Princeton University's Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture Series welcomes anthropologist Jill Pruetz for a public talk on chimpanzee life on the West African savanna. Pruetz directs the Fongoli Savanna Chimpanzee Project in Senegal, where her research examines how wild chimpanzees adapt to challenging environments and what their behavior reveals about human evolutionary origins.
