身披华服的猴子。

从原始脆弱到宇宙意识。

by Bruno Del Medico ...

Series Book 953 - ZHO - PensareDiverso
数千年来，我们一直将自己描述为“裸猿”：一种脆弱的动物，突然被抛入没有爪子和盔甲的世界，周围是难以理解的自然力量和装备更完善的掠食者。动物行为学家和人类学家德斯蒙德·莫里斯在1967年出版的著名著作《裸猿》中，将这种描述广为流传。这是一种恐惧的生物，通过编造故事、符号、神灵和仪式来学习生存之道。这只猴子用神话包裹自己，以保护自身的脆弱。这个在二十世纪广为人知、几乎成为人类学标志的形象，至今仍具有某种魅力。它带着某种讽刺、挑衅甚至解放的意味：它提醒我们，尽管野心勃勃，我们终究只是动物。然而，正是这个想法可能掩盖了人类历史上最令人惊讶的部分：从进化的角度来看，我们的裸露不仅是生物性的。它是一种存在性的裸露。我们真正暴露的并非寒冷或掠食者，而是神秘。因此，今天质疑"裸猿"形象，既不意味着否认我们的动物起源，也不意味着拒绝承认这种起源所带来的谦卑。相反，它意味着这种定义已不再足够。 ...

The Case Against Darwin's Big Idea

Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Herbivore Interactions on Islands

Edited by Xoaquín Moreira, Luis Abdala-Roberts ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Theory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences ... Read more
