A close second, however, would be rhesus macaques, who have adapted to-and thrived in-such diverse environments as mountain forests, dry grasslands, and urban sprawl. Scientists have spent countless hours studying these opportunistic monkeys, but rhesus macaques have long been overshadowed in the public eye by the great apes, who, because of their greater intelligence, are naturally assumed to have more to teach us, both about other primates and about humans as well. Dario Maestripieri thinks it is high time we shelve that misperception, and with Macachiavellian Intelligence he gives rhesus macaques their rightful turn in the spotlight. The product of more than twenty years studying these fascinating creatures, Macachiavellian Intelligence caricatures a society that is as much human as monkey, with hierarchies and power struggles that would impress Machiavelli himself. High-status macaques, for instance, maintain their rank through deft uses of violence and manipulation, while altruism is almost unknown and relationships are perpetually subject to the cruel laws of the market. Throughout this eye-opening account, Maestripieri weds his thorough knowledge of macaque behavior to his abiding fascination with human society and motivations. The result is a book unlike any other, one that draws on economics as much as evolutionary biology, politics as much as primatology. Rife with unexpected connections and peppered with fascinating anecdotes, Macachiavellian Intelligence has as much to teach us about humans as it does about macaques, presenting a wry, rational, and wholly surprising view of our humanity as seen through the monkey in the mirror. 606 $aRhesus monkey$xBehavior 606 $aRhesus monkey$xPsychology 606 $aMachiavellianism (Psychology) 606 $aSocial behavior in animals 606 $aPsychology, Comparative 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRhesus monkey$xBehavior. 615 0$aRhesus monkey$xPsychology. 615 0$aMachiavellianism (Psychology) 615 0$aSocial behavior in animals. 615 0$aPsychology, Comparative. 676 $a599.8/64315 700 $aMaestripieri$b Dario$0525108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454136603321 996 $aMacachiavellian intelligence$92146671 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01851nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910790455203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-61470-229-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000149079 035 $a(EBL)3019539 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000691344 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12303646 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000691344 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10629472 035 $a(PQKB)10500918 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3019539 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3019539 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10671104 035 $a(OCoLC)776163575 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000149079 100 $a20100702d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMechanical vibration methods for studying physical properties of solid materials$b[electronic resource] /$fY.
