The review in the Sept. 1996 Sci American says he has marshalled a "strong
body of evidence" to suggest that humans and other animals share the
following:
* Sympathy as expressed in succor
* Special treatment of the disadvantaged
* Cognitive empathy
* Norms exemplified in both prescriptive and proscriptive
social rules
* Reciprocity embodied in the exchange of services
* Punishment for violators
* Concern for community
* Peacemaking and negotiation
His studies were on primates in captivity, demonstrating, de Waal claims,
"latent reserves of adaptive complexity and capacity."
Must be humans.
