Enjoying this, decades after first encountering de Waal via his excellent book on bonobos. The focus is still on primates, but he switches to birds, cetaceans, dogs, cephalopods, rats, etc. as appropriate

If the exploitation of others were all that mattered, evolution should never have got into the empathy business. But it did, and the political and economic elites had better grasp that in a hurry.

In memoria di Frans de Waal
In Italia la primatologia è poco o per nulla conosciuta. Non è conosciuta perché nel nostro Paese abbiamo scarsa considerazione del comportamento degli altri Animali e in generale della Natura. Frans de Waal era un primatologo di importanza mondiale ma in Italia nessun quotidiano nazionale ha parlato della sua morte, avvenuta il 14 marzo scorso, se non con trafiletti di solito usati per analizzare il fuorigioco di qualche secondaria partita di calcio.
Eppure i suoi studi sul comportamento sociale dei Primati, in particolar modo Bonobo e Scimpanzé hanno rivoluzionato non solo il modo di vedere le Scimmie, ma quello di vedere tutti gli Animali. Sosteneva infatti che alla fine noi Umani siamo solo e semplicemente...

The lovely man behind the idea that altruism, empathy and co-operation are as innate as some of that other stuff. RIP #FransdeWaal https://www.economist.com/obituary/2024/03/20/frans-de-waal-taught-the-world-that-animals-had-emotions

Frans De Waal was enlightening in many ways, but I think the concept that will stuck forever with me is his criticism of the general attitude of comparing humans to chimps, using them as an evolutionary explanation for our violent hierarchical social structure. De Waal stressed how we share the same amount of genes with Bonobos, 'The Forgotten Ape', and there's no evolutionary reason why we couldn't have been more Bonobos, instead of Chimps: a 'make-love-not-war' ape. Imagine that.

@bjkingape I loved his work, I recommend his books regularly. It's such sad news! He really did change our perspective for the better, on animals and empathy. #FransDeWaal

Primatologist Frans de Waal has passed away and the world is much poorer from it 😔 #FransDeWaal. You may have seen that video of a capuchin monkey upset about not being rewarded at the same level as his neighbor for the same task, that was part of his Ted talk : https://www.ted.com/talks/frans_de_waal_moral_behavior_in_animals

Thanks Frans de Waal for all your studies and wonderful books. You opened our eyes wider on these incredible animals. You will be missed #fransdeWaal #primatology #bighug

A man who changed the way we look at animals, and allowed animal behaviour scientists to look at animals as richly emotional and much closer to humans than we care to admit. Rest in peace, Frans de Waal.

I have been reading Frans de Waal's amazing book #Different and somehow Tom Gauld's cartoon here really seems to sum it up...

Im faszinierenden Kapitel "Tierische Moralitäten" des Primatenforschers #FransDeWaal: #Moral entwickelt sich aus sozialen Instinkten. Auch #Primaten streben nach friedlichen Gesellschaften, zeigen echtes altruistisches Verhalten, sind empathisch und haben Gerechtigkeitsempfinden.
