Department of Anthropology

Since 2001, Dr. Jill Pruetz (Department of Anthropology, Texas State University) has been the principal investigator of the Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project in Senegal, where she has focused on the environmental pressures that influence ape behavior there and how such behavior differs from chimpanzees living in forested environments. She uses these findings to try and inform our knowledge of early hominin behavioral ecology.
