About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing conflict among a community of chimpanzees in Kibale National Park and the potential influence of social media on their behavior.
It's been years since the Kibale National Park saw peace. For nearly a decade, a once-friendly community of Ngogo chimpanzees have been locked in bloody combat against one another. The reasons why are unknown. But one thing is (possibly) for sure... Some of the older chimps have been brainwashed by Facebook AI slopaganda.
