New York Times best-selling author and primatologist Frans de Waal explores the fascinating world of animal and human emotions.
Mama’s Last Hug opens with the dramatic farewell between Mama, a dying fifty-nine-year-old chimpanzee matriarch, and biologist Jan Van Hooff. This heartfelt final meeting of two longtime friends, widely shared as a video, offers a window into how deep and instantly recognizable these bonds can be. So begins Frans de Waal’s whirlwind tour of new ideas and findings about animal emotions, based on his renowned studies of the social and emotional lives of chimpanzees, bonobos, and other primates.
De Waal discusses facial expressions, animal sentience and consciousness, Mama’s life and death, the emotional side of human politics, and the illusion of free will. He distinguishes between emotions and feelings, all the while emphasizing the continuity between our species and other species. And he makes the radical proposal that emotions are like organs: we don’t have a single organ that other animals don’t have, and the same is true for our emotions.
用有趣的动物行为学研究观察的例子以及对动物前沿的认知,探讨动物各种emotions的实质、过去biased科学观念,让我们更清楚了解人类与动物的差别并不大,作为科普读物写法通俗面向大众。
评分I don’t know in how much degree that is it a common sense but I would love to sit down and read through it when I get a change. 想看看他的科研态度
评分Jane Goodall 曾经在一次采访里说,她最想让人记住的关于她的研究是,动物也是有emotion的。这本书里讲到的在Chimpanzee身上看到的动物的高级情绪,比如对逝者的怀念,让人心头一颤。结合人间各种抓马,人类有时真是高估了自己的与众不同。对自然和其他生灵,要保持敬畏。
