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.

差不多十年前,进化心理学家罗宾·邓巴(Robin Dunbar)开始研究英国人寄圣诞卡的习惯。在邓巴做研究的那个年代,社交网络尚未诞生,他希望找到一个办法衡量人们的社交关系。邓巴感兴趣的不仅仅是研究对象认识多少人,他还想知道每个人真正在乎多少人。他认为,探寻这种情感纽...

对于我来说,《梳毛》这本书里的信息量比较大,很多细节可以拿来琢磨。 我的点可能比较奇怪。让我特别想拿来琢磨的,是一个比较边缘的话题(相对于这本书的主题思想而言)。 在第 7 章《最初的语言》里,有一句话让我有些震撼。这句话就是:“……一个令人费解的人类行为特点:...

曾经有一个论断:一个人如果情商低,本质上是智商不行,因为大脑计算能力不足,无法周全考虑各种因素。 这个说法考虑了一个人作为一种系统,但没有考虑到一个人作为一种策略。 作为历史上情商低的标杆人物乔布斯,曾经多次分享他的用人策略:对于真正的A级选手,无须照顾他们的...
