Like tree nests? No, not really. When we came down out of the trees we mostly switched to caves and ground windbreak shelters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nest-building_in_primates

But we do certainly maintain a living area. If you were dumped in the woods, you’d still clear a space to sleep, make a bed of leaves, and build a windbreak.

Let me start by qualifying that I’m not a biologist nor especially well-read on great apes, but it is a topic that I’m interested in and learn about with some regularity. Shout-out to Gutsick Gibbon.

Homo sapiens don’t really build nests in a traditional sense, because we have permanent homes (generally speaking; homelessness is a big problem). However, I think you could argue that we buy beds as an analog to nests. We often, though not always, put those beds on an upper floor, in a loft, or simply raise them off the ground, much like how great apes put their beds in the trees. We make the bed, and people will go out of their way to pick a nice comforter, pillows, or other items to personalize it. We may not sleep on interwoven branches and leaves, but there is some similarity in how we both treat our “nests.”

Furthermore, we sleep on mattresses, because they tend to give us better quality sleep. Biologists believe that our shared ape ancestors also gained this benefit with their nests, which in turn allowed them to have increased mental acuity and physical readiness. This likely contributed to their ability to survive and adapt.

To me, the only real difference between us is that our tools are simply more highly developed and specialized, but we’re both still using the same idea of “comfortable thing upon which to sleep.”

What do you mean by nesting behaviour?
