What we can learn about ourselves from the Chimps of the Gombe Chimpanzee War

In this video we take a deeper look at the chimps described by Jane Goodall and seen during our research of the Gombe Chimpanzee War of 1974-1978.

The conflict happened from 1974-1978 between two communities of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, the namesake of the war.

**NOTE: I do not mean to imply that Humans evolved FROM Chimpanzees when making references to both in this video. I am claiming that we had a common ancestor who would have had similar attributes to a Chimpanzee and therefore we can use the Chimpanzee as a way to study some of the behaviors of our ancient ancestors. My wording isn't always perfect, but this should clear that up.
