Research Abstract

In this research project, I studied two adjacent unit-groups of chimpanzees at the Mahale Mountains National Park, Tanzania in search for clarifying the cultural differences between the groups, transfer of females between groups, and intergroup relationships. I obtained a new information about the succession of cultural behavior pattern called social scratch and also I observed the extraordinarily large number of female transfer in a year. Thus I have reported its process together with the responses of other individuals in the group.
