Explore how individual cognitive and physiological traits translate into real-world group dynamics through a comprehensive webinar examining chimpanzee behavior in African sanctuaries. Learn about innovative research approaches that bridge the gap between controlled experimental studies and wild observational research by studying semi-free-ranging chimpanzees in naturalistic settings. Discover how African sanctuaries provide unique research opportunities with wild-born primates living in species-appropriate habitats within large social groups, while maintaining human familiarity that enables controlled interventions impossible in wild populations. Examine the integrative methodology combining cognition, behavior, and health studies of chimpanzees as a key model system for understanding human behavioral origins. Understand how reciprocal interactions between sanctuary and field research synthesize the strengths of both approaches to reveal how complex behaviors emerge across different contexts. Gain insights into cutting-edge research supported by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Leakey Foundation, presented by an award-winning researcher recognized with Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship and NSF CAREER award. Access PACE continuing education credits through Labroots registration and completion requirements.
