This title is not held in stock but we are happy to supply on special order. Please contact us. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus), otherwise known as pygmy chimpanzees, are the only two species of the genus Pan and, as such, there has been much research devoted to investigating the similarities and differences between them. This book offers an extensive review of the most recent field studies on the diversity of a wide range of Pan social behaviours including tool use, hunting, reproductive strategies and conflict management. Researchers and students working in the fields of primatology, anthropology and zoology will find this a fascinating read. Also available in hardcover, POA.
