She also tried to convince herself they were good primates that dindu nuffin; meanwhile they have an extremely tight dominance-hierarchy that is exceptionally brutal.
She tried to hide that for a long time.

>Frodo's aggression was not limited to Colobus monkeys and other chimpanzees. In May 2002, he killed a 14-month-old human baby that the niece of a member of the research team had carried into his territory.[43] As a result, the Tanzanian National Parks Department considered killing Frodo.[43] In 1988, he attacked cartoonist Gary Larson, leaving him bruised and scratched.[43] In 1989, he attacked Goodall, beating her head to the point of nearly breaking her neck.

>For several years I struggled to come to terms with this new knowledge. Often when I woke in the night, horrific pictures sprang unbidden to my mind—Satan [one of the apes], cupping his hand below Sniff's chin to drink the blood that welled from a great wound on his face; old Rodolf, usually so benign, standing upright to hurl a four-pound rock at Godi's prostrate body; Jomeo tearing a strip of skin from Dé's thigh; Figan, charging and hitting, again and again, the stricken, quivering body of Goliath, one of his childhood heroes.

Bonobos mainly live in the Congo Basin, an area which wasn't really the safest place to be during Jane Goodall's research.
Also, obligatory Kanzi and Panibisha image, smart chimps but almost fucking comedic how obese they are.
>>1904240
I wonder what's going through their head when they see a human. They're intelligent enough to understand on some level that we're closely related.
>>1904240
Literally looks like downs syndrome chimp
>>1902692
Humans actually have the largest dick size out of most primates. Humans have the largest girth I believe, but Bonobos and Chimpanzees are comparable in length.
However, Chimpanzees have, hands down, the largest testicles. Seriously, chimp balls are fucking huge (probably some correlation with aggression kek).
>>1904240
>smart chimps but almost fucking comedic how obese they are
>They're from Georgia

Actually, it's quite a fascinating topic, sadly not much research was done past the 60's and 70's due to ethical issues, and the fact that the great apes have long life spans.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_ape_language
In particular:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washoe_(chimpanzee)
>When Washoe was shown an image of herself in the mirror, and asked what she was seeing, she replied: "Me, Washoe".Primate expert Jane Goodall, who has studied and lived with chimpanzees for decades, believes that this might indicate some level of self awareness. Washoe appeared to experience an identity crisis when she was first introduced to other chimpanzees, seeming shocked to learn that she was not human. She gradually came to enjoy associating with other chimps.

They need to mate multiple times because their (alpha) female copulate several times in heat to obfuscate fatherhood. When demand is high, you need more expand your factory.
>>1904288
Ah, thanks for the clarification. Interestingly enough, I've read a similar mechanism exists in humans. Women apparently obfuscate fatherhood (for a variety of reasons, like reduced infanticide) by lacking a detectable estrus period. I personally thought it might be related to adaptability, but whatever.

"Animal language" is one subject wikipedia has always done poor in. There are numerous criticisms of these studies, which are usually carried out by animal psychologists and not linguists.
>>1903988
Chimps seem to act like exactly like black people.

fascinating idea
What I can't seem to understand is that chimps are highly empathetic and intelligent and can be altruistic, yet they can be ridiculously violent to their own community, friends, and relatives. It's strange how they possess two opposite set of traits together. I wonder if you raised a community of apes in a post-scarcity environment with plenty of women for the men if they would become less and less aggressive and eventually drop any hierarchy.
>you will never conduct gorilla warfare in a band of chimp warriors
feels bad man
>>1905536
>What I can't seem to understand is that chimps are highly empathetic and intelligent and can be altruistic, yet they can be ridiculously violent to their own community, friends, and relatives.
this sounds sorta familiar don't it
>>1905750
it doesn't
true altruism has never been observed in animals it always revolves around the "something for something" principle
though I guess you can say that applies to humans just as much...
well fuck we really are just primitive monkey people aren't we?

Once saw footage of chimps going to war, can't remember the doc but it was like some CIA shit
They snuck up on them, had hand signals during the stalking to minimise noise and organise everyone, it was amazing
>>1907465
Fuck that, I remember seeing in a doc of them eating each other with one chimp having an infant's arm between its teeth.

>>1908477
My friend, you would be surprised.
Interesting how there might be an instinctual basis for cuckoldry, of course people wouldn't want to admit that.
>The killer ape theory or killer ape hypothesis is the theory that war and interpersonal aggression was the driving force behind human evolution. It was originated by Raymond Dart in the 1950s; later it was developed further in African Genesis by Robert Ardrey in 1961. According to the theory, the ancestors of humans were distinguished from other primate species by their greater aggressiveness and this aggression remains within humanity, which retains many murderous instincts. The theory gained notoriety for suggesting that the urge to do violence was a fundamental part of human psychology. The hunting hypothesis is often associated with the theory, because of similarities and because Robert Ardrey has developed both.
Guess this bloke was on to something after all.
>>1903988

I love how they actually get such clear shots of it all happening. I imagine some terrified cameraman shitting his pants while following the little platoon of chimps to battle.

>>1903988
JUSTICE FOR FRODO! He was a good boy!!
The Kalande did the Kahama genocide. Kalande agents within the Kaskela fabricated the conflict to gain Kahaman territory. The unsustainable way of Kalande life fueled by the banana-industrial complex calls for continous expansion of territory but due to unstable internal affairs direct conflict with the Kahama could result in opposition to the Kalande elite.
>>1903988
>He was then defeated by a coalition of several males and spent most of the next two years on his own recovering from his wounds and illness. He received antibiotics from the researchers, which may have helped his recovery.
Why the fuck would they help this thing? The researchers are really retarded, I understand they want to keep the community alive for study but to interfere with the natural process to such an extent, helping a monkey that was clearly an overly aggressive tyrant that deserved to die, it just seems really foolish and counter-productive if you are attempting to study the natural social workings of a community of apes.
>>1904427
>m-muh extenuating circumstances
>>1904427
I seriously doubt they would perform a study like this with an unhealthy, malnourished child but maybe I'm overestimating the intelligence of psychologists.
>>1910807
>Why the fuck would they help this thing?
My guess (with absolutely no evidence or knowledge of the topic at all beyond "Lol the monkeys had a war") is that they gave him antibiotics so he wouldn't infect any other apes and kill the entire community with disease.

Remember the six. People always spout that, but it really undermines the scope of the Kasakela war crimes. The six were just the active, able-bodies servicechimps, but what of the women and children? They were often murdered just like the men, as well as beaten, kidnapped, and raped.

Oh God no i just realized what has happened.
>>1909095
Cold blooded sociopathy does seem like it would be evolutionarily benoficial
>>1913679
It's not, and the killer ape theory is nonsense. Humans are so advanced precisely because they peacefully work together and cooperate. Like all animals, humans fight against competitors, but they're not nearly as aggressive as chimpanzees. Even looking at the ridiculous diversity of ideals and behaviors in past and present human societies makes it pretty impossible to cordon human behavior into a neat category.
>>1905759

I think it's that tool usage just made violence a lot more effective than it had previously been, rivals could so easily kill each other with a rock or a spear. And who knows what you could have accomplished with fire. I think this made violence much more effective than it had previously been and also more destructive.
