Review
Primates--A Natural Heritage of Conflict Resolution
Frans B. M. de Waal
The traditional notion of aggression as an antisocial instinct
is being replaced by a framework that considers it a tool of competition and negotiation. When survival depends on mutual
assistance, the expression of aggression is constrained by the
need to maintain beneficial relationships. Moreover, evolution has
produced ways of countering its disruptive consequences. For example,
chimpanzees kiss and embrace after fights, and other nonhuman primates
engage in similar "reconciliations." Theoretical developments in
this field carry implications for human aggression research. From
families to high schools, aggressive conflict is subject to the same
constraints known of cooperative animal societies. It is only when
social relationships are valued that one can expect the full complement of natural checks and balances.
