Esteemed Dutch primatologist Hans de Waal explores the various social traits that humans share with two primate species closely related to humans: not only the often violent, male-dominated chimpanzees, but a lesser-known species--the gentle, female-dominated, highly sexualized bonobos. De Waal torpedoes the popular belief that only the more negative aspects of the human personality can be attributed to our ape ancestors, and provides numerous anecdotes from and documented research into both human and primate behavior demonstrating that humans and apes have cooperation, compassion, and altruism in common as well as the more "brutish" traits of cruelty and violence toward others.
