توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
برخلاف انسانهایی که از درختان پایین آمدند و حرکت دوپا را توسعه دادند، شامپانزهها در زیستگاه اصلی اجداد ما باقی ماندهاند: جنگلهای بارانی استوایی آفریقا.
در این کتاب، ورنون رینولدز به تفصیل کار تعداد زیادی از دانشآموزان و محققان ارشد را بر روی شامپانزههای وحشی منطقه حفاظتشده جنگل بودونگو در غرب اوگاندا شرح میدهد. او گزارشی منسجم و عمیق از یک جامعه شامپانزهها متشکل از بیش از 60 نفر ارائه میکند که در این منطقه زندگی میکنند.
منطقه سونسو در وسط جنگل بودونگو، که او و همکارانش در 15 سال گذشته به شدت آن را مطالعه کرده اند. شامپانزه ها هرگز تغذیه نشده اند و در یک حالت کاملا طبیعی زندگی می کنند. رینولدز زیستگاه جنگلی، رژیم غذایی و فرهنگ و سازمان اجتماعی آنها را توصیف می کند
و رفتار، بیماریهای آنها و تهدیدهایی که ناشی از اعمال مردم روستاهای اطراف است، وجود تلههایی است که شکارچیان برای صید بزهای کوچک و خوکها برپا میکنند.
پروفسور رینولدز به عنوان بنیانگذار و رئیس پروژه جنگل بودونگو، مسئول گردآوری نشریات، گزارش ها و پایان نامه های متعددی است که در مورد این شامپانزه ها نوشته شده است. در این کتاب، او این مطالعات جدید و اغلب منتشر نشده را با انتشارات گذشته درباره بودونگو ترکیب می کند
جنگل. در صورت لزوم، او همچنین شامپانزههای بودونگو را با شامپانزههای وحشی مورد مطالعه در سایر مکانها در سراسر آفریقا مقایسه میکند. نتیجه جامع ترین گزارشی از شامپانزه های بودونگو است که تا کنون منتشر شده است، با انبوهی از مطالب ارجاع شده که به عنوان منبع اطلاعاتی برای
سالهای زیادی در آینده

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
Unlike humans, who came down from the trees and developed bipedal locomotion, chimpanzees have remained in the original habitat of our ancestors: the tropical rainforests of Africa.
In this book, Vernon Reynolds describes in detail the work of a large number of students and senior researchers on the wild chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest Reserve in Western Uganda. He presents a coherent and in-depth account of one chimpanzee community of more than 60 individuals living in the
Sonso area in the middle of the Budongo Forest, which he and his colleagues have studied intensively over the last 15 years. The chimpanzees have never been provisioned and live in an entirely natural state. Reynolds describes their forest habitat, their diet and culture, their social organization
and behavior, their diseases, and the threats to them that derive from the actions of people in the surrounding villages, the most serious of these being the presence of snares set by hunters to catch small antelopes and pigs.
As founder and head of the Budongo Forest Project, Professor Reynolds has been responsible for compiling the numerous publications, reports, and dissertations written about these chimpanzees. In this book, he combines these new and often unpublished studies with past publications about Budongo
Forest. Where appropriate, he also compares the Budongo chimpanzees with wild chimpanzees studied at other sites across Africa. The result is the most comprehensive account of the Budongo chimpanzees ever published, with a wealth of referenced material that will serve as a source of information for
many years to come.
