🇺🇬 A group of 200 chimps in Uganda lived together for 20 years, dominated rival groups, expanded their territory, and thrived.
Then their social bridges died, a new alpha rose to power, and within three years the group split in two.
By 2018, former allies were killing each other.
They started with adult males, then moved on to infants.
Over 24 dead and counting.
Researchers said they were "victims of their own success."
A species that shares 98% of our DNA tearing itself apart over power, territory, and resources.
If that doesn't sound familiar, you're not paying attention.
