Abstract: A negative relationship with caregivers early in life known as ‘disorganized attachment’ has disruptive long-term consequences in humans. Rolland et al. find no evidence for this relationship pattern in free (that is, wild) chimpanzees in their natural environment, which underscores its maladaptive nature and indicates the role of context in shaping caregiver–infant relations.
