Frans de Waal on TED: Moral behavior in animals

I have read one book by Frans de Waal (Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes) and I liked it as it approaches a complex area with a sense of humor and "down-to-earthiness" which makes you see how similar to us the monkeys are to us (or, rather, we to them).

I was glad to see that Frank had made a presentation on TED last November.

Especially I liked the experiment which showed how the Capuchin-monkeys have a sense of Fairness (12:40).
