Capuchin monkeys on Jicaron Island, Panama, are kidnapping baby howler monkeys. This unusual behavior, first observed in 2022, involves young males carrying the infants, often resulting in the babies' deaths. Scientists are studying this strange new "tradition." #PrimateBehavior #News
How did Mozambique’s baboons and vervets respond to Cyclone Idai? A new study shows primate resilience to extreme climate events—hinting at the evolutionary past of adaptability. #PrimateBehavior #ClimateChange #Gorongosa #Anthropology #Evolution
Capuchins are abducting baby monkeys—for no reason we can understand. Animal culture just took a strange, dark turn. #primatebehavior #animalculture #wildlife
Wild chimpanzees don’t show disorganized attachment—but captive ones do. New research suggests our evolutionary past shaped caregiving in ways modern humans may be neglecting. #PrimateBehavior #Anthropology #HumanEvolution #AttachmentTheory
Chimpanzees and bonobos both console distressed peers—young apes lead the way. Empathy, it turns out, runs deep across species lines and emerges early in life. #PrimateBehavior #Anthropology #HumanEvolution #Bonobos #Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees sharing fermented fruit hint at the deep evolutionary roots of human social drinking traditions. #EvolutionaryBiology #PrimateBehavior #SocialBonding
A recent study by UCL anthropologists reveals that macaque mothers exhibit a brief period of restlessness following the death of their infants, contrasting with the prolonged grief responses observed in humans. #PrimateBehavior #GriefResearch #UCLStudy
Fascinating. These "animals" know when they're being watched, and adjust their behavior accordingly. Sometimes it's a good thing; sometimes not so much.

Bonobos reject unfair rewards—especially with distant partners—hinting at deep evolutionary roots of fairness. This study offers a window into the social logic behind primate cooperation. #PrimateBehavior #Anthropology #Bonobos #Fairness #EvolutionaryPsychology #HumanOrigins
Animal grief may look nothing like human sorrow: Macaque mothers rested less after losing infants but showed no long-term signs of animal grief. No changes in feeding or grooming were found.
