Understanding Human Connection
Elizabeth Berg once said, “We are readers probably more than anything else.” Since time is a limited resource, we should carefully choose the articles we give that time to. Frans B.M. de Waal’s article about human connection, titled” Monkey See, Monkey Do, Monkey Connect,” is certainly worth your time. The author’s background contributes to the quality of this article.
Frans de Waal’s qualifications include training in biology, serving as director of the Living links Center, which researches primates, and being a published author. He writes articles to inform readers about homo sapien’s social behavior. His writing includes humor for entertainment, is informal by speaking directly to the reader, and uses vocabulary appropriate for everyday readers. Though he refers to professional sources, such as Kohler’s studies, we don’t have access to his sources.
De Waal’s format of writing is lacking subheadings for clarity. His introduction is indirect since his main claim comes late. His format is lacking section titles since his writing is more about entertaining the reader.
When looking at the article’s content, the introduction hooks the reader but the main claim, that primates are impacted by other primates on many levels, is revealed in a clear and concise way in the conclusion. He uses examples of laughter and yawn contagion, and imitation to show how humans and chimps learn through connection. This article is solid for educational purposes, but there is not enough support for research.
