Customer Reviews of Monkey in the Mirror
A video that compares our closest relatives to us. Note: This is a very interesting video for those who are interested in learning more about nonhuman primates and comparing them to us.
Different types of primates (chimpanzees, aye-ayes, baboons, macaques and bonobos) are featured throughout the video and are used as examples to elucidate topics such as development, culture, sociality, stress, intelligence, self recognition, and language use/acquisition. The scientific content of the video is very good and is based upon well established primate research. If you are interested in learning more about primate culture I would suggest viewing Jane Goodall's videos and reading her books. If you'd like to learn more about the topic of stress in human and nonhuman primates, I'd recommend books by Robert M. Sapolsky. If you're fascinated by ape language studies, I would start with the book on Kanzi written by Sue Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin. Kanzi is the bonobo featured in this video and uses lexigrams to communicate with humans.
I use this video in my Advanced Biology class (12th grade) and my students find it very interesting. The parts about cultural transmission of behavior, the causes/consequences of stress, self recognition and language are especially intriguing to them and spark excellent class discussions.
