Paths shared between people (Homo sapiens sapiens) and dogs (Canis familiaris): From aid therapy partners to friends and family members
Dogs (Canis familiaris) were the first domesticated species and today, they still have a central role in our societies. Integrated in the post-humanistic approach, we aimed to understand the evolution of the different social roles assumed by dogs, specifically, aid therapy dogs (ATD) that warn human diabetics of the changes that occur in their blood glycemia. Our main objective was to see if at some point in these shared paths, ATD would start be…
Antropologia multi-espécie: Breves Perspetivas Teóricas Do Antropocentrismo À Aceitação Da Subjetividade Não Humana
O presente trabalho visa – ainda que de forma resumida – refletir sobre as origens teóricas e sobre o desenvolvimento da antropologia multiespécies. A nossa breve “viagem” tem como ponto de partida o paradigma do excepcionalismo humano e o olhar antropocêntrico sobre a relação entre o ser humano e a restante natureza. Este olhar, tendo constituído o paradigma central das origens da disciplina antropológica, é o resultado de formas de olhar e inte…

Crime ou desordem de acumulação de animais? O papel das redes sociais no entendimento dos acontecimentos de Santo Tirso
Na madrugada de 19 de Julho (2020). em Santo Tirso (Portugal), um fogo florestal atingiu dois abrigos ilegais para animais de companhia. Meia centena morreu. Foram resgatados com vida 110 nào-humanos. As informações veiculadas pelos media indicam a possibilidade de estarmos perante um caso de acumulação de animais. Tendo por base as publicações de Facebook relacionadas com o incidente de duas das maiores organizações portuguesas defensoras da cau…
Ele é meu filho: Sobre o significado das aves
Os outros animais estão presentes na vida dos seres humanos assumindo vários papéis e significados pelo menos desde o Paleolítico: trabalho, alimentação, companhia, poder, estatuto social. À semelhança de outros países europeus, a presença de 'animais de companhia' nas casas das famílias portuguesas tem vindo a crescer, sendo que eram já mais de 7 milhões de espécimes em 2018. Embora não tão numerosas como os gatos ou os cães, as aves são comuns.…
Chasing a ghost: Notes on the present distribution and conservation of the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa
The West-African sooty mangabey ( Cercocebus atys ) is threatened by habitat loss, hunting for meat consumption, and mortality during crop-foraging events. The species’ overall demographic trend is unknown. Presence and distribution in Guinea-Bissau, a country neighbored by Senegal and Republic of Guinea, was confirmed in 1946 but the species was declared extinct in 1989 and not observed in subsequent countrywide expeditions. Narratives of its pr…
What Does Conservation Mean for Women? the Case of the Cantanhez Forest National Park
Community-based conservation programmes need to engage the support of all its members. Gender is a key component in shaping attitudes about conservation, and lack of attention to gender differences in perceptions can work against the aims of community-based conservation actions and initiatives. We present a study of the obstacles to women's participation in conservation strategies associated with Cantanhez Forest National Park (CFNP), in Guinea-B…

Chimpanzee oil‐palm use in southern Cantanhez National Park, Guinea‐Bissau
Cantanhez National Park in southern Guinea‐Bissau is a mosaic of forest, mangrove, savanna, and agricultural fields, with a high prevalence of oil‐palm trees ( Elaeis guineensis ). It hosts many different animal species, including the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ). Very little is known about the ecology of chimpanzees inhabiting this area. The main aims of this study were to evaluate chimpanzee nesting behavior, define trends of habitat us…
Evolution, primates and Charles Darwin
Res_por:Em plenas celebracoes mundiais do “Ano de Darwin 2009” e respondendo ao desafio colocado pela Antropologia Portuguesa, este trabalho pretende realcar o pensamento inovador de Charles Darwin e, simultaneamente, descrever algumas das mais significativas descobertas do registo fossil de primatas. Assim, este artigo nao e um trabalho classico de revisao bibliografica ou um artigo com uma estrutura frequente no mundo das revistas cientificas q…
Innovative social behavior in chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
We present evidence of agonistic buffering in captive chimpanzees, recorded from 1993 until 2005, mainly from ad libitum sampling in over 2000 hr of observation. A total of 33 agonistic buffering episodes were analyzed for context and effects of this complex social behavior. Agonistic buffering was directed at the whole chimpanzee colony as they supported an individual who initially received aggression from the alpha male, independently of the vi…
Are great apes aggressive? A cross‐species comparison
This paper aims to characterise the aggressive behaviour of great apes: the orang‐utan, the gorilla, the chimpanzee and the bonobo. We start by discussing the lack of consensual definitions for terms such as violence, aggression and agonistic behaviour. Secondly, we describe the evidence of aggression in each species. Finally we describe several referential models developed to explain the way of life and aggressive behaviour of the first hominins…
