I have spent over 40 years studying the behavior of our closest living relatives, the apes. In this paper, I review my research on the spacing, mating, and vocal behavior of gibbons and orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ) and the vocal and social behavior of chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ). I devote special attention to results derived from a 25‐year‐long study of a remarkable and extraordinarily large group of chimpanzees that has recently fissioned at Ngogo in Kibale National Park, Uganda. I conclude with some advice for the next generation of field primatologists.
