Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades later, starting in the 1980s, Japanese cultural primatology was given a second look as Euro-American primatologists began to debate amongst themselves the question of whether Homo sapiens is the only cultural animal. In the most recent chapter of this controversy, field researchers such as the Swiss primatologist Christophe Boesch have accused experimental psychologists such as Michael Tomasello of underestimating and even denying the capacity of chimpanzees for culture because they limit their studies to captive animals, brought up under cognitively debilitating conditions and tested in laboratory settings bound to favor human test subjects with whom the animals are compared. These controversies raise serious questions about what sort of laboratory culture is best for the study of primate cognition. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume brings together expert researchers coming from primatology, anthropology, ethology, philosophy of cognitive sciences, neurophysiology, mathematics and psychology to discuss both the foundations of non-human primate and human social cognition as well as the means there currently exist to study the various facets of social cognition. The first part focusses on various aspects of social cognition across primates, from the relationship between food and social behaviour to the connection with empathy and communication, offering a multitude of innovative approaches that range from field-studies to philosophy. The second part details the various epistemic and methodological means there exist to study social cognition, in particular how to ascertain the proximal and ultimate mechanisms of social cognition through experimental, modelling and field studies. In the final part, the mechanisms of cultural transmission in primate and human societies are investigated, and special attention is given to how the evolution of cognitive capacities underlie primates’ abilities to use and manufacture tools, and how this in turn influences their social ecology. A must-read for both, young scholars as well as established researchers!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of a "talking" chimp, a leading scientist, and the profound insights they have uncovered about our species He has been featured in cover stories in Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic, and has been the subject of a "NOVA" documentary. He is directly responsible for discoveries that have forced the scientific community to recast its thinking about the nature of the mind and the origins of language. He is Kanzi, an extraordinary bonobo chimpanzee who has overturned the idea that symbolic language is unique to our species. This is the moving story of how Kanzi learned to converse with humans and the profound lessons he has taught us about our animal cousins, and ourselves. " . . . The underlying thesis is informative and well argued . . . Savage-Rumbaugh's results are impressive." — The Washington Post "This popular, absorbing, and controversial account is recommended." — Library Journal

This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 1032 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook lays out the science behind how animals think, remember, create, calculate, and remember. It provides concise overviews on major areas of study such as animal communication and language, memory and recall, social cognition, social learning and teaching, numerical and quantitative abilities, as well as innovation and problem solving. The chapters also explore more nuanced topics in greater detail, showing how the research was conducted and how it can be used for further study. The authors range from academics working in renowned university departments to those from research institutions and practitioners in zoos. The volume encompasses a wide variety of species, ensuring the breadth of the field is explored.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We studied the ecological impact and adaptation of 18 captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) from differing origins, rearing and housing situations as they made the transition from cages to a 6-acre tract of forest (Habitat) at the Chimp Haven retirement sanctuary in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Before release in summer 2005, we permanently tagged all trees in the Habitat and did a line-transect to sample the canopy, understory and lianas and a neighboring control plot. Before release, we presented the group with eight novel species of edible, freshly-cut vegetation (we knew they would encounter in the Habitat) in bundled combinations and recorded how the apes used each taxa. We followed their use of these familiar and any non-familiar forms of vegetation during the post-release period in the Habitat. We used scan-sampling to collect data on activity budget (including locomotion and social behavior), spatial use and proximity before and after the release, and kept track of climate variables during the entire study period. Ulmus foliage was preferred to all other forms of vegetation for both eating and non-eating use during the browse study and in the Habitat. Based on a re-sampling of the Habitat and control plots in 2008, the saplings and lianas showed greater impact due to chimpanzee presence, while the trees were less affected. Wild-born females used the vegetation the most by foraging, climbing trees, eating familiar and non-familiar plants, building beds and moving in the Habitat, compared with males and captive-born females. Although differences in forest structure, advanced age, absence of resource competition and the minimal influence of neighboring communities hindered comparisons to wild chimpanzee behavior, grouping pattern and same-sex associations approached natural norms in this group after their release into the Habitat. These data show that a pre- versus post-release environmental impact assessment is critical in preserving the integrity of the vegetation structure and provide encouraging evidence that aged, captive chimpanzees of varied life-history backgrounds can adapt to existing in a temperate, forested environment, without doing large-scale damage to it.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Abstract: Chimpanzees that use signs of American Sign Language (ASL) sign to friends and strangers, both human and nonhuman. Transcripts of signed conversations between four chimpanzees and 43 human interlocutors within a 4 min trial were analyzed for their style including lexical diversity. Twenty-two of the interlocutors were familiar to the chimpanzees, 21 were strangers, and all had basic or more knowledge of ASL. Overall, familiar signers used more vocabulary and had more conversations than unfamiliar signers. The two groups had 53 vocabulary signs in common. Only one chimpanzee, Loulis, participated in enough trials and in both conditions to elicit comparisons of responses. Loulis used a greater number of signs in trail with unfamiliar signers than familiar signers. Loulis' total number of utterances and the total number of utterances of signers in both conditions were positively correlated. Loulis used the same lexicon for both conditions; however, he repeated himself more with strangers than familiars.
