Thrilled to share our latest open-access study published in Scientific Reports! We examined how social versus asocial learning influences children’s ability to override previously learned strategies across three cultural settings—BaYaka, Bandongo, and Germany: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New paper out in eLife! 🎉 Old age variably impacts chimpanzee engagement and efficiency in stone tool use elifesciences.org/articles/105... (including videos of wild elderly chimpanzees using tools! 🪨 🌰)
Old age variably impacts chimpanzee engagement and efficiency in stone tool use
Long-term standardized data collection on wild western chimpanzees reveals late-life changes in stone tool use, and the extent of these changes varies between individuals.

The orangutans and bonobos are the first two illustrations of a series on behavior and movement of animals in their environment. #SciArt
More coming soon! :)

Very different mammals follow the same rules of behavior
Research hints at an underlying architecture that orders the movements of animals

I’m looking for new books out there (broadly) in the field of Human Ethology, and for people that would be keen to review them for the journal of the International Society of Human Ethology! 📚 Have ideas?? 🧐 Let me know!

The poster version of my primate drawings that I presented at #AABA last year. I think I'm going to start selling this as a poster, but I'd need a better count of interest to see if it's worth it. LMK!
