Kanzi the bonobo died yesterday at 44 years of age. What an amazing life of learning he gave to humanity, teaching us how our concepts of mind are shared in other species. Hopefully, one day soon humans will share more kindness with the remaining apes of the world.
In 1925, Raymond Dart identified the first specimen of the extinct hominid, Australopithecus africansus, the Tuang child. #Poetry #Science #History #Primatology #TuangChild #Dart (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1925a.html)

Thanks to @PopularScience for including my thoughts in this piece on animals' responses to death. That pull quote, "Grief is not just a human thing," is mine. Good perspectives from primatology colleagues in here too! https://www.popsci.com/environment/animal-death-rituals/

Not so different from humans as we might want to think.

“Authorities in #thailand believe animal traffickers are smuggling monkeys across the border into #cambodia and #laos to be used for testing in laboratories.
Thai authorities blame the smuggling of long-tailed macaques on high demand from Chinese traditional medicine, but US labs implicated.” #labtesting #monkeys #primatology #primates #tootsea
I've migrated to a new instance so it's time to say hello again! I'm a behavioral ecologist interested in how we shape and are shaped by environment. I use tools from #archaeology #ethnobotany #comparativebiology #anthropology
#ethnography
#primatology
I'm here for research hot takes, new pubs, etc. and will share mine too!
Bonjour !
Excited to be joining Mastodon so here’s my #introduction 
Master's student examining the causes and implications of orangutan flange plasticity at the University of Cambridge 
#BioAnth
So, expect a lot of papers being posted about great ape behaviour, ecology and conservation 
#primatology
As someone who finds new ways to be anxious daily, you'll also see me tooting about:

Looking forward to meeting new people on this community !
Curious to know if others fail also to get excited about the building for zoo monkeys and apes a bigger cage. Is it a better space? Yes. Yet: Forced captivity, subject to public gaze not to mention lots of breeding future captives, is not what
I wish to celebrate. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/brookfield-zoo-expansion-apes-monkeys-primates/3099664/ #primates #animals #zoo #anthropology #primatology #animalwelfare #animalrights
Oh for sure, don't we all have days like this?! One of the best gifts I've ever gotten (a while ago now). For someone like me who has studied the behavior of primates --- not marmosets but baboons and great apes-- it's extra perfect. #primates #primatology #animals
