RE: Chimps eat what?! Notes from the field

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

Wow, what a potent post you have served us here. Thank you for the great quality information and the short clip too.

I had seen a hunt on a BBC documentary a while ago where the chimpanzees had hunted dow another chimp, which they also ate. The document as well as what you are reporting our way doesn't surprise me.

Yet, you analysis relating to hypothesis on this matter were the most valuable parts of this story for me. Thank you for sharing the date and well as your well educated thoughts on the matter. It reminded me a bit of a thought shared by Australian Aborigines when they say that to their younger fellow "Keep kangaroo meat for the older fellow, as it might give "bad dreams" to the younger ones..." Lots to ponder in relation to this saying, whether it is taken literally but most probably and importantly metaphorically as well.

All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

A good saying, thanks for sharing @eric-boucher. I'm writing down that saying to use when I teach about subsistence groups and meat sharing, humans do share more than others after all.
