Scientists agree that humans are only 2% genetically different from the great apes, chimpanzees, and bonobos. Researchers have recently proven that these apes think, remember, plan, learn, have cultures that vary from group to group and construct complicated, volatile political structures. Enter Frans de Waal, director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes Primate Center. De Waal’s team is proving that apes demonstrate empathy and kindness too, and that they have a sense of fairness and of right and wrong. So what separates humans from other animals? If we’re not distinguished by reason and morality, then what makes us special? And what is the genetic legacy we share with our closest living relatives? What kind of animals are we, and how can we use this information?
