Our work featured in The Times, and beyond!
Our recent publication in Nature Human Behaviour has received worldwide media attention (>380 news clippings), including an article in The Times newspaper.
From The Times article:
Give a chimpanzee from Bossou, Guinea, a big stone, a small stone and a nut, and he or she will know just what to do: put the nut on the big stone, smash it open with the small stone and then feast. Give a chimpanzee from Seringbara, Guinea, the exact same tools and they will be waiting a long time for lunch, a study has found. With no nut-cracking tradition in that troop they will have no idea what to do.
The difference between the two groups, who live only four miles apart, may reveal a clue to our own evolution.
