Kim是一個27歲很漂亮的英格蘭女生，
也是馬田先生一群心理學家朋友裡頭，專門研究黑猩猩的人，
很難想像長長頭髮很秀氣的她之前經年駐紮在非洲的研究據點做研究，
’去非洲安全第一喔!入夜之後不要到處走。’
Kim在Anna今年八月前去非洲前給了許多寶貴的經驗分享。
Kim的研究在英國發表之後，獲得媒體的關注與興趣，
不止平面媒體報導，連discovery都專門來採訪她。
看到新聞之後，才赫然想起她們之前在酒吧裡酒酣耳熱之際討論的話題，
身在一群學者中間，還真是非常特別的經驗呢!

Title :Chimp Cross Code
Date released: Tuesday 5 September 2006
In a finding that broadens our understanding of primate cooperation, research by the University of Stirling has found that chimpanzees evaluate road risk and adopt specific spatial patterning when crossing roads.
Researcher Kimberley Hockings said: “Prior research has shown that adult male monkeys reduce the risks of predatory attacks through adaptive spatial patterning, moving toward the front of the group when travelling towards potentially unsafe areas such as waterholes, and bringing up the rear when retreating, but comparable data on great ape progression orders are lacking. Road-crossing, a human-created challenge, presents a new situation that calls for flexibility of responses by chimpanzees to variations in perceived risk, helping to improve our understanding about the evolution of human social organisation.”
Road-crossing order was studied in a small community of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) at Bossou, Guinea, West Africa as they crossed two roads, one large and busy with traffic, and the other smaller and frequented mostly by pedestrians. Adult males, less fearful and more physically imposing than other group members, take up forward and rearward positions, with adult females and young occupying the more protected middle positions. The positioning of dominant and bolder individuals, in particular the alpha male, changed depending on both the degree of risk and number of adult males present.
Kimberley Hockings said: “Dominant individuals act cooperatively with a high level of flexibility to maximise group protection.”
