"Although chimpanzees have been studied in the wild for almost 60 years, until recently, very little is known about how chimpanzees age both physically and socially. This is surprising given that they can live up to 50-60 years in the wild, well past the prime years of their life. In this talk, Dr. Machanda will highlight recent research from her long-term field site, the Kibale Chimpanzee Project, on the physical, physiological and social aging patterns of wild chimpanzees."
