# Monkey in the Mirror

Humans have long been fascinated by the apparent similarities between themselves and other primates. But just how close are these similarities?

In the wild, they live in complex and varied societies in which they use tools, take herbal medicines, wheel and deal, deceive, practice power politics and sexual politics, and sometimes even suffer from executive stress.
