In the West, many know of the pioneering work of Jane Goodall, whose studies of these apes at Gombe in Tanzania are justly famous. Less well-known, but equally important, are the studies carried out by Toshisada Nishida on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. Comparison between the two sites yields both notable similarities and startling contrasts. Nishida has written a comprehensive synthesis of his work on the behaviour and ecology of the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains. With topics ranging from individual development to population-specific behavioural patterns, it reveals the complexity of social life, from male struggles for dominant status to female travails in raising offspring. Richly illustrated, the author blends anecdotes with powerful data to explore the fascinating world of the chimpanzees of the lakeshore"-- Provided by publisher Summary: "The book you hold in your hands, with its fine photographs and exquisite descriptions of chimpanzee behaviour by one of the world's greatest experts, would have been unthinkable half a century ago. We have come such a long way in our knowledge of chimpanzees, and the discoveries have reached us in such a gradual and cumulative fashion, that we hardly realise how little we used to know about our nearest relatives. At the time, chimpanzees did not yet occupy the special place in our thinking about human evolution that they occupy today. Strangely enough, science looked at baboons as the best model of our ancestors since baboons, too, had descended from the trees to become savanna-dwellers. These rambunctious monkeys, however, are quite far removed from us"-- Provided by publisher |
