Biologist Jordan observes medfly courtship, gorilla motherhood, sea gull nesting squabbles and other remarkable activities in the animal world. Wherever he looks, he finds parallels with human behavior, and he speculates that the human mind is actually an extension of the animal mind. |
Divorce Among The Gulls : An Uncommon Look at Human Nature, William Jordan.
DanFr: I read this book long ago now, and I keep coming back to it. By a Ph.D. in entymology, the writing is beautiful, personal and human, and the subject is interesting: what the animal world has to say about human behavior.
