What Can We Learn From Chimpanzees (That Might Help us Become Better Men) You’re quite a bit smarter than any ape that’s ever lived – and more civilised. In other areas, however, humans’ closest living relative might just have the edge. Is it time to embrace your inner primate? - by Dan Williams 13 May 2021
Back in the Eighties, a 10-year-old named Cyril Grueter dragged his parents to a screening of
Gorillas in the Mist. Bold and haunting, it tells the true story of American primatologist Dian Fossey, who bonded with the mountain gorillas of central Africa.
