The Behavioral Development of Free-Living Chimpanzee Babies and Infants:
Year: 1984
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This study aims to achieve an ontogenetically oriented understanding of behavioural phenomena during early development (first 2 years) of free-living chimpanzees. For this purpose, six chimpanzee babies and infants were observed in the Gombe National Park, Tanzania. The main question which dominates this publication is whether it is possible to find out what type of organization is underlying the developing behaviour. Furthermore, comparisons are made between the results of this publication and the human literature with the intention to uncover aspects of human behaviour which would remain unnoticed without such a comparison. ...Zie: Summary
