Acknowledgments
For about a decade, I have gathered information on the role of empathy and trust in society—both human and animal—for The Age of Empathy. This book owes much to many people, especially my changing team of up to twenty students, technicians, and scientists at the Living Links Center, which is part of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Let me thank by name those co-workers, colleagues, and friends who have provided feedback on parts of the manuscript or offered observations, ideas, and quotes. I am grateful to John Allman, Filippo Aureli, Christophe Boesch, Peter Bos,
Sarah Brosnan, Devyn Carter, Marietta Dindo, Pier Francesco Ferrari, Jessica Flack, Robert Frank, Amy Fultz, Beatrice de Gelder, Milton Harris, Yuko Hattori, Victoria Horner, Scott Lilienfeld, Charles Menzel, Alison Nash, Mathias Osvath, Susan Perry, Ing-Marie Persson, Diana Reiss, Colleen Schaffner, Anindya Sinha, Susan Stanich, Benjamin de Waal, Polly Wiesner, and Tiffany Young.
I further thank Toshisada Nishida for inviting me to his camp at the Mahale Mountains in Tanzania, Joshua Plotnik and Richard Lair for their hospitality when I came to see elephants in Thailand, Maria Butovskaya for arranging a behind-the-scenes tour of the state Darwin Museum in Moscow, Emil Menzel for graciously agreeing to an interview about his pioneering ideas, the late Wim Suermondt for teaching me to draw, and Stephanie Preston for helping me develop core ideas about the way empathy works. Our research is made possible by funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, Emory University, and private donations. I further thank my agent, Michelle Tessler, for her continued support, and John Glusman of Harmony Books for his encouragement and critical reading of the entire text.
My first reader, as always, has been my wife, Catherine Marin, who makes sure the text is clear and readable, and who never fails to brighten my life.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
FRANS DE WAAL received a Ph.D. in biology from the University of Utrecht, in his native Holland, after which he moved to the United States, in 1981. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics, compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from aggression to morality and culture. His popular books—translated into more than fifteen languages—have made him one of the world’s best-known primatologists.
With his discovery of reconciliation in primates, de Waal founded the field of animal conflict resolution studies. He received the 1989 Los Angeles Times Book Award for Peacemaking among Primates. His scientific articles have been published in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specializing in animal behavior. De Waal is C. H. Candler professor in the Psychology Department of Emory University and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta. He has been elected to the (U.S.) National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. In 2007, Time selected him one of the World’s 100 Most Influential People.
With his wife, Catherine, and their cats, de Waal lives in a forested area near Stone Mountain, Georgia.
