Great find, Gryphen. I might have glossed through it but for the early mention of Yerkes and chimps. I notice the author brought in bonobos & even baboons to illustrate points, but not the most peaceful of the great apes, the gorilla, a true gentle giant. They don't wage opportunistic wars like chimps & rarely have to do more than make a show of force. And I hate to mention, but gorilla society has nothing like gender equality.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to think that only lack of food, fuel or gender equality is keeping us from realizing peace? I guess I am more old school, too fatalistic, but I do live in hope that might be so. Still, absent some huge breakthrough in the food & fuel supply, I think population control might be the key. Terrible to think that war might have always really been about population control.
