2000 Conference On Animal Sociality
In August 2000, a conference on Animal Social Complexity and Intelligence was held at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The three-day conference, convened to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Jane Goodall's work in Tanzania on Chimpanzees, gathered together international researchers working on sociality in a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans, primates, other mammals, and birds. The conference proceedings were published as a book in 2003: Animal Social Complexity: Intelligence, Culture, and Individualized Societies, edited by Frans de Waal and Peter L. Tyack.
