This article is about similarities between humans and primates. Richard Conniff, a specialist in animal behavior, found some similarities in terms of cooperation&conflict, the value of networking, the importance of hierarchies and the limits of aggression.
First, both primates and humans are essentially social creatures. They live cooperatively and normally not oppositively. Because that attitude leads to surviving and succeeding for both of them. Second, they also try to create tight relationship with their friends for the various purposes. Third, they made hierarchies themselves naturally and effectively. Their rank considerably influences their behavior to other in higher of lower rank. At last, both humans and primates come into conflict sometimes to assert themselves or gain status. Conniff, however, said conflict and aggression make humans or primates isolated.
It was very interesting that chimpanzee and I have very many similarities in various aspects. And I reconfirmed cooperation is the best way to succeed and survive in society.
