Ape
Relates the situation of the non-human apes (bonobos, chimpanzees, gibbons, gorillas and orangutans), discussing how humans have imagined them historically and in modern times. This book examines how apes serve as models for humans: scientists use their behaviour to explain our fundamental nature, and use them as tools in biomedical research.
