Reply to comments. Two Key Steps in the Evolution of Human Cooperation: The Interdependence Hypothesis (2012, background): “I study hunting and meat-sharing among wild chimpanzees in two East African communities—Kasekela (Gombe National Park, Tanzania) and Kanyawara (Kibale National Park, Uganda), and I would like to echo the authors’ emphasis on the mutualistic nature of group hunts of red colobus monkeys at these sites”
Association patterns among wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) reflect sex differences in cooperation (2008, unknown): “Males also communally hunt red colobus monkeys (Procolobus spp.), although there is debate over the degree to which this is cooperative (Boesch 1994; Mitani and Watts 2001; Boesch 2002; Gilby et al. 2006, 2008 ).”
