Desmond Morris 的《裸猿》(The Naked Ape)——一项关于智人的动物学研究。堪称经典,搭配 Frans de Waal 的《我们内心的猿》(Our Inner Ape)一起读更是绝配。
The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris -- a zoological study of homo sapiens. A classic nicely supplemented by Our Inner Ape by Frans der Waal.
…告诉我我和其他人都是理性的人,但我自己的行为给出的答案却截然相反。不然为什么在我理智上明知道不需要的时候,还是会去吃一颗糖?对于感兴趣的人,我强烈推荐 Frans de Waal 的《我们内心的猿》(Our Inner Ape)。里面讲了许多关于类人猿社交互动的趣事,看起来简直和人类惊人地一致。顺便问一句,你知道类人猿也会像人类一样抠鼻孔吗?
…tells me I and other people are rational beings, my own behavior tells me otherwise. Why else would I eat a candy when I rationally know I don’t need it? For people interested, I can highly recommend Our Inner Ape by Frans de Waal. It tells many interesting stories about social interactions between apes that look surprisingly human. By the way, did you know that apes pick their nose, just like humans?
要是有人对倭黑猩猩更感兴趣,想多了解这个物种以及它与人类之间的渊源,我建议读读下面这本书:https://www.amazon.com/Our-Inner-Ape-Primatologist-Explains/... 我多年前读过,写得太绝了!
If anyone is interested more in Bonobos and wants to learn more about that species and the way that species connects with humanity I suggest the following book: https://www.amazon.com/Our-Inner-Ape-Primatologist-Explains/... I read it many years ago and thought it to be excellent!
