Frans de Waal

Frans de Waal is a pioneering primatologist and ethologist who has transformed our understanding of social behavior in chimpanzees and other primates. As a professor at Emory University, his decades of field research have revealed how our closest animal relatives resolve conflicts, share resources, and cooperate - often in surprisingly human-like ways. De Waal's TED talks have reached millions, sharing eye-opening lessons from the natural world that challenge assumptions about the roots of morality, fairness, and community.
