What do animal emotions tell us about ourselves? Where did the human begin and the animal end? This science documentary takes you on a moving journey through the history of feelings and the intellect - with Jane Goodall, Frans de Waal and Volker Sommer. Chimpanzees wage war, behavioural experiments demonstrate that they also show compassion, cooperation, fairness and reciprocity. They reconcile after fights and comfort each other. Chimpanzee societies have customs and traditions that vary from place to place. Is the emergence of morality and culture not a purely human achievement after all?
