Our Inner Ape: A Leading Primatologist Explains Why We Are Who We Are
by Frans de Waal
by Frans de Waal
Very interesting information about research on ape behavior, mostly chimpanzees and bonobos. Their social behaviors are strikingly similar to human behaviors and the author points these out, though not in a simple-minded "We are just apes" manner.
The book doesn't come to a conclusion about any meaning of human/ape similarities, but focuses more on the wonderment of all the shared behaviors and social structures. Very enjoyable and thought-provoking.
