The Economic Strategies of Chimp Empires.

Netflix's docuseries Chimp Empire shows the economics of chimpanzees, with the Central and Western chimp clans competing for the ownership of scarce fruit trees, their primary source of sustenance. The apes also display other behaviors that are interesting from an economic perspective, such as alpha males using the spoils from their group's hunts strategically and a grooming barter system that communicates power, kinship, and rank. Recent experiments have found that chimps are actually more generous and social than once thought, and even display the same behavioral quirks as humans, such as the endowment effect.
