Environmental variability supports chimpanzee behavioural diversity.

Ammie K. Kalan, +74 more
TL;DR: It is shown that chimpanzees exhibit greater behavioural diversity in environments with more variability — in both recent and historical timescales, suggesting that environmental variability was a critical evolutionary force promoting the behavioural, as well as cultural diversification of great apes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing

Hjalmar S. Kühl, +82 more
- 29 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The ritualized behavioural display and collection of artefacts at particular locations observed in chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing may have implications for the inferences that can be drawn from archaeological stone assemblages and the origins of ritual sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human impact erodes chimpanzee behavioral diversity

Hjalmar S. Kühl, +81 more
- 29 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: The results support the view that “culturally significant units” should be integrated into wildlife conservation and show that chimpanzees inhabiting areas with high human impact have a mean probability of occurrence reduced by 88%, across all behaviors, compared to low-impact areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nocturnal activity in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes): Evidence for flexible sleeping patterns and insights into human evolution.

TL;DR: Chimpanzee terrestrial nocturnal activity appears widespread yet infrequent, which suggests a consolidated sleeping pattern, and it is suggested that chimpanzee noCTurnal activity is flexible, enabling them to respond to changing environmental factors.
