"Evaluating nutritional and social explanations for hunting by wild chimpanzees: Implications for human health and evolution."

Ian Gilby will be talking about his research at this CEMinar. Ian has studied the behavioral ecology of wild chimpanzees since 1997. His main research interests are cooperative hunting, meat sharing and adult male dominance strategies. He is co-director of the Gombe Chimpanzee Database, which contains over five decades of detailed behavioral, ecological and demographic data from the long-term study of two chimpanzee communities in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Before coming to Arizona State University in 2014, he was a postdoctoral research associate in human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, and then a senior research scientist in evolutionary anthropology at Duke University.
