Our Inner Ape
A primatologist examines the dual nature of humanity by comparing our behavior with that of our closest relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos. The book explores how traits like aggression, empathy, power politics, and reconciliation in ape societies illuminate the evolutionary roots of human morality, social structure, and conflict.
