We could study what various apes do, and try to use that to guess at possible human behaviour - or we could literally just look at human behaviour directly. Surely the direct observations of what humans do is going to give us a more accurate and useful model of human behaviour compared to observations of other species.

Surely the direct observations of what humans do is going to give us a more accurate and useful model of human behaviour compared to observations of other species.
And when we do, we’ll discover that in many ways it’s similar to how other apes behave.
Surely knowing that the behaviour is so ingrained that it’s also how apes behave makes it clear that it’s not some easy thing to change.
