During the past 30 years, he has conducted fieldwork on the behavior of all five species of apes: gibbons and orangutans in Asia and bonobos, gorillas, and chimpanzees in Africa. Since 1995 he has directed a long-term study of the behavior of chimpanzees living in an unusually large community at Ngogo, Kibale National Park, Uganda. His current research involves studies of male chimpanzee social behavior.
