socialAmong primates, reconciliation quickly follows conflict. Among humans, the ego gets in the way: protecting one’s image often takes precedence over repairing social bonds. theconversation.com/why-monkeys-... via @laconversationca.bsky.social #primatology #biology #psychology #science #SciChat
@ilarimakela.bsky.socialChimpanzee teachers!
"We found that tool transfer constitutes a type of teaching in Dindefelo. Our results support the idea that teaching and facilitation, mainly from mothers, contribute to the acquisition of technological skills in immature chimpanzees."
@primatology.netMost of a young orangutan’s solo trial and error starts with watching. In a 12-year study of wild Sumatran orangutans, one bout of peering kept exploration elevated for about 145 minutes. #Primatology #Orangutans #AnimalCulture www.primatology.net/p/young-oran...

@evothan.bsky.socialA reflective post from John Hawks on grief in primates and early hominins. Chimp mothers have carried their dead infants for up to four months, a behavior seen in 40+ primate species. What might it tell us about how our ancestors grieved? #comparativethanatology #primatology

@en.nagoya-u.ac.jp🦍 🌍️ Happy World Gorilla Day! Gorillas are one of our closest living relatives. Swipe to learn more about the #mountaingorillas of Bwindi, Uganda, and the #NagoyaUniversity researcher studying how to protect them. #WorldGorillaDay #WildlifeConservation #Primatology🧪
@garym6942.bsky.socialResearchers recorded footage of wild chimps in Senegal showing youngsters how to use sticks to fish out ants & how to smash baobab fruit against rocks to open it. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/c... via @smithsonianmag.bsky.social #biology #Primatology #science #SciChat
@bjking.bsky.socialOperatic lemurs! #lemurs #primates #primatology #Anthropology #animalcommunication
@tmitchellbrown.bsky.socialScientists just found Madagascar’s singing lemurs belt like opera stars—literally.
Using face-tracking technology, the researchers found the lemurs use the same vocal technique as trained sopranos to send their calls vast distances through the thick jungle.

@aliceproietti.bsky.socialMy first SIE-API Congress! 🐒✨
So happy to have had the opportunity to present my research on token exchange in robust capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.), and to share these days with the ethology and primatology community.
@primatology.netAt Bossou, Guinea, a chimpanzee mother carried her dead infant for 68 days. A new analysis of 83 cases finds how long mothers carry can be explained without assuming they know death is final. #Primatology #Chimps #HumanEvolution www.primatology.net/p/why-chimpa...
@anthropology.netWild savanna chimps at Dindefelo rarely actively teach tool use: in 32 of 33 camera-trap tool transfers, learners initiated the handover. A new Frontiers in Psychology study offers key empirical data on the social learning roots of hominin technology.
@primatology.netCamera traps in Senegal filmed wild chimpanzees passing tools to one another 33 times, most often to infants, and in all but one case the recipient made the first move. #Primatology #Chimpanzees #AnimalBehavior www.primatology.net/p/wild-chimp...

@anthropology.netA 2025 study said two trained monkeys could keep a beat. A 2026 rebuttal says the data show tempo matching, not real synchronization, and three-day-old humans already beat them at it. #Primatology #AnimalCognition #Evolution www.anthropology.net/p/monkeys-ha...
