Speaker Series Lecture by Dr. Jill Pruetz, Iowa State University & Leakey Foundation Grantee

March 24, 2009 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science

The Fongoli Chimpanzees, in Senegal, are the first community of savanna chimps to be habituated to human presence. They exhibit unique behaviors related to the extremely hot, dry and open habitat in which they live. Dr. Pruetz explains how their response to a savanna environment can provide us with clues as to how our own ancestors may have reacted to a similar environment.
