What does the Gombe Chimpanzee War say about our past?
The Gombe Chimpanzee War
The conflict happened from 1974-1978 between two communities of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, the namesake of the war.
Before we go any further, we can extrapolate quite a bit from this very simple bit of information about Chimpanzees.
1. Another species is engaging in what we would describe only as "war"
2. Another species is capable of pre-meditated genocide
3. Another species has the mental capability to strategically plan the extermination of a rival tribe.
4. Another species has what we would describe as "tribes"
But what does this say about humankind? Assuming we share a common ancestor - could this war be an indicator of a commonality between our two species that is far more ancient than we expected? Let's take a look and see.
