💨 Abstract

Wild chimps in Guinea Bissau's Cantanhez National Park have been filmed sharing and consuming alcoholic breadfruit. Tests revealed the fruit had a 0.61% alcohol content, potentially providing a buzz when consumed in large quantities. Researchers suggest the chimp's behavior may be a form of social bonding, similar to humans sharing alcohol. This discovery could indicate that the tradition of feasting has deep roots in evolutionary biology.
