  abstract = {{T}his article elaborates a relational historical geography of human, chimpanzee and elephant populations, working mainly from precolonial and early colonial (nineteenth and twentieth century) narratives by travellers to regions now corresponding to parts of {G}uinea, {G}uinea-{B}issau and {S}enegal. {I}t then compares a global '{W}est {A}frican trade' model of human and animal population's spatial distribution with elements of an '{E}ast {A}frican settlement colony' model drawn from other historical research. {T}his perspective balances mainstream evolutionary approaches to animal biogeography with the human history, ecology and the geopolitics of their habitats. {T}aking such historical processes into account helps to unravel contrastive spatial and temporal dynamics of large mammal populations and to raise new questions about the anthropogenic causes of present-day population distributions.},
