Synopsis
Primatologist Frans de Waal questions our human belief in the inherent cruelty of the animal kingdom, which we have ruthlessly assumed to be governed by the law of "survival of the fittest." As de Waal reports, this fallacy is yet another case of anthropocentrism, as people have attempted to justify their own belligerent tendencies by citing their inherent nature. While the natural world is certainly marked by aggressive competition, de Waal cites recent experiments which clearly show that primates (including people), as well as dolphins, dogs, elephants and even rats consistently demonstrate another defining behavioral trait--empathy. In fact, de Waal argues, if more people aped the apes, in terms of their benevolent behaviors, we would live on a more peaceful planet.

Industry Reviews
"[A]nimals participate in dynamic societies made up of individuals, and their lives are replete with feelings, decisions, and intentions, rooted in biology yet elaborated in cooperative--and competitive--interaction. By comparing their worlds, with each other and with our own, de Waal explains, we can learn about the true anatomy of the social psyche. The result should deliver a jolt: Nature isn't so red in tooth and claw, and civilization may not be so neatly edifying."
