Yesterday, spell watching Fareed Zakaria's programme on CNN, I saw his interview alongside Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist who has studied the demeanour of chimpanzees inward their natural habitat. She reminisced virtually her discoveries inward the field, particularly regarding the similarities betwixt chimpanzee as well as human behavior; this includes maternal devotion, empathy, the role of tools as well as a propensity toward violence, amid other characteristics.
Her findings are non surprising since the human lineage diverged from chimpanzees only vi to viii i chiliad m years ago, real recent inward the bridge of natural history. Our ain capacity for violence is all equally good evident though nosotros similar to believe that our superior word protects us from such impulsive as well as vicious behavior.
Then again, our large brains also gave nascence to imagination which, inward turn, led to mysticism, amid the most strong triggers of hatred, discrimination, intolerance as well as fierce demeanour inward human history. Indeed, nosotros are superior to chimpanzees inward many ways, including our achievements inward the fields of slavery, torture, criminality as well as warfare.
