Exciting news: we’ll be sharing our first findings on inventive agency in the wild!

We are delighted to share that the first results of the project’s initial research stage will be presented at two upcoming conferences this spring!

Animal inventiveness

🐒😤 New #research on chacma #baboons shows that older siblings often "throw tantrums" to interrupt their mother's grooming sessions with a younger brother or sister.

Even though they don't need the extra resources to survive, they seem to be competing for something more familiar: a little bit of attention.

I see Mozambique’s baboons as windows into hominid evolution

In Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, Rassina Farassi studies how humans came to walk on two legs.

Baboon Mother and Child. A human observer doesn't have to strain to completely understand and relate to this loving moment between a mother and her young child. I see my own children in this moment, when they would stop their world of play for the reassurance of a loving cuddle.

Finally watching season 12 of Alone, one of my favorite TV series. Boy howdy, baboons are pretty scary, seemingly more worrisome than bears. #alone #baboons
