Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Editor-in-Chief for International Journal of Primatology Dr. Joanna Setchell, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an exciting milestone in the field of primatology and anthropology, which I believe will be of significant interest to your readership. Since 1983, our team has been conducting extensive research on wild bonobos in the Wamba region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This year marks the 50th anniversary of our continuous study, a journey that has led to numerous insights into the behavior and ecology of these fascinating primates. To commemorate this milestone, we have published a book titled "Bonobos and People at Wamba: 50 Years of Research" with Springer. This comprehensive volume brings together reviews from most of the Japanese and Western researchers who have worked in Wamba, each contributing their expertise on various themes. The book offers an exhaustive understanding not only of the bonobos at Wamba but also provides comparative insights with other bonobo and chimpanzee research sites, as well as the local community's lifestyle and culture. Particularly noteworthy are the final two chapters by Richard Wrangham and Takeshi Furuichi, which synthesize and discuss the various hypotheses proposed over the years regarding bonobo evolution. Having published articles related to bonobos in your esteemed journal, we view this book as a culmination of our research efforts. We would be honored if you could consider featuring a review of our book in your journal. A PDF version of the book is available for download at the following link: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dropb… Should you require a printed copy, we are more than willing to arrange for one to be sent to you. We look forward to the possibility of our book being introduced to your readers and hope it contributes to further understanding and appreciation of bonobos and their conservation.
