We have long attributed man's violent, aggressive, competitive nature to his animal ancestry. But what if we are just as given to cooperation, empathy, and morality by virtue of our genes? What if our behavior actually makes us apes? What kind of apes are we? From a scientist and writer E. O. Wilson has called "the world authority on primate social behavior" comes a fascinating look at the most provocative aspects of human nature-power, sex, violence, kindness, and morality-through our two closest cousins in the ape family. For nearly twenty years, Frans de Waal has worked with both the famously aggressive chimpanzee and the lesser-known egalitarian, erotic, matriarchal bonobo, two species whose DNA is nearly identical to that of humans. De Waal shows the range of human behavior through his study of chimpanzees and bonobos, drawing from their personalities, relationships, power struggles, and high jinks important insights about our human behavior. The result is an engrossing and surprising narrative that reveals what their behavior can teach us about our own nature. "An informative and engaging work." --Library Journal "De Waal offers vivid, often delightful stories of politics, sex, violence and kindness in the ape communities he has studied to illustrate such questions as why we are irreverent toward the powerful and whether men or women are better at conflict resolution."--Publishers Weekly "Never has he [de Waal] written better on his great theme than in this absorbing overview of power, sex, violence, and kindness among apes--and humans."--Booklist "Sklar adds just a touch of a smile to his sonorous voice, conveying friendliness, warmth, and humor."--AudioFile Magazine… (mere)

الغنى بالمعلومات والبعد الفلسفي للنقاش العلمي تجعله أحد الكتب التي تدخلك في حالة من الصفن والتفكر بعد الانتهاء منها.
يتناول بشكل رئيسي القواسم المشتركة بين القردة العليا ومن ضمنها الأخلاق التي تبين أنها ليست حكراً على البشر، بل راسخة بعمق في تراثنا الحيواني مثل العدوانية والسلوك التنافسي.
نحن البشر نعتقد بسذاجة أننا نتخذ القرارات الأخلاقية اعتماداً على المنطق العقلاني والإرادة الحرة. إذا كان الأمر كذلك، فسيلزم تفعيل القشرة الدماغية. ولكن عند فحص دماغ الإنسان في مواجهة معضلة أخلاقية، لوحظ نشاط مناطق أعمق في الدماغ - تلك التي نشترك فيها مع الرئيسات الأخرى. يناقش أيضاً كيف أن كراهية الأجانب جزء من تركيبنا التطوري، ما يجعل الحجج المنطقية غير نافعة في مواجهة هذا الفكر.

> L'HOMME ENTRE CHIMPANZÉ ET BONOBO. — L'Homme ne partage pas seulement avec ses plus proches cousins primates - le chimpanzé et le bonobo - la quasi-totalité de ses gênes (99%) mais aussi une grande partie de ses comportements. Tel est le constat de Frans de Waal après une vie d'observation au sein de différents groupes de singes. A travers les grands thèmes du pouvoir, de la sexualité, de la violence et de l'empathie et par l'utilisation de nombreuses anecdotes souvent étonnantes, l'auteur démontre que l'amitié, la vengeance, la sexualité atypique et même les combinaisons politiques appartiennent aussi à d'autres espèces. Chacune n'en possède pas moins aussi ses spécificités, et l'être humain peut être vu comme un mélange du chimpanzé "violent" et du bonobo "pacifiste" et "libidineux" (caricatures que l'auteur prend soin de délimiter).
Cet ouvrage enrichissant permet donc de se faire une plus juste vision de l'Homme et de ses cousins. Il permet aussi de dépasser certains stéréotypes tel celui d'une nature humaine "égoïste" trop souvent mis en avant en sciences humaines.

I have learned a little bit about other primates but nothing about humans so I feel cheated by the title. I suspect the title was designed to do that. ( )

Read. This was a very interesting book. Talked alot about the historical development of Chimpanzees, bonobos, gorilla (some), and humans.

As a leading primatologist, Mr. Waal has studied chimps and apes for years. He shares his findings on primate behaviour with the reader and draws astounding parallels to human behaviour. He shares personal experiences with the reader as well as some groundbreaking studies done in the field.

Although the book deals with science, psychology and behaviour it is insightful and not at all what I would consider a “dry read”. It really does not matter if your beliefs lean towards creationism or evolution, this book is informative and enjoyable.

It is often thought that survival of the fittest means wiping out the unfit. But one can also win the evolutionary race by having a superior immune system or by being better at finding food. (Chap. 1 “Apes in the Family”)
In a Moscow laboratory I once saw a remarkable reconstruction of a Neanderthal face based on a skull. The scientists confided that they had never dared publicize the bust due to its uncanny resemblance to one of their country's leading politicians, who might not have appreciated the comparison. (Chap. 1 “Apes in the Family”)
If conflict is like bad weather, women try to stay out of it whereas men buy an umbrella. Women are peacekeepers, men peacemakers. Women's friendships are often see as more profound and intimate than men's […] Like Mama and Kuif in the Arnhem [chimpanzee] colony, they avoid confrontation at all cost. Women are extremely good at this as evident from the lasting bonds they enjoy. But the depth of the relationships also means that if a fight does erupt, they're unable to say “nothing personal.” Everything is intensely personal. This makes stepping back from discord, once it has burst through the surface, harder than for men. (Chap. 4, “Violence”)
Humanity's special place in the cosmos is one of abandoned claims and moving goal posts. (Chap. 5, “Kindness”)
In 1879, American economist Francis Walker tried to explain why members of his profession were in such “bad odor amongst real people.” He blamed it on their inability to understand why human behavior fails to comply with economic theory. We do not always act the way economists think we should, mainly because we're both less selfish and less rational than economists think we are. Economists are being indoctrinated into a cardboard version of human nature, which they hold true to such a degree that their own behavior has begun to resemble it. Psychological tests have shown that economics majors are more egoistic than the average college student. (Chap. 6, “The Bipolar Ape”)
