Different : what apes can teach us about gender / Frans de Waal.

How different are the sexes? Is gender uniquely human? Where does gender identity originate? Drawing on decades of observing our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal explores what we know of biological sex differences and of the role of culture and socialization. From maternal and paternal behaviour to sexual orientation, gender identity, and the limitations of the gender binary, de Waal analyses our shared evolutionary history with the apes, considering what is similar and what sets us apart.

One gorilla : a counting book / Anthony Browne.

In this counting board book, Anthony Browne presents primates from gorillas to gibbons, macaques to mandrills, ring-tailed lemurs to spider monkeys. With his exquisite attention to detail and quirky flair for facial expressions, Browne extends the basic number concept into a look at similarities and differences - portraying an extended family we can all count ourselves part of, and a home planet that we should all try to protect.
