Why is it important to understand behaviors of gorillas in order to understand humans? It is because understanding the behaviors, consciousness, and societies of gorillas will help us make accurate inferences about those of our human ancestors.
In contrast, misunderstandings about gorillas may lead to misunderstandings about our own past. Therefore, research on primates plays an important role in exploring the evolution of human behavior and societies.
