Dr Frans B.M. de Waal is a Dutch-born ethnologist and biologist known for his work on the social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982, Jonathan Cape, ISBN: 0-224-01874-4), compared chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians, and he continued to draw parallels between primate and human behaviour in Our Inner Ape: the Best and Worst of Human Nature (2005, Granta, ISBN 1-86207-795-9) and Primates & Philosophers: How Morality Evolved (2006, Princeton University Press, ISBN: 978-0691141299).

He is the director of the Living Links Center at Atlanta's Emory University, and in 2007 was cited by Time magazine as one of the world's 100 most influential people.

Dr de Waal is in New Zealand to present the 2009 Sir Douglas Robb Lectures; the last of the three lectures takes place from 7:00pm on Tuesday 31 March at the University of Auckland, Fisher & Paykel Appliances Auditorium, Owen G Glenn Building, 12 Grafton Road.
