Cover of the classic volume edited by Richard Byrne and Andy Whiten in Machiavellian Intelligence as the evolution of intellect among monkeys, apes and humans. It shows a funny cartoon of a big male hamadryas baboon, looking over a rock at his diminutive female imagining she is being good. But out of sight behind the rock she's grooming another male!
