Krátky popis
Despite originating more than two-and-a-half thousand years ago,
Aesop's Fables are still passed on from parent to child, and are
embedded in our collective consciousness. The morals we have
learned from these tales continue to inform our judgements, but
have the stories also informed how we regard their animal
protagonists? Are wolves deceptive villains? Are crows insightful
geniuses? And could a tortoise really beat a hare in a race? What
truths about the animal world lie behind these tales?In Aesop's
Animals, zoologist Jo Wimpenny turns a critical eye to the fables
to examine the science behind Aesop's portrayal of the animal
kingdom. She brings the tales into the twenty-first century,
introducing the latest findings from the world of behavioural
ecology - the study of why animals do the things they do, in areas
such as tool use, plans and projections, self-recognition,
cooperation and deception.How close to verifiable scientific truths
do these ancient tales lay?Sifting facts from fiction, Aesop's
Animals explores and challenges our notions about animals, the ways
in which they behave, and the roles we both play in our shared
world.
