It’s Friday night (somewhere) so settle in for a 🧵that combines fermented fruit, scrumping monkeys, etymology, Larson cartoons, & Gothic art to tackle the enduring mystery of why humans are so astoundingly good at metabolising alcohol! or read our new 🧪 paper ;) academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

I’m reminded about how Puerto Rico had free-ranging monkeys because the NIH shut down an island colony but didn’t bother to make any long-term plans for them… when the animals stopped getting fed, they swam to the mainland during low tide.

Humans have many unusual traditions. But did you know animals’ strange behaviors can become culture too? Out now in Current Biology (doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...) we show the rise and spread of a surprising tradition: interspecies infant abduction. Interactive timeline (www.ab.mpg.de/671374) 🧵 (1/12)

New paper alert 📢 Young wild chimpanzees from the @taichimpproject.bsky.social show attachment types with their mothers similar to human children. Only they do not display patterns related to disorganized attachment. Read our new paper in Nature Human Behavior www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This study of 50 wild Western chimpanzee mother–offspring dyads revealed no evidence of disorganized attachment. Instead, offspring exhibited secure-like and insecure avoidant-like behaviours during t...

We asked how behavioral diversity & agonistic behaviors relate to group size in wild capuchins. We analyzed >65,000 behavioral scans collected over 15 yrs on 214 capuchins (8 groups) & controlled for # inds sampled. We found behavioral richness, diversity & agonism was higher in larger groups.

Happy to have a new piece in @science.org with my friend Lydia where we draw attention to the significance of animal material culture for understanding human technical evolution and why we should digitally preserve and protect primate tools and tool use sites. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
