«El mono que llevamos dentro» is the popular science essay by Frans de Waal, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
Frans de Waal compares chimpanzees and bonobos to explain human nature: alongside the inheritance of ambition and violence, he argues that empathy and solidarity also have evolutionary roots. Neuroscience supports his thesis, as moral decisions activate ancient emotional centers of the brain, and bonobos are, for him, as valid a model as chimpanzees.
Volume 96 of the Metatemas collection by Tusquets. Spanish translation of the English original 'Our Inner Ape' (2005).
A popular science work for those interested in primatology, human evolution and the biological foundations of behavior and morality.
