Female bonobo fishing (Copyright: Zana Clay, LuiKotal Bonobo Project)
Featured blog: Fishing for iodine
Iodine is critical for brain development, especially the higher cognitive functions of the brain. Here, researchers describe how the foraging activities of bonobos in the Congo basin give us an insight into how prehistoric humans obtained this nutrient, and is the first report of iodine consumption by a nonhuman primate.
