The kind survive

Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods's book "The Kindness That Survives", which was published in Korea, was especially loved in Korea.
It presented the power of science to provide comfort and hope to 'affectionate beings' who stand against the worldview of each for himself.
Their recently published book, "Dogs are Geniuses," is their representative work and deals with the cognitive and survival abilities of dogs, which are the main arguments of "The Affectionate Survive."
Brian Hare, a world-renowned evolutionary anthropologist, and Vanessa Woods, an award-winning author and accomplished journalist, have won praise from both academic and publishing circles for achieving both without sacrificing dogs as a means of science or science as a means of entertainment.


The being that knows humans most accurately

Scientists have been researching to find out what unique abilities make us human.
By nine months of age, human infants are observing what their mothers are looking at, what their mothers are touching, and how their mothers are acting.
Understand the mother's communicative intention and read the mother's mind (this is called the '9-month revolution').
Scientists have tested whether chimpanzees, a species of ape similar to humans, also have this ability.
They hid food in one of two containers and gave clues as to where the food was.
Touching, pointing to, or looking at a container containing food.
Unlike human infants, chimpanzees failed miserably.
It turns out that chimpanzees can't read human gestures, and this isn't limited to chimpanzees; it seems that almost all species can.


While many scientists wondered if this ability to communicate might be what makes humans unique, Brian Hare turned his attention to dogs.
From nine-week-old puppies to adults, from strays to New Guinea Singing Dogs, all dogs, regardless of breed, easily passed the test of reading human hand and body language.
Brian and the scientists have proven that dogs have a genius for human interaction, especially when it comes to communicating with humans.
They studied where canine genius comes from, how it is expressed in what areas, how to train that genius, and what all this means for humanity.
This book is the result of that fascinating scientific exploration.

The Truth Behind Dog Myths

This book says:
Every dog ​​has its own unique intelligence.
People debate which dog breed is the smartest (often citing Border Collies, Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Poodles as top choices).
But scientists have a different answer.
Whether in tasks involving navigating obstacles or experiments involving following or using human gestures, almost all dogs excel.
To do well in agility (a dog sport that involves running over various obstacles to a destination) competition, two qualities are required.
Accuracy and speed.
Accuracy is a function of following a person's demands and depends on training performance, while speed is related to physical ability.
In terms of accuracy, almost all dogs will achieve similar results if they undergo the same training.
However, the speed is different.
Even if a dachshund follows its trainer's commands precisely, a swift border collie looks much more impressive.
The variation within breeds in the inherent genius of dogs is greater than the variation between breeds.
Therefore, the common belief that they are a particularly intelligent breed is scientifically unfounded.


While every dog ​​has unique cognitive abilities, the training methods used can make them completely different dogs.
There have always been attempts to introduce Skinnerian behaviorism into dog training methods.
They claim that all problem behaviors can be solved by using conditioning training methods.
The clicker was their magic key.

Skinner believed that the mind was unimportant and had no place in psychology.
We thought there was no way to find out what was going on in the minds of animals.
All that mattered was the action we wanted to create.
However, behaviorism has been shown to have limited effectiveness in very specific situations.
Research by scientists including Brian has revealed that dogs' genius stems from their ability to understand human communication and their willingness to cooperate with us.
That is, it focuses on how their intelligence and mind work.
It also became clear that dogs' behavior had certain biases and limitations.
This book recommends abandoning Skinnerian behavioral training methods, bypassing the dog's biases and limitations, and, above all, training with eye contact, a high-pitched voice, and gentle touch.

Dogs are the only creatures on earth who love you more than they love themselves.

Anything that cannot be tested experimentally is just a hypothesis, says Brian Hare.
Many people pride themselves on knowing a lot about dogs, but science often gives them different answers.
Brian's experiment changed the conventional wisdom of dog trainers and even evolutionary biologists.
The wolf has genius that surpasses the dog in many ways.
But when it comes to communicating with people, dogs are superior to wolves.
Dogs make eye contact with people, read human gestures, talk to people, sometimes rely on people even at their own disadvantage, and prefer being with people to being with their own kind.
Behind the devotion of dogs to people lies their genius cognitive abilities.
While wolves are endangered, there is a secret to why dogs exist everywhere in the world.
Brian is a true 'dog doctor'.
If you want to know dogs properly, you must read this book.

The Biology of Love That Makes Us Happy

If you read this book, you will realize why we cannot help but love dogs, and how much we misunderstand about the dogs we love so much.
It doesn't matter if you don't own a dog, don't care about them, or don't even love them.
The scientific explorations that Brian and his colleagues undertake across the United States, Russia, and the Congo, alongside dogs, wolves, foxes, bonobos, and more, are fascinating in their own right.
If we could truly discover the source of the affinity that fosters cooperation and friendship—the workings of intelligence and the mind—the world would be filled with far more kind beings than it is now.
