Differences between chimpanzees and bonobos in neural systems supporting social cognition.
Our two closest living primate relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus), exhibit significant behavioral differences despite belonging to the same genus and sharing a very recent common ancestor. Differences have been reported in multiple aspects of social behavior, including aggression, sex, play and cooperation. However, the neurobiological basis of these differences...
متن کاملEcological variation in cognition: Insights from bonobos and chimpanzees
One of the most pressing problems for the comparative study of cognition is explaining the emergence of variation in psychological abilities across species. How and why do such differences in cognition arise? This is an especially important question with respect to understanding the evolutionary history of our own species: although humans show important cognitive continuities with animals, we a...
متن کاملBonobos Exhibit Delayed Development of Social Behavior and Cognition Relative to Chimpanzees
Phenotypic changes between species can occur when evolution shapes development. Here, we tested whether differences in the social behavior and cognition of bonobos and chimpanzees derive from shifts in their ontogeny, looking at behaviors pertaining to feeding competition in particular. We found that as chimpanzees (n = 30) reached adulthood, they became increasingly intolerant of sharing food,...
متن کاملDifferences in the Cognitive Skills of Bonobos and Chimpanzees
While bonobos and chimpanzees are both genetically and behaviorally very similar, they also differ in significant ways. Bonobos are more cautious and socially tolerant while chimpanzees are more dependent on extractive foraging, which requires tools. The similarities suggest the two species should be cognitively similar while the behavioral differences predict where the two species should diffe...
متن کاملChimpanzees and bonobos distinguish between risk and ambiguity.
Although recent research has investigated animal decision-making under risk, little is known about how animals choose under conditions of ambiguity when they lack information about the available alternatives. Many models of choice behaviour assume that ambiguity does not impact decision-makers, but studies of humans suggest that people tend to be more averse to choosing ambiguous options than r...
