- 1Scientist who documented chimpanzee civil war revisited●‘I didn’t want to write about this’: the man who first saw chimps waging civil war https:// programming.dev/post/5781647

The observer recalls reluctance to record the killings, which shattered assumptions that chimpanzees were inherently peaceful. The story highlights how the discovery reshaped understanding of primate violence and its implications for human nature.
