As our closest living relatives, chimpanzees are of interest to evolutionary anthropologists for providing the standard by which to judge human uniqueness. Most of my research focuses on the exceptionally large Ngogo community, which contains about 200 individually recognized and named chimpanzees. My research combines long-term behavioral observations and demographic data with genetic data derived from non-invasively collected fecal samples to answer questions about the evolution of chimpanzees and humans. However, I am interested in all facets of the evolution of chimpanzee behavior, and I encourage potential students to contact me to discuss their ideas for research at Ngogo.
