Chimpanzee Wallpapers

The common chimpanzee is the broader of the two species that make up the chimpanzee genus, which belongs to the Hominidae (great apes) family of the primates order. Although the name "chimpanzee" is mainly used to refer to this species, this is technically incorrect. Pan paniscus (bonobo), which was known as "pygmy chimpanzee" or "dwarf chimpanzee" until recently, is another species of the Pan genus.

Unlike the bonobo, whose range is limited to the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the common chimpanzee has a broader range of distribution in West and Central Africa, with four subspecies within these ranges that are observed in separate regions.

Studying chimpanzees and bonobos, the evolutionary closest living relatives of the human lineage is critical for understanding nature and making sense of oneself. The roads that diverged six million years ago produce significant cultural differences while allowing for many surprising similarities. While the first studies on chimpanzees in the early 1900s were about solving their cognitive abilities, in the 1970s, in parallel with the rise of individualist liberal ideology, belligerent behaviors, and the dominant male figure seem to come to the fore in research. In this period, studies also begin with bonobos, which are the evolutionary siblings of chimpanzees, and behaviors such as empathy, cooperation, guiding teeth continue to enter our imagination, albeit a little.

The shapes of chimpanzees indicate that they can distinguish colors. In the 1920s, he had the chance to examine the genus Pan and Homo comparatively; He looks at his own child and chimpanzee cub together, observing the "friendship and communication" between them. In the following years, his experiments with chimpanzees in captivity were about understanding the intricacies of tool use.

While chimpanzee communities are located throughout the African continent, from east to west of the tropics, the habitat of bonobos is the forests in the central region of the continent, south of the Congo River within the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Bonobos with a narrow habitat are estimated to have 40 thousand individuals, and the more common chimpanzees to 300 thousand individuals. However, although limited, bonobos' living space is both sheltered and abundant in terms of food. The conditions of chimpanzees often change with ecological factors and create various difficulties.
