DIFFERENT - FRANS DE WAAL KARTONIERT (TB)

How different are the sexes? Is gender uniquely human? Where does gender identity originate?
Drawing on decades of observing our closest living relatives  chimpanzees and bonobos 
world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal explores what we know of biological sex differences
and of the role of culture and socialization. From maternal and paternal behaviour to sexual
orientation  gender identity and the limitations of the gender binary  de Waal analyses our
shared evolutionary history with the apes  considering what is similar and what sets us apart.
Male and female networking groups  sexual signals  the existence of gender non-conforming
individuals and maternal bonds are observed in primate societies  but humans stand apart in the
development of nuclear families  the prevalence of sexual violence and joint parental care.
With expert insight and engaging storytelling  de Waal not only sets right gendered biases in
the scientific community  and delivers a fresh and thought-provoking understanding of the
behavioural norms and the many remarkable potentials of the human species.
