This is only the second chimpanzee civil war ever documented. The first was Gombe, 1974. Fifty years apart. Genetic data suggests chimp communities split roughly once every 500 years.
Gombe was 9 males breaking off from a group of about 60. The splinter faction was hunted down over four years. Every male killed. Goodall had nightmares about it for decades.
Ngogo is operating at a completely different scale. 200 chimps. The largest studied community on Earth. They functioned as one unit for 20 years, shared territory, ran border patrols together, fought neighboring groups side by side. Then in 2015 something snapped. Five key males died, possibly from disease. Those males were the social bridges between two clusters. Once the connective tissue disappeared, the cliques hardened.
By 2017 they occupied separate territories and patrolled borders against each other. By 2018 the killing started. 28 dead so far, 19 of them infants. The Western faction, despite being smaller, initiated every attack. They ripped infants from mothers. The lead researcher calls himself a war correspondent.
The part that rewrites the textbook: no ethnic divisions, no religion, no ideology, no resource scarcity. Just a social network that lost its bridge nodes. The researchers think the same mechanic explains human civil wars better than cultural theories do. Polarization isn't about beliefs. It's about who stopped talking to whom.
be on the Coast because if it is an uncontested matter in Texas it should not run you any more than 10k at the most, obviously depending on the complexity of the assets.
This is alittle misleading to those of us who live in states, such as Texas, which does not have inheritance tax nor estate tax and we do not go over the federal exemption which is north of 30 mil for a married couple. further 100k for probate? this must ....
If you die without a plan...
- The government takes 40% in tax
- Probate court costs $100k+
- Your kids get the scraps
If you love your family, here's every document you need to protect them:
(from a CPA & father of two)
1) Emergency Access List
This should include:
-> All bank account numbers
-> Investment account logins
-> Life insurance policies
-> 401k/IRA beneficiaries
-> Safe deposit box location
-> Password manager master code
Keep a digital & physical version for safety...
And make sure your spouse has access.
2) Legal Documents
-> Will (name guardians for kids)
-> Durable Power of Attorney
-> Healthcare Power of Attorney
-> Living Will/Healthcare Directive
Setting all of this up costs about $500...
($1,500 with an attorney)
But without them, the state decides everything.
3) Money Protection
Your family will need time to mourn.
Make sure they can do it without going broke:
-> Term life insurance (10x income)
-> Emergency fund (6-12 mo in a HYSA)
-> Retirement accounts with spouse access
4) The "First 48 Hours" Sheet
Write down clear instructions for your family:
Call this attorney: [Name/Number]
Call this CPA: [Name/Number]
File life insurance claim here: [Details]
Don't touch investments for 6 months
All bills are on autopay from [Account]
Grief destroys decision making.
This protects them.
5) Business Owner Addition
If you have a business, set up:
-> Buy sell agreements
-> Key person insurance
-> Business succession plan
-> Separate LLC owned by trust
If your company can't survive without you...
It's a 9-5 with extra steps.
6) Trust Setup
A proper trust can save your family $400k+ in probate costs.
But 90% of them are set up wrong:
-> Assets never get transferred in
-> Beneficiaries aren't updated
-> Pour-over will is missing
Here's how to fix that:
"Bulletproof" Trust System:
1) Revocable Living Trust
-> Avoids probate completely
-> Keeps finances private
-> Protects kids' inheritance
2) Pour-Over Will
-> Catches forgotten assets
3) Guardian Designation
-> Who raises your kids
-> How they get paid
Setting this up takes a weekend...
But ignoring it could cost your family everything.
So start before you're ready...
Because no one plans on dying.
Hope this helps!
Share with your spouse if you want to set this up...
