Chimps use an ancient military tactic to make decisions and avoid potentially fatal clashes with rival groups, scientists have discovered.
The use of elevated terrain is one of the oldest military tactics in human warfare, according to a statement released by the University of Cambridge. The new study looked at two neighboring chimp communities monitored by the Taï Chimpanzee Project, a research and conservation project based in the Taï National Park in Côte d’Ivoire . The team, along with students and local assistants — unnamed in the study — followed the chimps for 8 to 12 hours per day between 2013 and 2016, collecting GPS and behavioral data.
