“This book [...] demonstrates something we had already suspected on the grounds of the close connection between apes and man: that the social organization of chimpanzees is almost too human to be true.”
― Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes
― Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes
“Some might call these people power-hungry baboons, but frankly, that’s an insult to baboons. At least real baboons know how to lead within their own social structures. Their hierarchies—though rigid—serve a function in their troop. Alpha baboons protect their community, share resources (to an extent), and engage in elaborate social grooming that reinforces connection. When an alpha loses their strength or abuses their role, they get overthrown, often dramatically, but fairly. Compare that to human leaders who cling to power at all costs, build systems that ensure their dominance, and leave the weak to suffer.”
