Great ape societies
In addition to sharing a common ancestor only five million years ago, we share high intelligence, omnivorous diets, prolonged child-rearing and rich social lives with the Great Apes. This study draws on decades of international field work, zoo and laboratory studies for up-to-date syntheses of research.
