Podcasts about chimpanzees

Send us Fan MailOn this week's Episplode, Brian and Brian explain Geography for our loyal and simple listeners. Yes, Zimbabwe is mentioned and covered extensively by Brian using many languages, a chicken and a bucket.The other, but more important subject both Brian's fussed over is to do with is the good old Bus Terminus and associated outbuildings, the free busrides, the graffiti and the stabbings. All good wholesome fun but never on time.Brian pinpoints a grand old time when every adult in Orstraylya and a few kiddies sat down in front of the black and white tele and watched Pick a Corpse. Those heady days with Bob and Dolly Dyer. Yes, everyone tuned in to watch Dolly swallow flaming Bats and fight Chimpanzees. All of this while Bob smoked 20 Rothmans and balanced plates on his head. Fuckin magnificent viewing and the first show to incorporate swollen unalive humans. Great stuff. Better than Neighbours or fuckin Romper Room, Idiots.On a surprising note, Bevan catches fire during the last 4 seconds of this episode, don't turn off early, this is award winning stuff and shit.

Could Big Rich, TD, Fletch or Kat actually fight a chimpanzee and live to tell the tale? For some reason, we seriously debated it. Then we turned the microscope on ourselves and assigned each member of the show a percentage based on just how mean we think we really are. And most importantly… FOOTBALL IS BACK! After our first full weekend on the couch watching games, yelling at TVs and making terrible food decisions, all is right with the world again. Man, it feels good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I don't think this is how it will actually play out. If you play a chess grandmaster, you can predict that they will beat you even if you can't predict how. I chose these examples because I don't think they require much imagination or accepting exotic assumptions. It is important to note that if chimpanzees were to guess how humans would decimate them, they would get it wrong. Chimpanzees would not imagine guns. They would not foresee poison gas. They would not conceive of chemical castration. They would not imagine humans going around and intentionally infecting them with AIDS. They have no concept of these things; they would not see it coming. Perhaps they might guess we'd be really good at throwing rocks. Amazingly good. Well, technically, that's what guns do: throw "rocks" really really well. So how will superintelligent AI actually wipe us all out? Probably in a way I couldn't conceive of. Nonetheless, it's not hard to see how deadly they could be with what we already know about.

It's a familiar story in many ways. A child is born, and for years afterward is adored and indulged and anchored to home and family. But then the child grows up and starts crossing that long threshold into adulthood. The transition proves—to say the least—a bit turbulent. Now when I say this story is familiar, I don't just mean familiar to us as human beings. After all, a similar story has long played out among our closest cousins, the chimpanzees. My guest today is Dr. Rachna Reddy. Rachna co-directs the longstanding Ngogo Chimpanzee Project in Uganda and is an incoming Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. For more than a decade now, she has been closely observing the chimpanzees at Ngogo—and especially the adolescents. Here Rachna and I talk about why adolescence—in all its intensity—is such a scientifically fascinating life-stage. We sketch the Ngogo research site, home to the largest group of chimpanzees ever studied. We unpack the different stages of chimpanzee life history. We zoom in on chimpanzee adolescence using a variety of different lenses—we talk about greetings, dominance hierarchies, grooming, social rejection, mentorship, deference, patrolling, female dispersal, and more. We discuss the so-called civil war that has taken root at Ngogo. And, finally, we talk about Rachna's in-progress novel (if that's the right word), which tells the story of one chimpanzee's coming of age in immersive detail.   I think you'll enjoy this one, folks. Chimpanzees offer us a kind of parallel universe, a funhouse mirror version of human life—one that is deeply relatable in some ways, and totally alien to us in others. And the parallels and non-parallels are arguably all the more striking in adolescence. But before we get to it, one humble ask: As the new season of Many Minds ramps up, this would be a great time to support the show. You could do this by rating us, writing a review on Apple Podcasts or a comment on Spotify, or by doing the old-fashioned thing of just recommending us to a friend or colleague.

