书名：Mama’s Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves
作者：Frans de Waal
内容简介：Frans de Waal has spent four decades at the forefront of animal research. Following up on the best-selling Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, which investigated animal intelligence, Mama’s Last Hug delivers a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals.
Mama’s Last Hug begins with the death of Mama, a chimpanzee matriarch who formed a deep bond with biologist Jan van Hooff. When Mama was dying, van Hooff took the unusual step of visiting her in her night cage for a last hug. Their goodbyes were filmed and went viral. Millions of people were deeply moved by the way Mama embraced the professor, welcoming him with a big smile while reassuring him by patting his neck, in a gesture often considered typically human but that is in fact common to all primates. This story and others like it form the core of de Waal’s argument, showing that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy.

Frans de Waal 在动物研究的前沿工作了四年。 继畅销书《我们是否足够聪明知道动物有多聪明？》之后，该书调查了动物的智力，《妈妈的最后一个拥抱》对动物丰富的情感生活进行了引人入胜的探索。
Mama's Last Hug 始于 Mama 之死，Mama 是一位黑猩猩族长，与生物学家 Jan van Hooff 建立了深厚的联系。 当妈妈快要死的时候，范霍夫采取了一个不寻常的步骤，在她的夜笼里拜访她，最后拥抱她。 他们的告别被拍摄并传播开来。 数以百万计的人被妈妈拥抱教授的方式深深打动，她微笑着欢迎他，同时拍着他的脖子安抚他，这种手势通常被认为是典型的人类，但实际上这对所有灵长类动物来说都是常见的。 这个故事和其他类似故事构成了德瓦尔论点的核心，表明人类并不是唯一具有爱、恨、恐惧、羞耻、内疚、快乐、厌恶和同情能力的物种。
