Chimpanzee predation challenges views of human uniqueness
Anthropologist Dr Craig B Stanford reports chimpanzees in Gombe Park kill red colobus and eat meat, suggesting early humans may have hunted millions of years ago. The Kasakela community consumes about one ton of meat yearly, with a 1992 binge yielding 71 red colobus in 68 days, highlighting primates’ appetite for flesh and challenging vegetarian myths.

Carnivores Hunt and Trade Meat for Sek
Creatures described as carnivorous mourners who hunt with purpose and engage in barter, exchanging meat for sek in a ritualized economy. The fragment hints at a culture where death and predation intertwine with resource exchange.
Chimpanzee Hunting Tied to Female Receptivity and Mating
Researchers note that higher female sexual receptivity increases chimp hunting behavior. Stanford observes males display prey to females before sharing, suggesting parallels to human mating. At Gombe, most hunting occurs in summer, while winter scarcity reduces meat intake for weeks.
