ShortSummary	The second programme looks at social behaviour in primates, and is introduced by McGavin from a bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He describes the advantages of living in groups. The orange babies of Malaysia's silvery lutungs make it easier for the group to look after them. Emperor tamarins share parenting duties and vervet monkeys use series of specific warning calls to evade predators. Teamwork also enables primates such as chimpanzees to hunt. Primate societies are complex and rely on order being maintained, which can disadvantage some individuals. To illustrate this, McGavin shows how Japanese macaques low in the social order are ostracised from a hot spring. To improve their social status, most primates groom, but other tactics are sometimes employed. Spider monkeys hug one another, Barbary macaques snatch babies and take them to the dominant male and geladas chatter. Male hamadryas baboons maintain order through violence. Other primates use visual and aural displays to indicate dominance, none stranger than the proboscis monkey's elongated nose. Ring-tailed lemurs live in matriarchal societies but conflict is sometimes unavoidable, especially when food is scarce. Bonobos use sex as a way of dissipating tension and avoiding conflict, and this, says McGavin, is something we humans could learn from. (en) McGavin travels to a Thai temple where the resident long-tailed macaques use human hair as dental floss. He cites this as a sign of primate intelligence, showing that they can manipulate their environments to their advantage. Other examples include Zanzibar red colobus stealing charcoal to nullify toxins in their diet, capuchins covering themselves with sap to ward off mosquitoes and macaques using stones to open shellfish. The ability to learn is another characteristic of primates. Apes have long childhoods to learn the skills they need from their elders. In Sumatra, McGavin encounters orphaned orangutans being trained for return to the wild. In Uganda, two young chimpanzees from different groups solve the same problem in different ways using knowledge passed down from previous generations, an indication of culture. Chimps are also one of the few primates that can recognise their reflections, a sign of self-awareness. Other species are shown displaying emotions, including grief and empathy. The ability to manipulate others is exemplified by a low-ranking black capuchin who deceives his group to snatch a meal. In the final sequence, McGavin meets Kanzi, a bonobo who has learned skills from humans including a basic understanding of language. Kanzi is shown building and lighting a fire and toasting marshmallows. (en)
