An example of Human conflict as a wild adolescent male chimpanzee from the Bossou study group checks out a local hut.

---

Human conflict. "Pele", adolescent male of the Bossou study group checks out one of the local human population's huts, possibly for something to steal. Luckily for him the locals believe that the chimpanzees are embodiment of their own ancestors and do not harm them. That premise leads to greater bravery on the part of the chimps, and so examples of human conflict such as this. Guinea, West Africa.
