Who's Aping Who? - Social Climbing

How we choose and lose our mates has long been a subject of intense fascination. Close scrutiny of the ways we attract, keep, and even leave our loved ones reveals more similarities to the behavior of the great apes than differences. Life seems as difficult for our closest relatives, the great ape, as it is for a human. Apes want to get on in life just as much as we do, and they'll do most anything to get ahead.
