Excellent. An important study of the relationship between chimpanzees and their prey. - Jane Goodall "[An] entertaining analysis of the evolutionary whys, behavioural ecology wherefores and natural history hows of a fascinating predator-prey system...[The] wealth of detail makes it hard to believe that, until two decades ago, chimps were thought of as entirely peaceful vegetarians.
