scientists estimate that chimpanzee communities split, on average, every 500 years.
I'm just trying to grasp this part.
How the hell would they know that?
Genetic research, but also population density
quote:
Chimpanzee communities, which typically follow a fission-fusion social structure, may split every 500 years due to unsustainable social strain from large group sizes.
quote:
Genetic evidence suggests this pattern of monumental, violent division occurs rarely—roughly once every 500 years—rather than on a regular, short-term cycle.

"I would caution against anyone calling this a civil war," says Sandel. "But the polarization and collective violence that we have observed with these chimpanzees may give us insight into our own species."
quote:
The Gombe Chimpanzee War, also known as the Four-Year War, was a violent conflict between two communities of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in the Kigoma region of Tanzania between 1974 and 1978. The two groups were once unified in the Kasakela community. By 1974, researcher Jane Goodall noticed the community splintering. Over a span of eight months, a large party of chimpanzees separated themselves into the southern area of Kasakela and were renamed the Kahama community. The separatists consisted of six adult males, three adult females and their young. The Kasakela was left with eight adult males, twelve adult females and their young.
During the four-year conflict, all males of the Kahama community were killed, effectively disbanding the community. The victorious Kasakela then expanded into further territory but were later repelled by two other communities of chimpanzees.

So they say every 500 years.
There was a 4-year war in the 70’s.
Got it.

Interestingly, chimpanzees make up 13% of the great ape population.

Where are all the chimp social workers?

Are we sure this is Uganda? And not Houston, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson, Chicago, New Orleans, etc?
