Socialism cannot function, because its economic reward structure is contrary to human nature.

Male bonobos really don't fit the human male ideal.

It is not only visitors to the zoo who are fascinated but uneasy in the presence of chimpanzees; the same is true of scientists. The more they learn about these great apes, the deeper our identity crisis seems to become. The resemblance between humans and chimpanzees is not only external. If we look straight and deep into a chimpanzee’s eyes, an intelligent, self-assured personality looks back at us. If they are animals, what must we be?

The more self-aware an animal is, the more empathetic it tends to be.

Armies are a purely human invention. Most soldiers who go to war nowadays don't even do it because they're inherently aggressive.

We are by far the most contradictory of all primates. An animal with this much internal conflict has never lived on this earth.

The chimpanzees could tear me apart in no time. They're many times stronger than we are.