We continue #SEXtember: FORE-play!! with a BLUE LAGOON rip-off - 1982's PARADISE.  Like the BLUE LAGOON, PARADISE spends a significant amount of time exploring what happens when scantily-clad young adults are stranded in the desert and discover each other's body parts are super interesting.  The real plot of PARADISE, though, is the life and times of Geoffrey - the aging man-servant.   Geoffrey should be retired but, alas, here is... trying to bring Sarah (Phoebe Cates) and David (Willie Aames) to a port so they can both go home to their families.  Poor Geoffrey is completely over his skis and he knows it.  It's a shame we don't spend more time listening to Geoffrey's inner monologue before he is tragically (and willingly) murdered.  Did he give up his life by putting himself in harm's only so he could get away from Sarah and David (probably just David)?  We'll never know.   Instead, we must tolerate child-like temper tantrums by David while Sarah is infatuated with taking showers more than anyone should living in a desert.  We're also treated to equally amorous Chimpanzees.  One of the Chimpanzees is particularly amorous with himself.  Think about it.  We'll wait.PARADISE is a very odd movie.  On the one hand, it has the silliness of a children's movie including the aforementioned Chimpanzees and plenty of silly music.  On the other hand, there is a significant amount of nudity. So, PARADISE is not a great family movie.  If you're down for both, then this is the movie for you.  Maybe the only movie for you. Ever.  We talk about how David and Sarah were able to build a professional-grade beach cabin out of... scraps and palm fronds and how they find copious amounts of fruit in a DESERT!  They learn to make clothes, tan leather and somehow craft cook wear but (for most of the movie) can't figure out how to use a bow and arrow.  Again, this is a kids movie.  A very naked kids movie.

He studies nonhuman primates to provide comparative data for testing hypotheses about the evolution of distinctively human traits. He focuses on the behavior and ecology of chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania. In this episode, we start by talking about Dr. Wilson's work with chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, in Tanzania. We discuss how ecology influences behavior, and chimpanzee personality. We talk about how apes are impacted by human activity. We discuss whether warfare is a cultural invention or an evolved adaptation in humans. Finally, we talk about differences in rates of violence between chimpanzees and bonobos.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Richard Wrangham is the Ruth Moore Professor of Biological Anthropology, Emeritus, at Harvard University. A primatologist and biological anthropologist, he has studied wild chimpanzees in Uganda since 1987 and is known for his work on human evolution, the origins of violence, and the role of cooking in shaping our species. In this episode, Robinson and Richard discuss how humans diverged from our primate ancestors and the evolutionary importance of learning to control fire. More particularly, they talk about Richard's cooking hypothesis, how cooking may have transformed the human brain and body, the relationship between fire and culture, and what chimpanzee behavior can teach us about the origins of human violence. Richard's books include Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human, Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence, and The Goodness Paradox: The Strange Relationship Between Virtue and Violence in Human Evolution.Richard's Harvard Profile: https://heb.fas.harvard.edu/people/richard-w-wranghamCatching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human: https://a.co/d/0iaxEBhyOUTLINE00:00 Puzzles Posed by Human Beings09:32 The Cooking Hypothesis17:54 Cooking and the Brain22:12 Diverging From Our Ancestors28:27 Playing with Fire35:19 How Cooking Shaped Culture51:29 What Does Chimpanzee Warfare Look Like?01:04:50 Chimpanzee vs Human ViolenceRobinson Erhardt researches symbolic logic and the foundations of mathematics at Stanford University, where he is also a JD candidate in the Law School.

Anyone who watches team sports may be familiar with the sight of players joining a huddle before a big match. Researchers studying chimpanzees and bonobos in African sanctuaries found our closest ape relatives do something similar before feeding time, one of the most competitive moments in their day.经常观看团队体育比赛的人，对赛前队员们围成一圈加油打气的场景应该不会陌生。在非洲多家灵长类动物保护区研究黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩的科研人员们发现，这些与人类亲缘关系最近的类人猿在喂食时间前也会有类似的举动。喂食时间是它们一天中竞争最激烈的时刻之一。As they waited for food, the apes touched, embraced and sometimes kissed one another. Those with the most reassuring physical interactions were more likely to feed peacefully alongside others.在等待食物时，这些类人猿会彼此接触、拥抱，有时还会亲吻。那些在进食前进行较多安抚性身体接触的个体，更有可能与同伴一起和睦地进食。The researchers believe this behaviour may date back at least seven million years, suggesting that using touch to build trust and cooperation is an ancient social skill shared by humans and great apes alike.研究人员认为，这种行为或能追溯到至少 700 万年前，表明通过肢体接触来建立信任和合作关系是人类和大型类人猿共同拥有的一项古老的社交技能。

“Chimpanzee, he said it…he said chimpanzee…”   PRIMUS is always a fun stop on the road to Relaxerville (especially if you've got something to inhale), and PORK SODA (the band's 3rd official studio long player) is the perfect soundtrack for just such an occasion.    Released on April 20th, 1993, almost 50 years to the day after Albert Hofmann's legendary trip on Bicycle Day, PORK SODA ups the dosage of weird that was previously experienced on Sailing the Seas of Cheese with a unique formulation that only PRIMUS is capable of delivering. If anything, PRIMUS should be called “psychedelic metal” because in a weird way, that's kind of exactly what it is.    It's jazzy, ugly, funky, and heavy, with some of the most potent, caricaturized, and cartoonesque lyrics in metal delivered in the weirdest, most absurd & surreal manner possible. For people who have never ingested entheogens and wonder what Dr. Hofmann's historic lysergic fueled bike ride might have been like, PORK SODA is an excellent reference point.    Discover the difference between low rise jeans & high-rise jeans (and find out why one variety is (allegedly) better than the other), understand that Amber Alerts are “only important if your girlfriend's name is Amber”, and “go get you some weird” before you JOIN US as we crack open a can of PORK SODA and marvel at the wonderous weirdness of PRIMUS.

