Where Social Skills Are Valued More Highly Than Propensity For Violence



American biologist George B Schaller :

"Baboons live in a peaceful society in which not aggression but friendship achieves the desired result.

"Baboons are individuals; each has its own temperament and idiosyncrasies, each has its own desires and goals ... scientific papers cannot express the fundamental charm, the fleeting social entanglements, the perishable moments of a baboon's life.

"A contemplation of baboons can help humankind correct a skewed vision of itself."
