We’re not baboons, (are we?)

A troop of African baboons transformed their ambition-drive-’type A’ behaviour within a generation, so why do we make excuses and say it can’t be done?

This troop, like all others, had high levels of aggression, low levels of social affiliation, high levels of stress and disease, all attributable to the competitive nature of their society.

And then something happened.

The very structure of our society is making us sick. We’re led to believe we should be competing with each other for scarce resources, money, prestige, and it’s taking a huge toll on us.
