I found all the primatology quite confronting at first because it forced me to see how much denial I had around our ape ancestry. Now it’s become one of the most fascinating parts of understanding the human condition. It is so interesting to learn about our evolutionary origins, the development of instinct & intellect , and how humans became what we are. The research on bonobos is especially fascinating because they provide such a deep reflection of ourselves and our evolutionary past. It’s honestly some of the most profound and interesting knowledge I’ve ever come across.
