In Different, acclaimed primatologist Frans de Waal examines the concept of gender by looking at it through the lens of our closest animal relatives; primates.
Drawing on decades of research observing chimpanzees and bonobos, de Waal brings a scientific, compassionate, and thought-provoking perspective to the age-old debate around male and female roles in society.
Rather than diving into culture wars, de Waal focuses on biology, behaviour, and evolution, helping readers understand the roots of gender expression beyond societal constructs. This book challenges assumptions and biases, encouraging readers to rethink what it truly means to be male or female not just in humans but across the animal kingdom.
Different is both a scientific exploration and a powerful reflection on equality, empathy, and the shared threads of identity across species.
