2010 marked the 50th anniversary of Dr. Louis Leakey sending Jane Goodall to Gombe Stream in Tanzania to begin her groundbreaking study of chimpanzees in the wild. In this lecture, Leakey Foundation grantee Anne Pusey reviews how the Gombe study has revealed the basic structure of chimpanzee society, the nature of social relationships within and between the sexes, life history patterns, and how these resemble and differ from those of humans.

“Did Chimps and Humans Inherit Common Social Behaviors?"" was presented at the California Academy of Sciences on 10/15/2010 as part of The Leakey Foundation’s Speaker Series on Human Origins in partnership with the California Academy of Sciences.
