Fascinating book! Recommended for anyone interested in psychology, sociology or human behavior...should be pretty much all of us. :)

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.

um livro interessante, considerando que é uma obra publicada em 2005 com referenciais anteriores à isso.
não concordo em tudo que o autor coloca como comentário social, mas me interessei muito pela parte comportamental dos grandes primatas não humanos.

THIS IS A SUPER FUN BOOKS, with alot of descriptions of the behaviors of Chimpazees and Bonobos; how they resolve conflict, and how they are bound to each other by various social means. we can choose to look at our own social behaviors with a new interesting light with some other information given in the book i think,..
Leuke anekdotes maar soms te langdradig. Om apengedrag direct te koppelen aan menselijk gedrag vind ik te voorbarig, maar het geeft wel stof tot nadenken.
Persoonlijk vind ik het andere werk van Frans de Waal beter.

Very insightful and full of fascinating examples from his scientific experiences. It certainly made me think twice about some behaviors. This was an enjoyable read that made you want to chat with others about it.
As is typical of this kind of research, some anecdotes have to be taken with a grain of salt and do not PROVE anything, but it certainly can offer indirect evidence of why humans might act the way they do.
