Este libro comienza narrando el último encuentro entre Mama, una hembra de chimpancé moribunda, y su cuidador. La escena, en la que Mama intenta sonreír mientras se abraza a la persona que se ocupó de ella durante años fue filmada y ha emocionado a millones de personas a través de la red. Al hilo de este episodio, De Waal habla del significado de las expresiones faciales, las emociones ocultas tras la política humana o la ilusión de la libertad. Esta obra describe las múltiples maneras en que los humanos y el resto de animales estamos íntimamente conectados y nos muestra que los humanos no somos la únicaespecie capaz de amar, odiar, temer o avergonzarse.
