The origins are origins… and today’s battles may have – and surely will be so – the current civilization has an origin in the apes… Because the Science magazine has revealed a study done in Uganda in which there is a real pitched battle. Specifically of the so-called Ngogo group, which lives in the Kibale National Park. Between two groups of chimpanzees. In which force and revenge are the order of the day to exercise dominance in the area. What could be supplanted by what is happening today in the world with so many war conflicts…
Saying study has been carried out over the last 30 years on the largest known group of chimpanzees and has found a very unusual phenomenon. There is a “civil war” among these primates.

Everything arose from the natural coexistence of everyone. Because There were at least 200 primates in said colony that lived, ate, and reproduced together… but a change has been detected since 2015. They began to emerge two “polarized groups.” And they have ended up killing each other to exercise their power over each other. “What is especially striking is that the chimpanzees are killing former members of the group” and new group identities annul the cooperative relationships that had existed for years,” said University of Texas researcher Aaron Sandel, the main author of the article.
A conflict that lasts 500 years in 500 years
It is a phenomenon that It only occurs every 500 years and has never been scientifically documented until today with the latest studies. that have been done conscientiously and leave the meaning of everything as a basis. That of control, that of ambitions… the origin of everything.
The origin of this conflict comes from the fact that these two groups began to launch “coordinated and sustained attacks” against the other, resulting in the death of several adult males, and As of 2021, the conflict led to “frequent infanticide.” The balance: seven males and 17 calvesalthough researchers believe the number could be significantly higher.
What this conflict leaves are reflections about the roots of war and peace in evolution. And what happens today and where everything comes from. “A hostile split among wild chimpanzees reminds us of the danger that group divisions can pose to human societies”wrote James Brooks, a scientist at the German Primate Center, in an article published in the same magazine.
