Summary
'Macachiavellian Intelligence' has as much to teach us about humans as it does about macaques, presenting a wry and rational view of our humanity as seen through the monkey in the mirror. The author caricatures a society that is as much human as monkey, with hierachies and power struggles that would impress Machiavelli himself
