Which of the following statements about the common chimp is true?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In approaching this question, we evaluate each statement against what is known about common chimpanzee social structure and dispersal patterns.
Option A: 'Female chimps emigrate at maturity' — This is generally correct. In many chimpanzee communities, females disperse from their natal groups around sexual maturity to avoid inbreeding and to establish new social networks, while males tend to stay within or nearby their birth community. This pattern is a well-documented aspect of chimp society and aligns with observed dispersal behavior.
Option B: 'Males always have exclusive rights to mate with receptive females' — This statement is inaccurate. Chimps are known for their promiscuous mating system in which both males and females mate with multiple partners. No single male has exclusive mating rights, and dominance hierarchies influence access but do not grant exclusive rights to mate with all receptive females.
Option C: 'Chimp society is based around females' — This is misleading. While female social relationships and kin networks are important, chimpanzee societies are not described as being 'based around' females. Male cooperation and rank dynamics among males, along with male-led territorial behavior and alliances, play a central role in group structure and politics.
Option D: 'Chimps form uni-male groups of one mature male and several mature females' — This is incorrect. Common chimpanzee communities are typically multi-male and multi-female, with several mature males and multiple females in each community. Uni-male, multi-female groupings are characteristic of some other primate species (not chimpanzees).
Overall, the only statement that faithfully reflects a true aspect of common chimpanzee social biology is that female chimps emigrate at maturity, while the other options contain inaccuracies about mating patterns, group structure, or the shaping emphasis of their society.
