Chimpanzee groups show that bigger can be better for sharing. New experiments reveal that tolerant groups with restrained leaders sustain shared resources longer, offering clues to the deep evolutionary roots of cooperation. #Primatology #HumanEvolution #Cooperation #BehavioralEcology https://www.primatology.net/p/when-sharing-becomes-survival-how
When Sharing Becomes Survival: How Chimpanzee Groups Solve Resource Dilemmas

New experiments reveal that larger, more tolerant chimpanzee groups manage shared resources more sustainably, offering fresh insight into the evolutionary roots of cooperation.

How Parrots Make Friends

"A new study reports that parrots who are strangers to each other “test the waters” by forming new relationships through a series of increasingly friendly interactions that are much like developing friendships in humans."

New research in northern Chile reveals 76 ancient stone traps used to hunt vicuña across the high Andean valleys. These “tethered landscapes” show how mobility, cooperation, and ecology shaped Andean lifeways. #Archaeology #Andes #BehavioralEcology #Pleistocene https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-tethered-highlands-ancient-hunting
The Tethered Highlands: Ancient Hunting Landscapes and Human Mobility in the Andean West

A vast network of stone traps & ephemeral dwellings reveals how ancient hunters moved with their prey across the high-altitude deserts of northern Chile, long after agriculture had taken root.
