Old bonobos get long-sighted, and their social lives suffer for it

They have noticed the chimpanzees struggling to focus during grooming. Older bonobos tend to lean back and try to groom at arm’s length, the researchers say, showing behaviour that is reminiscent of older people struggling to read small print. Nov 7, 2016
