Chimpanzees in Uganda locked in vicious 'civil war', say researchers
Researchers from the University of Texas and Ngogo Chimpanzee Project have documented an eight-year violent civil war among the once-cohesive Ngogo chimpanzee community at Uganda's Kibale National Park, with at least 24 recorded killings (17 infants, 7 adult males) since the group split into Western and Central factions in 2018. Published in the journal Science, the study suggests this long-term inter-group conflict could reshape understanding of early human conflict origins, emphasizing relational dynamics over human-specific social constructs as potential drivers.
