Dominance Style Among Macaca thibetana on Mt. Huangshan, China (2004, background): “Tibetan macaques are most closely related genetically to Assamese macaques (Hoelzer and Melnick, 1996), although they resemble stumptailed macaques (Macaca arctoides) closely in appearance ( de Waal, 2001 ).”
The Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky (2007, background): “For example, there is a good deal of current evidence pointing to more prevelant tool use, communication abilities, and forms of practical intelligence in nonhuman primates and other animals than Vygotsky could have been aware of (e.g., de Waal, 2001).”
One cultural parent makes no culture (2010, background): “Third, as in the famous case of the apprentice to the sushi chef (De Waal 2001), long periods of observation and training may allow humans uniquely to achieve a transmission fidelity close to perfect in some cases.”
Ecological dominance, social competition, and coalitionary arms races: Why humans evolved extraordinary intelligence. (2005, background): “Our close relatives, great apes, exhibit behavioral variations and traditions involving social learning that suggests a more gradual transition (de Waal, 2001; McGrew, 2003; Stanford, 2001; van Schaik et al., 2003; Whiten et al., 1999; Wrangham, McGrew, de Waal, & Heltne, 1994).”
The concept of entrainment and its significance for ethnomusicology (2004, background): “…tricky in this context, but I support the ethologist Frans de Waal’s view that trying to get rid of anthropomorphism is not easy or risk-free either: ‘By changing our language when we describe [the behaviour of] animals, we may also be concealing genuine similarities’ (De Waal, 2001, 35, 40 ff).”
Self-regulation and the executive function: The self as controlling agent. (2007, background): “Frans de Waal (2001a, 2001b), one of the most passionate and persuasive advocates of culture in other species, readily concedes that no nonhuman culture remotely approaches the extent of human culture.”
Imitative games by 9-, 14-, and 18-month-old infants. (2004, background): “…to understand and construe the intentions of others by adopting their perspective is sometimes viewed as the foundation of human culture and cognition in comparison to other primate species (Tomasello, 1999; Tomasello, Kruger, & Ratner, 1993; but see also DeWaal, 2001; Whiten & Custance, 1996).”
Evolution and ontogeny of stress response to social challenges in the human child (2006, background): “…and appropriate countermoves, ampliWed by networks of multiple relationships, shifting coalitions, and deception, make social success a diYcult undertaking (Alexander, 1979, 1987, 1990a; Baumeister, 2005; Cummins, 1998; Daly & Wilson, 1988a, 1988b; De Waal, 1982, 2001; Gilbert, 2005; Hauser, 2005).”
