Half a century of dedicated field research has brought us from ignorance
of our closest relatives to the discovery that chimpanzee communities
resemble human cultures in possessing suites of local traditions
that uniquely identify them. The collaborative effort required to
establish this picture parallels the one set up to sequence the chimpanzee
genome, and has revealed a complex social inheritance system that
complements the genetic picture we are now developing.
