We observed 234 complete encounters between three habituated and five unhabituated gibbon groups over 43 months, of which 72% were aggressive. Males were the main participants and they were more likely to participate when cycling females or dependent infants were present, supporting the mate and ...
Right around that time, 47 million years ago, the primate Darwinius masillae existed, with a spectacular example of a preserved fossil, known as Ida, having been recovered by modern humans. Although this was originally touted as a proverbial “missing link” in human evolution, Ida is not a...

Here, we examined male and female participation and the outcomes of inter-group encounters in a wild pair-living primate, the Javan gibbon. Crucially, we found that the presence of cycling females had a significant impact on male participation, female singing, and the outcome of encounters. Our...
Given our closest living relatives are the chimpanzee and bonobo, which species (if either) is a better model for the behavior of our common ancestor? Why is this such a difficult question to answer? Which primate is not on the anthropoid branch of the evolutionary tree? (a) gibbon (b) ...
