Frans de Waal has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. The author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, among many other works, he is the C. H. Candler Professor in Emory University’s Psychology Department and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
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.

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. 想看看他的科研態度
評分我們和動物一樣都有情緒,我們和動物的情緒是極其相似的。人類之所以復雜是因為人是用語言創造瞭感情。其實隻是情緒的一個副産品而已。所以比起人類來,動物更為真摯。

評分用有趣的動物行為學研究觀察的例子以及對動物前沿的認知,探討動物各種emotions的實質、過去biased科學觀念,讓我們更清楚瞭解人類與動物的差彆並不大,作為科普讀物寫法通俗麵嚮大眾。
