Chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos but target sexes differently Chimpanzees and bonobos differ in aggression distribution but not magnitude.

Bonobos bully as much as chimpanzees—but their victims differ by sex, according to new #ScienceAdvances research. https://scim.ag/4sgXciX

I hear you. Tough to reach hope when it crumbles around us. In solidarity

Bonobos and bottlenose dolphins may seem worlds apart, but together they reveal key conditions that foster cooperation beyond group boundaries

Manboys can't be trusted with tech. They want their mommies to take care of everything. This extends to getting mommies who look exactly like them is scary

Being a primatologist, if one is not political then I guess we need to relook at who we are

Even with a full time job I find @Behaviour2025 to be way out of my budget happening in my city. Anyone else facing the same?? I really hope students get to go to this great conference because if they can't afford here at home, it is evil to think that they can afford anywhere else. #inclusivity??

I’m happy to share that I have been elected as Vice President For Student Affairs at INTERNATIONAL PRIMATOLOGICAL SOCIETY!

I am looking forward to make primatology a more inclusive and rewarding experience for students all over the world. I need your support throughout this journey.

Israel guided 1.5 million Palestinians into Rafah. They moved the "safe zone" further and further south, until Rafah was all that was left. Now they're bombing Rafah, and people have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee. It's genocide.

Israel strikes Rafah refugee camp, 37 killed, local health officials say Israeli strikes on Gaza's southern city of Rafah killed 37 people and wounded dozens, local health officials said on Monday, after U.S. President Joe Biden told Israel not to attack Rafah without a credible plan to protect civilians.

i feel so sick. 1.4 million palestinian refugees were chased from their homes to rafah. now israel is bombing there, too.
