  Primatologists Frans de Waal has published a number of books on chimpanzee behaviour, including Peacemaking Among Primates . In The Ape and The Sushi Master the author continues his explorations of human and primate culture in order to arrive at a better understanding of the roots of human behaviour. De Waal's study examines whether animals learn from one another and have what he defines as culture , or whether their actions are purely based on genetics and instinct.
