    22. Jane Goodall's team observed a whole series of similar incidents in the Gombe

    reserve.  One family of chimpanzee females made a regular habit of killing and

    eating their rivals' infants.  (Jane Goodall, "Life And Death at Gombe," pp.

    616-620.)

    23. Graves' historical novels are noted for their solid research.  Benet's Reader's

    Encyclopedia lauds them for their "scholarly" content.  (Benet's Reader's

    Encyclopedia: Third Edition, Harper & Row, New York, 1987, p. 402.)

    25. Wolfram Eberhard, A History of China, p. 121. The instances of females who

    become bloodthirsty so they can put their own children on top is endless.   The

    dominant female cape hunting dog, for example, establishes herself at the pinnacle

    of the pack and gives birth to a litter of pups.  Then, if a lower-ranking female has

    the audacity to produce offspring of her own, the top-ranking lady turns killer.  She

    leads her packmates in a puppy-killing frenzy--utterly eliminating the offspring of her

    rival.  (Daniel G. Freedman, Human Sociobiology: A Holistic Approach, p. 31.)
