Lasting Change Is A Series Of Compromises.

We Learn The Social Norms Of Our Society And Modify Our Behaviour Accordingly.

Chimpanzees Are Incredibly Intelligent. They Can Learn More Than 400 Signs Of American Sign Language. They Have Memories For Spatial Distribution, Like Numbers On A Tv Screen, Way Better Than Ours. You Come Onto The Emotions: Happiness, Sadness, Fear, And Despair - All The Things For Which I Was Accused Of Being Anthropomorphic When I Ascribed Them To Chimpanzees.

When You Borrow You Plan To Pay Back. We're Stealing From Our Children - So Many People Have No Intention Of Paying Back.

It's The Bond Between Mother And Child, Which Is Really For Us And For Chimps And Other Primates, The Root Of All The Expressions Of Social Behavior.

And I Thought How Sad It Was That, For All Our Sophisticated Intellect, For All Our Noble Aspirations, Our Aggressive Behavior Was Not Just Similar In Many Ways To That Of The Chimpanzees - It Was Even Worse. Worse Because Human Beings Have The Potential To Rise Above Their Baser Instincts, Whereas Chimpanzees Probably Do Not.
