À propos de cet audio

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 59-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.

In Mama's Last Hug, Frans De Waal relates experiences few modern, urbanites will ever realize. Humans are so removed from ever experiencing other species with whom we share our planet that we relegate thoughts, if any, to the most superficial sound bites we may have encountered in our knowledge-impoverished lives.

De Waal shows us how real the feelings and spirits of our close relations are - how necessary their feelings and thought processes are to survival. He also notes some faculties and abilities that leave us in the dust. De Waal's lifelong work and the knowledge gives us enhances our lives and helps us look at each other as well as other species with fresh, open eyes and hearts. I loved this book.

You don’t need to be a behavioural scientist to enjoy this book. The author ( and narrator) do an excellent job of illustrating his and others observations so you can make your own conclusions about the parallel between animal and human emotions.
Informative, plenty of humour, shocking and though provoking.
5/5

I would much prefer the author to read his book, accent and all, than have this phone mid-Atlantic accent reade.
