Cultures in chimpanzees
Andrew Whiten,Jane Goodall,William C. McGrew,Toshisada Nishida,Vernon Reynolds,Yukimaru Sugiyama,Caroline E. G. Tutin,Richard W. Wrangham,Christophe Boesch +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that 39 different behaviour patterns, including tool usage, grooming and courtship behaviours, are customary or habitual in some communities but are absent in others where ecological explanations have been discounted.
Book
Great Ape Societies
TL;DR: This book discusses chimpanzees, Savanna chimpanzees, referential models and the Last Common Ancestor, and a new milestone in great ape research Junichiro Itani's research.

TL;DR: Examination of comparative data on nonhuman primates and crosscultural study of foraging societies suggests that attacks are lethal because where there is sufficient imbalance of power their cost is trivial, and that it is resources of reproductive interest to males that determine the causes of intergroup aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Social group of wild Chimpanzees in the Mahali Mountains
TL;DR: The characteristics of the social group of wild chimpanzees are clarified by long-term observation of the baited population, and the permanency, stable membership, and integrative nature of the unit-group were confirmed during the course of this study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charting cultural variation in chimpanzees
Andrew Whiten,Jane Goodall,William C. McGrew,Toshisada Nishida,Vernon Reynolds,Yukimaru Sugiyama,C. E. G. Tutin,Richard W. Wrangham,Christophe Boesch +8 more
TL;DR: Cultural variation among chimpanzee communities or unit-groups at nine long-term study sites was charted through a systematic, collaborative procedure in which the directors of the sites first agreed a candidate list of 65 behaviour patterns (here fully defined), then classified each pattern in relation to its local frequency of occurrence as discussed by the authors.
