Zusammenfassung
In this article I engage with the complex interplay of primates, plants and parasites. We learn about the ethnobotanical records of an indigenous population and their medicinal plants, and get a glimpse into the interplay of man and ape in a jointly used ecosystem. I combine my long-term research on free-living bonobos, a species endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with historical work. I show the surprising and extraordinary ingestion of Manniophyton fulvum, a wild Euphorbiaceae plant widely used across Africa, bearing specific chemical and mechanical properties that make it suitable for gastro-intestinal self-care.
Zusammenfassung in einer weiteren Sprache
Cet article nous guide dans l’interaction complexe des primates, des plantes et des parasites. Nous découvrons le savoir ethnobotanique d’une population indigène et de ses plantes médicinales, et avons un aperçu de l’interaction entre l’homme et le grand singe dans un écosystème utilisé conjointement. L’auteur combine de manière convaincante ses recherches de longue haleine sur les bonobos vivant en liberté, une espèce endémique de la République démocratique du Congo, avec des travaux historiques. Elle montre l’ingestion surprenante et extraordinaire de Manniophyton fulvum, une plante sauvage des Euphorbiaceae largement utilisée à travers l’Afrique, dotée de propriétés chimiques et mécaniques spécifiques qui la rendent adaptée à l’automédication gastro-intestinale.
