Visit The Author'S Web Site At Www.Ourinnerape.Comits No Secret That Humans And Apes Share A Host Of Traits, From The Tribal Communities We Form To Our Irrepressible Curiosity. We Have A Common Ancestor, Scientists Tell Us, So Its Natural That We Act Alike. But Not All Of These Parallels Are So Appealing: The Chimpanzee, For Example, Can Be As Vicious And Manipulative As Any Human.Yet Theres More To Our Shared Primate Heritage Than Just Our Violent Streak. In Our Inner Ape, Frans De Waal, One Of The Worlds Great Primatologists And A Renowned Expert On Social Behavior In Apes, Presents The Provocative Idea That Our Noblest Qualitiesgenerosity, Kindness, Altruismare As Much A Part Of Our Nature As Are Our Baser Instincts. After All, We Share Them With Another Primate: The Lesserknown Bonobo. As Genetically Similar To Man As The Chimpanzee, The Bonobo Has A Temperament And A Lifestyle Vastly Different From Those Of Its Genetic Cousin. Where Chimps Are Aggressive, Territorial, And Hierarchical, Bonobos Are Gentle, Loving, And Erotic (Sex For Bonobos Is As Much About Pleasure And Social Bonding As It Is About Reproduction).While The Parallels Between Chimp Brutality And Human Brutality Are Easy To See, De Waal Suggests That The Conciliatory Bonobo Is Just As Legitimate A Model To Study When We Explore Our Primate Heritage. He Even Connects Humanitys Desire For Fairness And Its Morality With Primate Behavior, Offering A View Of Society That Contrasts Markedly With The Caricature People Have Of Darwinian Evolution. Its Plain That Our Finest Qualities Run Deeper In Our Dna Than Experts Have Previously Thought.Frans De Waal Has Spent The Last Two Decades Studying Our Closest Primate Relations, And His Observations Of Each Species In Our Inner Ape Encompass The Spectrum Of Human Behavior. This Is An Audacious Book, An Engrossing Discourse That Proposes Thoughtprovoking And Sometimes Shocking Connections Among Chimps, Bonobos, And Those Most Paradoxical Of Apes, Human Beings.
