Résumé
One of the world's great primatologists and a renowned expert on social behavior in apes presents the provocative idea that our noblest qualities-generosity, kindness, altruism-are as much a part of our nature as our baser instincts. 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 and loving.
While the parallels between chimp brutality and human brutality are easy to see, Frans de Waal suggests that the conciliatory bonobo is just as legitimate a model to study when we explore our primate heritage. He even connects humanity's 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.
It's plain that our finest qualities run deeper in our DNA than experts have previously thought. Frans de Waal has spent 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 thought-provoking and sometimes shocking connections among chimps, bonobos, and those most paradoxical of apes, human beings.
