For us humans, getting involved in an aggressive conflict can be costly, not only because of the risk of injury and stress, but also because it can damage precious social relationships between friends – and the same goes for monkeys and apes.
I'm Laura from Antrim, Northern Ireland. I graduated from my MA in International Relations and Politics in 2024 after completing my undergraduate in History at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). Though coming to LJMU it felt like a last-minute UCAS Clearing decision, it has come to be the best decision I ever made. I now work at LJMU in the Global Opportunities Team, and I have been here professionally for just over a year.
