13 Dr. de Waal believes reconciliation is a “learned social
skill.” For five months, he housed together two groups of
young monkeys with very different peacekeeping styles—
“bossy” rhesus monkeys that rarely reconcile after a fight
and their tolerant stumptail cousins that are masters at
making peace. At first, both groups kept to themselves, but
in the end, “they did everything together” and the rhesus
monkeys reconciled after conflicts as often as the stumptails.
When the two groups were separated, the rhesus monkeys
kept up the more peaceable ways they had learned.
reconcile If you reconcile with someone, you make up after a disagreement.
