La Sociedad de Los Primates Julia Fischer

Barbary macaques, chacma baboons and Guinea baboons are among the animals whose DNA resembles most to human's genes. Nevertheless, our affinity with such primates goes beyond sharing a high percentage of our genetic load with them. Monkeys have social and cognitive tools just as interesting, and -in some cases- as complex as human's, which makes them unbeatable subjects of study to help us understand how bond groups have influenced on the evolution of our own social behavior, intelligence, and even our language. In this book, Julia Fischer shares to all readers her passion for these animals, transmitting why she finds "the monkey that lives in the man much more interesting, rather than if there was a man living in the monkey".
