Summary of ”Our Inner Ape” by Frans de Waal
Publisher Description
QuickRead presents a summary of "Our Inner Ape" by Frans de Waal:
If you've ever wanted to unlock the moral, sexual, and evolutionary origins of your inner ape, leading primatologist Frans de Waal's analysis can take you on a revolutionary journey.
We're all familiar with the evolutionary principle which posits that humans evolved from primates, but de Waal uses his expertise in primatology to explore this concept in greater detail. Arguing that humans are just as closely related to the gentle bonobo species as their aggressive counterparts, the Chimpanzees, de Waal compares and contrasts the two primates and argues that their lifestyles and sexual behavior has a great deal to teach us about the origins of human morality.
