Previous studies of animal behavior incline us to answer yes, but the message of this book is considerably more optimistic. Without denying our heritage of aggressive behavior, Frans de Waal describes powerful checks and balances in the makeup of our closest animal relatives, and in so doing he shows that to humans making peace is as natural as making war. In this meticulously researched and absorbing account, we learn in detail how different types of simians cope with aggression, and how they make peace after fights. Chimpanzees, for instance, reconcile with a hug and a kiss, whereas rhesus monkeys groom the fur of former adversaries. By objectively examining the dynamics of primate social interactions, de Waal makes a convincing case that confrontation should not be viewed as a barrier to sociality but rather as an unavoidable element upon which social relationships can be built and strengthened through reconciliation. The author examines five different species?chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, stump-tailed monkeys, bonobos, and humans?and relates anecdotes, culled from exhaustive observations, that convey the intricacies and refinements of simian behavior. Each species utilizes its own unique peacemaking strategies. The bonobo, for example, is little known to science, and even less to the general public, but this rare ape maintains peace by means of sexual behavior divorced from reproductive functions; sex occurs in all possible combinations and positions whenever social tensions need to be resolved. ?Make love, not war? could be the bonobo slogan. De Waal?s demonstration of reconciliation in both monkeys and apes strongly supports his thesis that forgiveness and peacemaking are widespread among nonhuman primates?an aspect of primate societies that should stimulate much needed work on human conflict resolution. 606 $aPrimates$xBehavior 606 $aReconciliation in animals 615 0$aPrimates$xBehavior. 615 0$aReconciliation in animals. 676 $a599.8/0451 686 $aCZ 8000$2rvk 700 $aDe Waal$b Frans$f1948-2024.$01865448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962206103321 996 $aPeacemaking among primates$94472542 997 $aUNINA
