Stopy jako ukazatele vlastností homininů a anatomicky moderních lidí
… nohou anatomicky moderního člověka a šimpanze Bonobo (Pan paniscus) a shrnujeme jejich charakteristické rysy, které využíváme při určování původců fosilních stop. Sledujeme vztah mezi anatomií nohy, především přítomností či absencí klenby nožní, způsobem lokomoce a výsledným tvarem stopy. Dále …

Linking behaviour and physiology of female bonobos (Pan paniscus)
… and the importance of dominance in female bonobos. Detailed behavioural studies were carried out on four mixed-sex captive bonobo groups; morphological data and faecal samples were collected to allow non-invasive assessment of physiological parameters. First, I addressed the background for …

Differences in the Communicative Behavior and Neurobiology of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and Bonobos (Pan paniscus)
<p>Chimpanzees and bonobos have distinctly different vocalizations, but it is unclear why these differences have evolved. We hypothesized that differences in habitat and feeding ecology have selected for bonobos to have an increased reliance on vocal communication compared to chimpanzees. To …

The evolution of shelter: ecology and ethology of chimpanzee nest building
… on this basic trait. All great apes (chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, and orangutan) build analogous structures (called nests or beds) at least once a day throughout their adult lives, which suggests that this elementary technology was present before the hominid lines separated. This thesis …

An Empirical and Theoretical Comparison of the Socio-ecological Behaviors of Captive Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), Bonobos (Pan paniscus), and Western Lowland Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla): Social Tolerance and Behavioral Responses to Changes in Food Quality and Distribution
… most of their range in Central Africa, however, bonobos do not overlap with either of the other two species. This difference has been hypothesized to be the main factor leading to the socio-ecological traits of each species. Access to, and competition for, terrestrial herbaceous vegetation (THV) …

Social Decision-Making in Bonobos and Chimpanzees
… in humans’ closest living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees. In Chapter 1, I review existing literature on theory of mind—or the ability to understand others’ psychological states—in these species. I also present a theoretical framework to guide further investigation of social …

What Makes Our Minds Human? Comparative Phylogenetic Perspectives on the Evolution of Cognition
… through comparative studies with chimpanzees and bonobos. The general aim of these studies is to understand which aspects of cognition are unique to humans, and which are shared with our closest living relatives. Chapters 2-3 test the hypothesis that humans have unique cognitive skills for …
