- What impact does food availability, predictability and seasonality have on intra-group cohesion in Pan species?
- What impact does food availability, predictability and seasonality have on levels of inter-group lethality in Pan species?
- Does habituation/regular human contact provide competitive advantage during inter-group conflict in Pan species?
This PhD aims to answer the above questions, in doing so predicting how wide scale climate disruption and global change will impact levels of lethality between and within Pan groups, ultimately shedding light on how early Hominin communities may have coped with large scale disruption to food and water supplies: When resources run out, what happens to Homininin communities?
