Fascinating documentary in which primates are observed to exhibit a plethora of social displays and emotions, ranging from non-reciprocated altruism (both inter- and intra-species) to gleeful deception, from reverential awe to brutal aggression, and from syntactic communication to basic empathy. Part of a series filmed for BBC4 called "Of Apes and Men".
