圖書描述

What a big brain we have for all the small talk we make. It's an evolutionary riddle that at long last makes sense in this intriguing book about what gossip has done for our talkative species. Psychologist Robin Dunbar looks at gossip as an instrument of social order and cohesion--much like the endless grooming with which our primate cousins tend to their social relationships. Apes and monkeys, humanity's closest kin, differ from other animals in the intensity of these relationships. All their grooming is not so much about hygiene as it is about cementing bonds, making friends, and influencing fellow primates. But for early humans, grooming as a way to social success posed a problem: given their large social groups of 150 or so, our earliest ancestors would have had to spend almost half their time grooming one another--an impossible burden. What Dunbar suggests--and his research, whether in the realm of primatology or in that of gossip, confirms--is that humans developed language to serve the same purpose, but far more efficiently. It seems there is nothing idle about chatter, which holds together a diverse, dynamic group--whether of hunter-gatherers, soldiers, or workmates. Anthropologists have long assumed that language developed in relationships among males during activities such as hunting. Dunbar's original and extremely interesting studies suggest otherwise: that language in fact evolved in response to our need to keep up to date with friends and family. We needed conversation to stay in touch, and we still need it in ways that will not be satisfied by teleconferencing, email, or any other communication technology. As Dunbar shows, the impersonal world of cyberspace will not fulfill our primordial need for face-to-face contact. From the nit-picking of chimpanzees to our chats at coffee break, from neuroscience to paleoanthropology, "Grooming, Gossip, and the Evolution of Language" offers a provocative view of what makes us human, what holds us together, and what sets us apart.

從梳毛到八卦,從身體到內心。多巴胺的進化也是神奇。人這種東西把無中生有發展到瞭極緻。

去年读过的一本小书,记了些随想在日记里,今日翻出来一看,不如记在豆瓣,可以随时温习。如下: 1、015页,作者罗宾邓巴追溯人类的远古祖先,是母女们手接着手,一代接一代连接在一起,长度不超过300英里,就能溯回到人类的祖先“夏娃”。 为什么是母女们手拉着手站在一起,在...

邓巴认为人的社交圈上限是150,有人表示不服,认为这个数字可能太小了——你看看微信微博,好友上千人的很多啊。甚至还有人说,自己天生适合社交,跟很多人都能聊得来,随便拉一个都可以聊个通宵。 我觉得这就涉及一个关键问题:什么样的关系才能算在150这个数字中? 分歧主要...

语言的出现可谓是人类进化史上里程碑式的时刻,多少惊人的的发明与壮举得益于此!可是另一方面,我们日常挂在口边或乐于聆听的语言似乎又跟伟大沾不上边。想想每天跟亲友的对话,是琐碎小事、奇谈八卦居多,还是全球经济、政治局势居多?畅销榜上的图书,有多少是值得认真咀嚼...

文|轻禅   最初看到“梳毛”一词,是好奇,首先是有毛的动物才可以梳毛,这跟语言进化究竟有什么关系?这个问题一直萦绕在我脑中,直到看了《梳毛、八卦及语言的进化》一书,我才明白过来,其实对于动物而言,梳毛并非只是梳毛那么简单,它所代表的含义的确丰富。   先来...
