Rhythmic behaviors in chimpanzees : Range, functional contexts, sex differences and emotional correlates
There have been recently multiple calls to investigate the rhythmic behaviors (RBs) of nonhuman animals, as a way to gain insight into the evolution of human rhythm cognition and musicality.

Here, we present an observational study conducte
