De aap in ons

His insights into primate behavior challenge many assumptions about human nature. I'm curious what motivated him to focus on this connection and how he approached making it accessible.

The book makes strong cases for our shared traits, but it also made me reflect on how much of our behavior is rooted in evolution. How did others feel about these comparisons?

There are so many fascinating behaviors in the book—I'm wondering how Frans de Waal chose which examples best illustrate his points about human nature.
