This article has been edited since I first looked at it around 2013. At that time, there were other explicit descriptions of the violence - chimps killing and eating infants from the other group, and beatings and rape of females. This New Scientist article has more details: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22229682.600-only-known-chimp-war-reveals-how-societies-splinter https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22229682.600-only-kno...

The newscientific's article has more information. But I think the documented case of eating chimps children is from another place. And this is the revision that did that remove the rape part: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gombe_Chimpanzee_War&type=revision&diff=649596805&oldid=633464265 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gombe_Chimpanzee_... The comment is: > The war: Second paragraph. Chimps were not raped. No where does this reference occur in Goodall's articles or any other Gombe researcher. The source seems to be the Morris reference. I don't know where they got that.
