Abstract

The main characters of this chapter will be Yeroen, Nikkie, Luit, Mama and Kanzi, chimpanzees’and bonobos' dictators whose behaviour has been described by Frans De Waal. One could believe that what chimpanzees and bonobos are doing is not at all interesting for us. Instead, as De Waal is explaining so clearly in all his books, the observation of their behaviour is extremely useful to unmask the true nature of human behaviour and in particular to show the true nature of human dictators.
