The term was controversial due to fact:
“Reconciliation" a term which de Waal introduced for reunions after fights . This term was controversial at first, but is now fully accepted with respect to animal behavior
“There is no way we are like them…”

Manipulation/ Rational Strategies
Chimpanzees
According to Science Daily (Feb. 3, 2009)— With most mammals, the biggest and most aggressive male claims the alpha male role and gets his choice of food and females. But a new study from the University of Minnesota suggests that at least among chimpanzees, smaller, more mild-mannered males can also use
political behavior to secure the top position.
Does Size Matter????

"To endow animals with human emotions has long been a scientific taboo. But if we do not, we risk missing something fundamental, about both animals and us.“ Frans de Waal
