Dutch primatologist and ethologist renowned for his research on primate behavior, empathy, and morality in animals.
We are not as different from animals as we used to think. The differences are ones of degree, not kind
Empathy is a skill that we all have, and it can be learned and developed throughout our lives
Animals understand fairness and they react negatively when treated unjustly compared to others
Chimpanzees have culture. They pass on traditions and differ in their social norms from group to group
I'm interested in how emotions shape society and how animal emotions underlie social order
Morality is not uniquely human. Animals have their own sense of justice and fairness
Empathy is fundamental to human behavior, and we can trace its roots throughout the animal kingdom
