Chapais shows that our knowledge about kinship and society in nonhuman primates supports, and informs, ideas proposed by Claude Lévi-Strauss. He contends that only a few evolutionary steps were required to bridge the gap between the kinship structures of our closest relatives—chimpanzees and bonobos—and the human kinship configuration.
