Chris Knight and Camilla Power ask what can we learn from monkeys and apes about resistance to male dominance? Among machiavellian intelligent primates, just being bigger and stronger doesn’t always win. This is not only true with Old World Monkeys who have female kin bonds (eg vervets) but also unrelated female great apes such as bonobos and the highly sex size dimorphic gorillas. Critical features are strategies of ganging together, confusing males on fertility, and ability to say NO! What could that say about gender relations and conflict in our ancestry?
