"An important and timely message about
the biological roots of human kindness."
—
Desmond Morris,
author of The Naked Ape
Are we our brothers' keepers? Do we have an
instinct for compassion? Or are we, as is often
assumed, only on earth to serve our own survival
and interests? In this thought-provoking book, the
acclaimed author of
Омг
Inner Ape examines how
empathy comes naturally to a great variety of ani¬
mals, including humans.
By studying social behaviors in animals, such as
bonding, the herd instinct, the forming of trusting
alliances, expressions of consolation, and conflict
resolution,
Frans de Waal
demonstrates that ani¬
mals
—
and humans
—
are "preprogrammed to reach
out." He has found that chimpanzees care for mates
that are wounded by leopards, elephants offer "reas¬
suring rumbles'" to youngsters in distress, and dol¬
phins support sick companions near the water's
surface to prevent them from drowning. From day
one humans have innate sensitivities to faces, bod¬
ies, and voices; we've been designed to feel for one
another.
De
Waal's theory runs counter to the assump¬
tion that humans are inherently selfish, which can be
seen in the fields of politics, law, and finance, and
which seems to be evidenced by the current greed-
driven stock market collapse. But he cites the pub¬
lic's outrage at the U.S. government's lack of
empathy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina as a sig¬
nificant shift in perspective
—
one that helped
Barack
Obama
become elected and ushered in what may
well become an Age of Empathy. Through a better
understanding of empathy's survival value in evolu¬
tion,
de Waal
suggests, we can work together toward
a more just society based on a more generous and
accurate view of human nature.
Written in layman's prose with a wealth of anec¬
dotes, wry humor, and incisive intelligence, The Age of
Empathy is essential reading for our embattled times.
