答案 Monkey Business Do you want to understand your work colleagues better? Go to the zoo and observe monkeys. That’s advice of Dutch business consultant Patrick van Veen, who has biology on his CV. He takes groups of business people around Chester Zoo in Britain and teaches them how primitive behaviour is alive and well in the workplace. The mainly female audience attending the course nod when Mr. van Veen describes how most offices have a set of dominant males, who slap each other’s backs, stamp their feet and draw themselves up tall. Watching the monkeys grooming one another, Mr. van Veen emphasizes the importance of this kind of supportive behavior at work. "We spend a lot of time in chit-chat, drinking coffee with each other," he told the BBC reporter. "That’s grooming behavior, like primates do." Exploring similarities in behavior between man and monkeys might be a new idea for a business, but the theory behind it is well known. It’s pointed out that there’s only a 1.4% difference in genetic material between humans and chimpanzees.
