| summary | Primates, including humans, are marked by hierarchies as well as cooperative relations. They form coalitions in their pursuit of power, often with quite sophisticated tactics (such as divide-and-rule). For males, power is more important than food. But they also need to have ways of settling disputes and repairing relationships damaged by aggression. Chimpanzees reconcile by kissing and embracing, monkeys often by grooming, and bonobos with sex. This lecture will combine data from "Chimpanzee Politics" and "Peacemaking among Primates" with newer information.
