Peacemaking among primates
Book • 1988
In 'Peacemaking among Primates', Frans de Waal explores the complex social behaviors of primates, focusing on how they cope with aggression and reconcile after conflicts.
The book examines five species—chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys, stump-tailed monkeys, bonobos, and humans—highlighting their distinct methods of peacemaking, such as hugs, grooming, and sexual behavior.
De Waal argues that these strategies can inform human conflict resolution by showing that making peace is as natural as making war.
