Question

What is de Waals's claim about how humans are connected? With a partner, discuss the examples he provides in support of his ideas.

De Waal argues that empathy developed from the way Homo sapiens are in tune with one another. In support of his argument he provides examples of how people and other primates are in tune to do as others do, such as yawn or laugh when others are yawning or laughing.
