Manage episode 501223595 series 3656759
In the heart of Uganda's Kibale National Park lies a remarkable story of family politics, power struggles, and territorial conflicts that mirror human societies in startling ways. The Ngogo chimpanzee community is the largest known chimpanzee group in the world. It provides a window into the complex social structures that govern great ape societies and, by extension, offers insights into our own evolutionary past
