Abstract
Dutch primatologist Frans de Waal was once asked in an interview: “How's Catherine doing?” He was not used to journalists asking about his wife. Only after some awkwardness did it transpire that the interviewer thought she was a primate he had been studying. The dedication in his latest book had read: “For Catherine, my favourite primate.” That humans are just another primate lies at the heart of de Waal's new book, Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist, which ambitiously attempts to reconcile what we know about sex differences in behaviour among other primate species with the sex and gender differences we can see in our own.
