Mozu, the snow monkey De Waal (1996a; de Waal and Aureli 1996) has highlighted numerous other cases. For example, he describes Mozu, a snow monkey born without hands or feet in a free-ranging troop in Japan. Mozu could not climb. Still, the other members of Mozu's troop did not move in the trees above her at a pace that would leave her behind, despite their ability to do so. They seemed tolerant of Mozu's handicap. Such observations add weight to the notion that moral sentiments are rooted in human ancestry.
