Frans
de Waal, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Psychology and director
of Yerkes' Living Links Center, has released My Family Album:
Thirty Years of Primate Photography, a new book from the
University of California Press that pulls together his decades
of photographing apes and monkeys. The handsome 170-page volume
explores the visual evidence of just how similar nonhuman primates
can be to their more “civilized” cousins, as shown
by the shot above, titled “The Appearance of Thinking.” “We
love to present the human philosopher the way Auguste Rodin did
in The Thinker,” de Waal writes. ”Kevin, an adolescent
male bonobo, seems to be thinking equally hard, perhaps about
what distinguishes bonobos from other animals." Photo by Fans
