Summary
Each behaviour was 88 per cent less likely to occur in these human-dominated landscapes.“In those places, we find the chimpanzees have suffered a loss in behavioural or cultural diversity,” says study co-leader Ammie Kalan at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.“This is a very impressive study, with sample sizes that were unimaginable just a few years ago and very careful analyses that controlled for all the obvious confounds,” says van Schaik.“It is a discouraging finding,” says Jill Pruetz at Texas State University.
