| Summary |
1938: Five hundred monkeys in India are rounded up, shipped across the world, and released on a remote, uninhabited Caribbean island. How do they organize themselves socially? Troop wars, discrimination, abuse of power on the one hand - and maternal love, solidarity, and respect for the social hierarchy on the other. For better or worse, a society has been formed. Three renowned scientists -- a psychologist, a geneticist and an evolutionary biologist -- scrutinize these primates of the Caribbean in order to understand the roots of our own human society ... and to help us, ultimately, to imagine possibilities for a more altruistic world |
