Bonobo Handshake.

Ok ok. silence..
Yes, Tp4 knew full well this was going to be alot of wifwaff/ embellish and borderline fiction. But Tp4 must also admit, it's well written, and structurally, highly contiguous.
There is an apt analog drawn by the author's own human psychosecseewl culture and that of our cousin Bonobos.
Probably appeals to women more than men, but overall, what's achieved rarely in writing, is that bridge, an acceptable balance between empathy/science/story-telling which successfully makes an emotional connection with the reader, a place where the Bestest-best dry-fact research fail.
Humans are crap computers, we can't care without involving emotions, YET we have a social structure, and an economic/scientific system that un-astutely tries to dispense with such dimensions in publishing figures in isolate.
Much like the stupidity of isolating vitamins from an Apple, we try to deduce knowledge absent the whole. And this is the broken model which rules the world.