Elliot Page joins Imara for an intimate conversation about this current chapter of his career. He takes us behind the scenes of Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated epic, The Odyssey, reflecting on what it was like returning to work with Nolan and why this role allowed him to feel more like himself than ever before.Elliot also discusses Second Nature, the groundbreaking documentary exploring the remarkable diversity of sex, gender, and family structure in the animal kingdom. Together, he and Imara examine what the natural world can teach us about identity, belonging, and why science often tells a more expansive story than we were taught to believe.Elliot then opens up about his relationship with actress Julia Shiplett, sharing what it's like to build a partnership with someone who understands the unique pressures of working in the entertainment industry.

If you are about to have a tough conversation, holding hands can help. According to scientists, this is how chimpanzees deal with tension before potential conflict.Henry McKean has been looking into this, and joins guest host Tom Dunne to discuss.

For our Season 5 finale, Talking Apes marks World Chimpanzee Day with one of the most fitting guests imaginable.Dr. Deus Mjungu is Director of the Jane Goodall Institute's Gombe Stream Research Centre in Tanzania, home to the world's longest-running study of wild chimpanzees. Having begun his career there as a young research assistant in 2002, Deus now leads the very research programme founded by Dr. Jane Goodall more than sixty years ago.In this fascinating conversation, Gerry and Deus explore what decades of continuous research have taught us about chimpanzee behaviour, family life, personalities and conservation. From following chimpanzees from dawn until dusk to uncovering new insights through genetics and disease monitoring, this episode celebrates the remarkable science, extraordinary people and enduring hope that continue to shape Gombe today.Watch the full video first on Apes Like Us Listen on Talking ApesLearn more about the Jane Goodall Institute:https://janegoodall.orgLearn more about Gombe Stream Research Centre:https://janegoodall.org/our-story/about-jgi/where-we-work/tanzania/Send us Fan MailSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.Support the show BUY OUR MERCH

In this Decoding Academia episode, we venture into comparative psychology, focusing on a fascinating line of work by Fumihiro Kano and colleagues on social intelligence and theory of mind in great apes. By showing apes short videos and tracking where they look, researchers examine whether they expect others to act based on what they have seen, what they know, or what they falsely believe. This approach offers a remarkable window into the evolutionary roots of human social cognition or, alternatively, the most elaborate way yet devised to explore what a chimp thinks of a man in a chimpanzee costume.We discuss what this kind of research might reveal about social intelligence across species: whether apes understand intentions, knowledge, and false beliefs; how their abilities compare with humans, dogs, and other animals; and why studying minds without language requires ingenuity, caution, and tolerance for participants who may simply decide the whole enterprise is beneath them.There is also some discussion of the usual complications: small samples, difficult data, flexible analyses, replication, and the gap between a beautifully designed experiment and a result we should treat as settled fact. But the main story is the genuinely intriguing attempt to study Theory of Mind beyond humans.Along the way, we discuss chimpanzee costumes, zoo life, dogs, and the disturbing possibility that crocodiles may be running more sophisticated cooperative hunting operations than most university committees.*The full episode is available on Patreon (57 mins)*00:00 Introduction03:57 Chimpanzee Theory of Mind & Eye Tracking13:03 Attention, Grabbing and Orientation24:03 The Role of Memory in Anticipation26:10 Revenge of the Researcher31:21 Statistical Concerns43:44 Comparative Psychology Thoughts49:13 Non-climbing Tigers and Cooperative Crocodiles51:20 Matt's New Friends and OutroRelevant papers for the episode:Kano, F., & Hirata, S.

Primate. Join Scott and Rick as they talk about this rabid animal offering. Does this murderous chimp flick have the bananas to be a fun and scary ride, or should Primate be caged and forgotten about?

