 Current Anthropology - Apes Nest Controversy
Further, Sabater Pi's theory based on trophic pressure is highly questionable, particularly if the night camp of the great apes is not just described in the schematisms of Hediger's terms, but is looked at structurally and spatially and in view of the individuals topologically engaged.
Groves/ Sabater Pi (1985) did not mention the Yerkes (1929) in their study, thus implying that they were the first to give such broad concern to this topic.
Further, Groves' and Sabater Pi's (1985) macrotheoretical connection to more or less temporary 'fixpoints' (Hediger) of modern gatherers and hunters camps and huts ("nests"!) is too narrow and schematic, evidently a biological extrapolation on cultural conditions.
