The Bonobo and the Atheist - Frans de Waal

Unread post

I am just about finished reading Mama's Last Hug by de Waal. This is my first of his works and I loved it. His writing is clear and concise yet he manages to convey complex topics at the same time.

So I was looking for another of his works to read in the near future and this one stood out. So figured I would suggest for discussion.

The title may seem like another hard atheist selection, but from what I understand de Waal is not enemy of religion. He is a non-believer, but not what one would call a hard-liner.