It's something scientists have never observed before: chimpanzees, formerly with close family bonds, now engaging in deadly combat. A recent study looked at one of the largest groups of chimps in the world, which primatologists have been observing since 1995. For decades, the group thrived, but recently, factions have broken off, and fighting has turned deadly-- and scientists aren't sure why. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Dr. John Mitani, one of the researchers who's been observing the chimps, and an author of the paper, about what's going on between the primates-- and what we might be able to learn from it.

Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan opens with something a little different -- a look at the animal kingdom's most surprising builders and tool users, and what any of us can take from that. Then he gets into the main topic: the growing number of homeowners who've decided they're staying put, and what that shift in thinking should mean for how you spend renovation dollars. Dan walks through five can't-lose projects for the forever home, including some smaller-scale, paint-friendly versions of each one for when the budget isn't there yet. He closes with four questions that can help you figure out which project is actually the right first move for your specific house.In This Episode[00:00] -- Welcome and Teaser[00:34] -- Animals Using Tools (and What That Has to Do With You)[05:35] -- The Forever Home Mindset[09:59] -- Project 1: Outdoor Living Space[13:21] -- Project 2: Kitchen Refresh[19:25] -- Project 3: Windows, Insulation, and Air Sealing[24:36] -- Project 4: Basement Upgrade[30:50] -- Project 5: Primary Bathroom[33:46] -- Four Questions to Find Your Best First Project[38:53] -- Paint, Final Thoughts, and Wrap-UpSegment 1: Animals Using Tools [00:34]Dan opens with a fun detour into the animal kingdom. Turns out humans aren't the only ones who build things, use tools, and pass down traditions.Termites [01:09] -- Termite mounds can rise more than 20 feet in the air with walls 18 inches thick. Inside, they're honeycombed with tunnels, chambers, and air channels that regulate temperature and humidity like a built-in HVAC system. Architects have actually copied the design. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe, designed by Mike Pearce, uses passive cooling modeled directly on termite mounds and consumes about 90% less energy for ventilation than a comparable conventional building.Sea Otters and Chimps [02:07] -- Otters float on their backs, rest a stone on their belly, and smash open clams and mussels against it. Some otters even have a favorite rock they carry tucked in a pouch of loose skin under their arm so it's always handy. Chimpanzees strip leaves off twigs and use them to fish termites out of mounds. The more interesting part: different chimp communities in the same forest have entirely different tool traditions, passed down like family recipes. In Tanzania, two neighboring groups both fish for termites with sticks, but one group consistently makes their tools wider and longer than the other. In Senegal, one community has invented something no other chimps on earth do -- they make actual spears, sharpening the tips with their teeth and using them to hunt.Crows and Elephants [03:55] -- In a famous Oxford experiment, a crow named Betty was given two pieces of wire, one bent into a hook and one straight. Her cage mate stole the hook. Betty took the straight wire, jammed it into a crack, bent it into a hook on her own, and used it to fish meat out of a tube. She did it nine out of ten times when the scenario was repeated. Asian elephants snap branches off trees, strip them down, and shorten them to just the right length for swatting flies. They're not using whatever's lying around -- they're modifying the tool to fit the job.The Takeaway [04:51] -- If termites with brains the size of a grain of salt can engineer a skyscraper, and crows can fabricate hooks on the fly, and otters are basically one step away from a tool belt, whatever you're telling yourself you can't learn probably isn't as true as you think.Segment 2: The Forever Home Mindset and 5 Can't-Lose Projects [05:35]Why People Are Staying Put [06:10]Dan poses a question to start: if you knew without a doubt you were never moving from the house you're in right now, what would you change first?That question is reshaping how a lot of homeowners think about renovation right now. Homeowner spending on home improvements is projected to hit $518 billion in 2026, and it's not being driven by the luxury market or house flippers. It's regular homeowners who've decided they're staying. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies and a 2026 survey from Great Day Improvements, nearly two-thirds of homeowners expect to be in their current home for 11 years or more. And 44% of homeowners now describe where they live as their forever home.If you bought or refinanced around 2020 or 2021 at 3% or lower, you already know why nobody's moving. A 7% mortgage waiting on the other side of a sale has a way of making your current house look a lot better.When that's the context, the renovation calculus changes. You stop asking what a future buyer will want and start asking what will actually make your family's life better for the next decade or more. That shift changes everything about where renovation dollars go.Project 1: Outdoor Living Space [09:59]West Michigan winters get all the complaints, but the springs, summers, and falls are genuinely great. If you're staying in your home, it pays to think about how much of that you're actually using.Dan's honest about his own situation here: his deck has no seating, nobody ever uses it, and they're wasting dozens of evenings out there every year just by not having the space set up. The vision for this project can be as big as a covered pergola, an outdoor kitchen, a hot tub area with weather-safe TV and