their behavior, life history, and evolutionary kinship with humans. Nonetheless, most knowledge about the behavior of wild chimpanzees has come from a handful of long-term study sites. Recent research from these sites and others has shown greater behavioral
flexibility and demographic variation in chimpanzees than was previously recognized. Simultaneously, this variation is being lost as chimpanzees are threatened increasingly with extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and other anthropogenic factors. In this
talk, I describe how my research explores the behavioral flexibility and demographic patterns of chimpanzees living in the Anthropocene. <o:p> </o:p></span></p>
