Featured Image
Why is it important?
Previously only anecdotal pros and cons on whether chimpanzees have 'religious' or 'spiritual' behaviors
Perspectives
Jane Goodall asked the question and I took up the challenge and using rigorous methods from religious studies and anthropology of religion and, I suggest, have proved it. Hopefully a contribution to multiple academic fields and to the preservation of chimpanzees as our sister species.
