This study, prepared by the observation of 68 chimpanzees in the Kibale National Park (Uganda), was published in the journal Current Biology.

The head of the investigation, the primatologist Richard Wragham said "watch how the branches loaded recalled how the girls play with girls play with dolls as if they were her babies," the paper quoted El Universal.
