| Research Abstract |
I observed wild chimpanzees in Bossou, Guinea, and with wild bonobos in Wamba, DR Congo. I also conducted experiments with captive chimpanzees in Great Ape Research Institute, Hayashibara, and in Kumamoto Sanctuary, Wild Research Center, Kyoto University. Comparative studies with our evolutionary closest relatives on group cooperation, food sharing, and helping behavior revealed novel aspects of the evolution of altruism, reciprocity, and understanding of others, and proposed novel hypotheses of the human evolution.
