man and ape

"Apes are much ... and imitate each others' caution". (p. 243)

I found the quotation interesting because as society we imitate those who we see, just as those who watched Socrates speak in public. The quote provides evidence of how close the human race is to apes. It is also an exmaple of the old saying not to make the same mistake twice, only in much different contexts.
