Chimp police break up fights: Swiss study

[Silent3]

6. What I gathered from your post was that you thought the chimps' lack of use of force...

...was something humans should learn from and emulate. Since their policing is less than completely effective, however, then there's no clear lesson to be learned from the chimps.

Human policing done with use of force isn't completely effective either, of course. Nothing in this one study of chimp behavior, however, provides a good reason to believe that, say, unilaterally disarming of all human police forces would produce a clearly beneficial outcome.

The study does, of course, provide fuel for the old aren't-humans-so-terrible-and-nature-so-wise narrative many people seem to love, but that's very different from providing sufficient data to inform human policy decisions on the operation of police forces.
