Monkey See, Monkey Do

Well, I was going to do a moderately thoughtful post on a fascinating article in Foreign Affairs, but I'm too tired and really, I don't think I would've added value anyway, so here:

So what does primatology have to say about war and peace? Contrary to what was believed just a few decades ago, humans are not "killer apes" destined for violent conflict, but can make their own history.

Tell that to the Chimperor...
