Exploring the long-term studies carried out at Mahale, Tanzania, this book provides a fascinating introduction to chimpanzee behaviour. Topics include diet, hunting, development, play, female relationships, communication and male power-takeovers. Local variation in behaviour is also considered, showing that chimpanzees have 'cultures'.
