A Bonobo Tracks Imaginary Juice What Kanzi's pretend play reveals about the deep evolutionary roots of the human mind

New research shows Kanzi, a language-trained bonobo, can track pretend objects, suggesting the roots of human imagination go back 6-9 million years to our common ancestor. #CognitiveEvolution #PrimateResearch #HumanOrigins www.primatology.net/p/a-bonobo-t...

Chimpanzees may possess rational thinking abilities akin to humans, as a new study shows they can revise beliefs based on new information. 🧠 This highlights the complex cognitive capabilities of these primates. Link: https://tinyurl.com/27f4ytbk #PrimateResearch #AnimalCognition #Biodiversity

Remembering primate expert and conservationist Jane Goodall Goodall, who died Oct. 1, became one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century for her work observing chimpanzees in the wild in East Africa. Originally broadcast in 1993 and 1999.

Chimpanzees in the wild of Uganda & Cote d’Ivoire have about 1.4 – 2.6 drinks-worth of alcohol per day in over-ripened fruit.

That’s about the same amount per day as modern humans.

Gorilla Friendships Reveal Complex Social Trade-Offs A landmark study shows that gorilla friendships come with surprising health and reproductive trade-offs—just like in humans.

Gorilla friendships aren't just about companionship; they reveal the intricate balance between health, reproduction, and social bonds. #GorillaStudy #SocialBehavior #PrimateResearch

How strange are your animals?!? Bias is talked about in human research, but what about animals?? 🙈 🐦

👉 Opportunity, human exposure, habituation & observer effects create bias in animal research 👀

2/8 Researchers in Congo's Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve recorded 700 bonobo calls and noted 300 contextual details for each.

This meticulous fieldwork allowed scientists to create a "meaning map" of bonobo vocalization—essentially a dictionary of ape language.

Glowing Monkeys? Scientists Rewrite the Rules of Primate Genetic Engineering #Science #Biology #Genetics #GeneticEngineering #PrimateResearch #Biotech

Japanese scientists pioneer nonviral gene delivery in primates Genetic engineering in non-human primates has long been limited by the need for virus-based gene delivery methods. Recently, researchers in Japan successfully used a nonviral system to introduce a transgene—that is, a gene that has been artificially inserted into an organism—into cynomolgus monkeys, which is a species of primate closely related to humans. The paper is published in the journal Nature Communications.

🐒 Scientists unlocked a new way to edit genes in primates—no viruses needed! ✨ A leap toward understanding & treating human diseases? 🧬 #GeneticEngineering #PrimateResearch #Science
