Great apes: what we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research

Leipzig Zoo in central Germany is a world-leading centre of great ape research. Recent studies have seen chimpanzees there using touchscreen controls to navigate virtual forests and locate food rewards – applying similar techniques to what they would use in the wild.
Other research (of which I was part) has investigated chimpanzees’ social curiosity.
