Miscellaneous. Male and female through the eyes of a primatologist

In the human world, as in the animal world, the sexes do not behave in the same way. World-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal has spent more than forty years observing apes both in the wild and in research centers. In the pages of the book, he asks the questions that underlie any discussion of gender identity. Drawing analogies between animals and humans, the scientist questions many societal stereotypes about men and women. In particular, can male aggression or a tendency to dominance always be explained by biology? Or is it more socially imposed? The author contrasts the cruelty of chimpanzees with the peacefulness of bonobos, the leadership of males of one species of monkeys with the matriarchy of another. Based on scientific data, de Waal proves that in order to understand the nature that determines the difference between masculinity and femininity, it is necessary to see the diversity of qualities of primates and other mammals, without favoring any gender.