speakers -- spaces that function as actual rooms. The return on that isn't measured in resale dollars. It's measured in summer evenings with your family.Paint-friendly version: If the bigger build-out isn't in the budget, start smaller. Get the deck cleaned up and restained. Get dedicated seating out there. If you've already got wood or metal chairs that have seen better days, RepcoLite can usually help you get them cleaned up and looking good again. Create a space that actually invites you to sit down.Project 2: Kitchen Refresh [13:21]The kitchen is where most families spend an enormous amount of time, almost all of it either cooking, cleaning, or entertaining. A kitchen that looks good and functions well makes daily life easier in ways that are hard to overstate.Dan talks through what a refresh can include: painting or refacing cabinets, new countertops, updated hardware, a new sink and faucet, new appliances, updated lighting, new floors. Some of those things aren't cheap. But the payoff comes from 300-plus dinners a year in a space that doesn't make you feel bad every time you walk into it.Dan's own kitchen confession [15:33]: '80s oak cabinets he doesn't like, dated hardware, a track light that's a direct import from the same decade with shiny brass everything and two or three working bulbs, Formica counters that have lost most of their original color. He's not proud of it. He knows it drags him down. He also knows it doesn't have to, and that a couple of weeks of work would change most of it.Paint-friendly version: Painting the cabinets and updating the colors is one of the highest-impact, most budget-friendly changes you can make in a kitchen. Pair that with better lighting and some new hardware, and you can dramatically lift the mood of a space without touching the counters or the layout.Project 3: Windows, Insulation, and Air Sealing [19:25]Older homes lose a significant amount of heat through inefficient windows, attics, rim joists, and basement walls. Every year you stay in the house, you're paying for that inefficiency. Replacing outdated windows with modern low-E glass triple-pane units, combined with serious air sealing and insulation in the attic, is one of those projects that starts paying you back the day it's done.The payback isn't just in lower heating bills, though that's real and measurable. It's also in comfort. Eliminating drafts, keeping warm spaces warmer and cool spaces cooler -- that changes how you feel about being inside your own home.Dan is careful not to oversell the financial return. Windows alone don't always pay for themselves quickly in energy savings. Insulation and air sealing tend to give you better bang for your buck on the utility side. But when you're in your forever home and you're not doing the math on resale, the calculation shifts. It becomes less about payback period and more about making the house a more comfortable place to live every single day.Dan also mentions a past show segment on opening painted-shut windows from 2024, and will link to it in the show notes for anyone dealing with that specific problem.Paint-friendly version: You can't make old windows more efficient with paint. But you can improve how they look and feel. Getting painted-shut windows functioning again doesn't cost much and doesn't require much more than some know-how. Dan's got that covered in the 2024 segment linked below.Project 4: Basement Upgrade [24:36]Almost every West Michigan home has a basement. A surprising percentage of them are being used for storage and not much else. A finished basement adds livable square footage without changing the footprint of the house, and it grows with you -- a playroom becomes a teenage hangout space becomes a home gym as the years go by.Dan's current lower level is wall-to-wall paneling, drop ceiling tiles, and carpet, all from the '80s. It works. The kids have used it. It's served its purpose. But there's a lot more potential there.Paint-friendly version: This is one where paint can genuinely transform a space on a fraction of the budget of a full finish-out. Dan tells the story of doing exactly this in his first house -- a dark, dingy Michigan basement that nobody...

In the mid-1970s, primatologist Jane Goodall witnessed something that changed her opinion of chimpanzees forever: A four-year conflict amongst the chimpanzees she was studying in Tanzania. Chimpanzees that knew each other started killing each other. It was essentially the primate equivalent of a civil war. And now, it's happening again: Fighting within the largest known community of chimpanzees.

First up on the podcast, freelance science journalist Hannah Richter joins host Sarah Crespi to discuss NASA's plans to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars in less than 3 years. Having not launched a fission reactor to space in more than 60 years, the organization faces many technical and bureaucratic hurdles to make that deadline. Next on the show, Aaron Sandel, associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin and co-director of the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, reports this week in Science on what looks like a chimpanzee civil war. The unprecedented violent split occurred in a large chimp colony that has been tracked by researchers for decades. Now, scientists are asking: What can the lethal division of a chimp community teach us about human conflict? This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.

Intelligence is a many splendored thing, especially when it comes to comparisons between species. Chimpanzees are better than humans at some numerical tasks, but less good at understanding what numbers actually mean. One window on the ways that species differ is how they play amongst themselves. I talk with anthropologist and cognitive scientist Erica Cartmill about modes of play and other social behaviors among various species, and what they reveal about the ways we all think.
