The three-part series `Ape Man' explores humans' daily battles for power, territory, sex and allegiance with that of our monkey cousins through humorous experiments, hidden-camera scenes, wildlife footage and expert analysis. Not only do humans share 98 percent of our genetic code with our closest ape relatives, we also share some of the same inherent basic instincts. The programme looks at the human dating world and compares it with primates' courtship and mating rituals. Viewers see how apes and humans share the same way of flirting; how men meeting for the first time look classically like chimpanzees establishing dominance; and by observing two interns applying for the same job, how primal social climbing, grooming and deception are used from day to day.
