Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes » (1st Edition)

Frans de Waal is C. H. Candler Professor of Primate Behavior at Emory University and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center. His books include Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, Peacemaking among Primates, and Good Natured: The Origins of Right and Wrong in Humans and Other Animals.

"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

(Politics and the Life Sciences) - Roger Masters

Frans de Waal's Chimpanzee Politics is a classic. It should be required reading in any undergraduate course which purports to deal with human nature from an evolutionary perspective.
