摘要

在这篇文章中，我研究了灵长类动物、植物和寄生虫之间复杂的相互作用。我们了解了土著居民的民族植物学记录和他们的药用植物，并瞥见了人类和猿在共同使用的生态系统中的相互作用。我把我对自由生活的倭黑猩猩（一种刚果民主共和国特有的物种）的长期研究与历史工作结合起来。我展示了对Manniophyton fulvum的惊人和非凡的摄入，Manniophyton fulvum是一种野生大胡科植物，在非洲广泛使用，具有特定的化学和机械特性，使其适合胃肠道自我保健。

Self-Medication in Humans (Homo sapiens) and Bonobos (Pan paniscus) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

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.

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
