Clever monkeys
DVD - 2009
Love, language, guilt, envy, generosity, secrets, lies, and sophisticated society are not unique to humans. We share all those complex concepts with our relatives-- the monkeys! Monkeys have a very curious nature which leads them to try new things, but it is their culture, the passing of information from one generation to the next that teaches them much of what they know. In this program we see how the tiny marmoset in South America to aggressive baboons of Africa and compassionate toque macaques in Sri Lanka learn from their families how to find food, communicate, recognize kin, even use tools, medicine, and language.
