    Through studying chimpanzees, this book provides insight into basic human behaviors. The book observes a colony of chimpanzees and details their complex social behaviors, politics, and rivalries. It shows chimpanzees forming alliances and acting out of intelligence rather than instinct. The book argues that chimpanzees exhibit Machiavellian behaviors similar to humans, suggesting the roots of politics predate humanity. The revised edition includes new photos and updates on the chimpanzee colony's continuing power dynamics.

    Chimpanzee Politics: Power And Sex Among Apes

    by Frans De Waal
    The Johns Hopkins University Press | Trade Paperback |
    About
    Details
    The first edition of Frans de Waal''s Chimpanzee Politics was acclaimed not only by
    primatologists for its scientific achievement but also by a much broader audience of politicians,
    business leaders, and social psychologists for its remarkable insights into very basic human
    needs and behaviors. In this revised edition-featuring a new gallery of color photographs along
    with a new introduction and epilogue-de Waal expands and updates his story of the Arnhem
    colony and its continuing political upheavals. We learn the fate of many memorable chimpanzees
    and meet the colony''s current leaders and their allies. The new edition remains a detailed and
    thoroughly engrossing account-of sexual rivalries and coalitions, of actions governed by
    intelligence rather than instinct-and it reaffirms the complex bond between humans and their
    closest living relatives. As we watch the chimpanzees of Arnhem behave in ways we recognize
    from Machiavelli (and from the nightly news), de Waal reminds us again that the roots of politics
    are older than humanity.

    About the Book
    "Precise but eminently readable and indeed exciting... This excellent book achieves the dual goal
    which eludes so many writers about animal behavior -- it will both fascinate the non-specialist
    and be seen as an important contribution to science." -- "Times Literary Supplement"
    From the Publisher

    From Our Editors

    Through the studying of humankind's closest living relative - the Chimpanzee - we are able to
    gain new insight into the complexities and idiosyncrasies of human behaviour. Frans de Waal's
    first edition of Chimpanzee Politics was a remarkable achievement embraced by primatologists,
    politicians and business leaders alike due to its insights. This new edition, with a gallery of
    colour photos along and new introduction, expands on the story of the Arnhem colony of chimps
    and its continual political upheaval. This edition looks at the sexual rivalries and coalitions of the
    colony and at actions influenced not by instinct but by intelligence; behaviour that is
    Machiavellian in nature and is extraordinarily similar to our own. By studying these chimps,
    according to this unique anthropological text, we are studying ourselves.
    Editorial Reviews
    Fascinating to read.

    Precise but eminently readable and indeed exciting... This excellent book achieves the dual goal
    which eludes so many writers about animal behavior-it will both fascinate the non-specialist and
    be seen as an important contribution to science.

    The first edition of Frans de Waal's Chimpanzee Politics was acclaimed not only by primatologists for its
    scientific achievement but also by politicians, business leaders, and social psychologists for its
    remarkable insights into the most basic human needs and behaviors. Twenty-five years later, this book is
    considered a classic. Featuring a new preface that includes recent insights from the author, this
    anniversary edition is a detailed and thoroughly engrossing account of rivalries and coalitionsactions
    governed by intelligence rather than instinct. As we watch the chimpanzees of Arnhem behave in ways
    we recognize from Machiavelli (and from the nightly news), de Waal reminds us again that the roots of
    politics are older than humanity.
