The reading passage of Unit 1A, The Ape in the Office (pages 5-7), describes how human behavior in the office echoes primate behavior in the wild, as observed by Richard Conniff, author of The Ape in the Corner Office. For example, both humans and other primates use social networking to move up the ladder to improve their status. Ambitious individuals in both worlds make an effort to create social connections with leaders of their communities. In addition, aggressive behavior may be rewarded in the short run, but it leads to isolation in the long run. Online search terms: Richard Conniff, The Ape in the Corner Office.
