Attingendo da una formazione nelle scienze biologiche, questo autore approfondisce le complessità della natura umana e della sua evoluzione. I suoi scritti abbracciano una notevole gamma di discipline, dal comportamento animale e dalla biologia evolutiva alle neuroscienze cognitive e alla filosofia, unificate da un approccio interdisciplinare. Questo autore unisce la scoperta scientifica all'applicazione pratica, in particolare nell'istruzione e nel benessere umano, lavorando con giovani a rischio. Il suo lavoro mira a migliorare la nostra comprensione della mente e del cervello, sviluppando al contempo nuovi strumenti per migliorare la vita dei bambini e contribuire al benessere sociale.

The book presents a revolutionary theory proposing that humans possess an innate moral instinct that drives our judgments of right and wrong, transcending factors like gender, education, and religion. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology, the author examines the profound implications of this theory for bioethics, religion, law, and daily life, challenging conventional views on morality and its origins.

Do animals think? Can they count? Do they have emotions? Do they feel anger, frustration, hurt or sorrow? Are they bound by any moral code? Wild Minds provides authoritative answers to these long-standing questions. Marc Hauser, a scientist in the field of animal cognition, uses insights from evolutionary theory and cognitive science to examine animal thought. Treating animals as neither machines devoid of feeling nor as extensions of humans, but as independant beings driven by their own complex impulses, Hauser's work describes his background research in the field: a master tour of the animal mind.

Können Tiere denken und wenn ja, was denken sie? Große Fragen über kleine Gehirne. Die Frage nach der Intelligenz der Tiere fasziniert uns seit jeher. Der renommierte Neuropsychologe Marc Hauser erläutert in seinem originellen Buch das erstaunliche intellektuelle und emotionale Leben der unterschiedlichsten Tiere, über das Psychologen, Sprachwissenschaftler und Biologen – basierend auf neuesten Forschungen – sehr Nachdenkenswertes zu berichten haben. Dabei geht es nicht darum, das romantische Bild von der Natur zu bekräftigen, das uns rührende Anekdoten von sprechenden Affen, weinenden Elefanten oder selbstlosen Hunden zeichnen. Hauser berichtet vielmehr von einer kleinen Sensation mit weitreichenden Konsequenzen: Tiere denken und fühlen in einem viel umfassenderen Sinne als bisher angenommen, und zumindest die höheren von ihnen besitzen eine eigene Wahrnehmungswelt, haben subjektive Erlebnisse und suchen ihr Verhalten danach auszurichten. Schon allein deshalb täten wir gut daran, in Tieren nicht nur Objekte unseres Tuns zu sehen.
