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 610 $atheory, theoretical, philosophy, philosophical, academic, scholarly, research, intellect, intellectual, monkeys, apes, chimps, animals, nature, natural world, humanity, development, biology, population, size, distribution, homo sapien, primate, success, evolution, food chain, adaptation, survival, study, fieldwork, hierarchies, culture, communication, aggression, dominance. 615 0$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 $a9910782543703321 996 $aMacachiavellian intelligence$93772645 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00811nam a2200253 i 4500 001 991004373119807536 005 20250401104506.0 008 250401m196819..fr er 001 0 fre d 040 $aBibl.
