    Both humans and primates prefer cooperation over conflict, using cooperation to end disputes rather than relying on aggression. Chimpanzees form bonds and alliances by grooming, traveling, and sharing with one another to secure their status in the group hierarchy, where higher status individuals receive respect through deferential behaviors like avoiding eye contact and appearing small from lower status chimpanzees. While aggression may achieve short-term success, it often leads to further conflicts and lowers status within the group, so cooperation and respecting the hierarchy allows primates and humans to effectively share resources and responsibilities.
