Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins? [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Pre-crastination refers to the propensity to initiate tasks at the earliest possible moment. Research with human adults has found that some individuals consistently chose to transport a nearby object a further distance rather than delay initiation of the

Social culture in bonobos [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Van Leeuwen et al. found that two peculiar interactive behaviors (social scratching and groom slapping) transmitted socially through bonobo networks across six European zoos.

Synchrony in Human-Bonobo Dialog [PDF]
2020 11th IEEE International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), 2020 Past research has suggested that bonobos have demonstrated capabilities of successful linguistic interaction with humans. A transcript of interactions linked to such claims is analyzed using methods that have been deployed to assess mutual understanding in human communication.

Comparing Predictors and Outcomes of Higher Allostatic Load across Zoo-Housed African Great Apes
Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2023 Stressors over the lifespan can contribute to physiological dysregulation, or allostatic load. Allostatic load has been studied in humans using allostatic load indices (ALIs) for over 25 years, but the same methods are rarely applied to other species. We

Vocal communication in bonobos (Pan paniscus) : studies in the contexts of feeding and sex [PDF]
, 2011 Despite having being discovered nearly 80 years ago, bonobos (Pan paniscus) are still one of the least well understood of the great apes, largely remaining in the shadow of their better known cousins, the chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). This is especially

Insights into the musculature of the bonobo hand [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2018 AbstractThe human hand is well known for its unique dexterity which is largely facilitated by a highly mobile, long and powerful thumb that enables both tool manufacturing and use, a key component of human evolution. The bonobo (Pan paniscus), the closest extant relative to modern humans together with the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also possesses ...

Attention following and nonverbal referential communication in bonobos (Pan paniscus), chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus) [PDF]
, 2011 A central issue in the study of primate communication is the extent to which individuals adjust their behaviour to the attention and signals of others, and manipulate others’ attention to communicate about external events.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Common chimps and bonobos are our closest living relatives but almost nothing is known about bonobo internal anatomy. We present the first phylogenetic analysis to include musculoskeletal data obtained from a recent dissection of bonobos.
