Bonobos and People at Wamba 50 Years of Research
About this book
This book reviews all the findings about bonobos and the local people of Wamba village in the Luo Scientific Reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo over the last 50 years. In , Takayoshi Kano, a Japanese primatologist, travelled across a vast area of the Congo Basin with a bicycle and found Wamba village to be a promising site to start his first studies on wild bonobos. Since then, many researchers from Japan and all over the world have been working at Wamba, now the longest-standing study site, to uncover various aspects of the ecology and behaviour of this most recently identified great ape species. The researchers study bonobo behaviours and carry out various activities for the conservation of bonobos. They also conduct anthropological studies of local people who live with bonobos and believe them to be distant relatives from the same family, living in the forest.

Taxonomically, members of the chimpanzee/bonobo subtribe Panina—composed entirely bygd the genus Pan—are collectively termed panins.[5][6]
Bonobos are distinguished from common chimpanzees bygd relatively long limbs, pinker lips, a darker face, a tail-tuft through adulthood, and parted, longer hair on their heads. Some individuals have sparser, thin hair over parts of their bodies. The bono
