Would they have achieved intelligence like ours? Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould said that chance plays such a crucial role in evolution that even if the tape of life were replayed a million times, it's unlikely a species like humans would ever evolve again. \u003cbr\u003eIf Gould were alive, he would probably have answered that even if dinosaurs had not gone extinct, they would not have evolved into humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But paleontologist Dale Russell, curator of vertebrate fossils at the Canadian Museum of Natural History, disagreed with Gould.\u003cbr\u003e He argued that if the asteroid had missed Earth, some lineage of dinosaurs with relatively larger brains might have eventually evolved into dinosaur-like creatures with forward-looking eyes, upright walking, grasping hands, and truly large brains, and cited 'convergent evolution' as the basis for this.\u003cbr\u003e Convergent evolution refers to cases where two organisms that are not genetically closely related exhibit similar traits.\u003cbr\u003e Considering that convergence has appeared as repeatedly as divergence in evolution, perhaps Gould was thinking in a human-centric way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, the surprising intelligence of animals that is being newly discovered raises new possibilities. \u003cbr\u003eEven crows with small brains can read the minds of others, octopuses with nine 'brains' can plan for the future, and dolphins show high social intelligence, forming factions in their social networks.\u003cbr\u003e Animals with brains that humans would consider 'poor' are now demonstrating intellectual abilities that were once considered unique to humans.\u003cbr\u003e In this cover story, we explore the remarkable intelligence of animals, newly discovered from their perspective, and consider whether we are still stuck in a human-centric way of thinking when it comes to understanding life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▼ Skeptic X Frans de Waal Interview: What Chimpanzees Tell Us About Humans \u003cbr\u003eThis issue features an interview with the editorial staff of Skeptic conducted by Dr. Frans de Waal, a pioneer in primate research who has revealed much about humans through primates in works such as Chimpanzee Politics and The Mind of Difference, before he passed away at the age of 75 on March 14, 2024.\u003cbr\u003e In the 1970s, when Frans de Waal was just beginning his research, the idea that animals had human-like emotions was ridiculed.\u003cbr\u003e Due to the influence of the behaviorist school, which sought to elevate psychology to the status of a true science, animal research at the time considered only the functions of animal behavior, not the internal states of animals, as legitimate subjects of study.\u003cbr\u003e For example, instead of saying “the animal was scared,” you should have said “the animal escaped from danger.” \u003cbr\u003eAnecdotes like these, scattered throughout the interview, show how shocking de Waal's research and claims, now taken for granted, were at the time.\u003cbr\u003e Additionally, this interview provides a detailed look into Dr. de Waal's thoughts on animal thoughts, emotions, and politics.\u003cbr\u003e In remembrance of De Bal, I share that interview with my readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▼ Focus: The Age of Culture Wars\u003cbr\u003e The whole world, including our country, is facing a crisis of division due to a culture war.\u003cbr\u003e Progressives and conservatives are clashing over hot-button issues like abortion, the climate crisis, immigration, homosexuality, and transgenderism.\u003cbr\u003e Culture wars don't just happen between political extremes.\u003cbr\u003e Gender conflict, generational conflict, class conflict, and religious conflict are being expressed not only on the Internet but also on the streets.\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that each side demonizes the other side, censoring and blocking freedom of speech. \u003cbr\u003eIt's not uncommon to drag down speakers you don't like by focusing on the words themselves rather than the context of their expression.\u003cbr\u003e In this issue's Focus, we discuss cancel culture, erasing popular culture, the sex and gender debate, and erasing language, delving deeper into the implications of public discourse and freedom of expression in the age of culture wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▼ Heatwave to hit the Korean Peninsula in 2024\u003cbr\u003e This summer, we experienced the problem of global warming firsthand.\u003cbr\u003e There were many humid days, and hot days continued until Chuseok.\u003cbr\u003e Editor Yoon Shin-young of Spotted Cow summarized the unique aspects of this year's summer on the Korean Peninsula using keywords and looked ahead to the future we face.\u003cbr\u003e What was different about this year's unusually hot and humid summer compared to previous years? \u003cbr\u003eThe author, who checks daily temperature data from around the world and Korea, compared and analyzed not only the average daily temperature but also the average temperature and the number of heat wave days with data from 30 years ago and discovered a peculiarity called a \"wet heat wave.\"\u003cbr\u003e The climate of high humidity and heat waves simultaneously has a variety of impacts beyond health problems. It is truly threatening, with inequalities based on income and housing conditions worsening and the number of excess deaths due to heat-related injuries increasing, as well as worker injuries.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, the number of heatwave deaths in 35 European countries in 2023 is estimated to be up to 58,000.\u003cbr\u003e We explore how to address and prevent heat waves, which threaten our lives beyond our daily lives, at both a personal and public level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▼ When Pain Becomes the World \u003cbr\u003eProfessor Woo Chung-wan, a neuroscientist at Sungkyunkwan University who studies the relationship between pain and the brain through brain imaging, begins a series titled 'Keywords for Understanding Pain, Existence, and Consciousness.'\u003cbr\u003e According to him, pain is not just a basic emotion for survival, but a key keyword for understanding our existence and consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e For example, chronic pain patients often begin to accept pain as a part of their self over time.\u003cbr\u003e When observing the results of tracking the process of chronic back pain in patients with subacute back pain that lasted for about one or two months, the brain regions related to physical emotions were initially activated, but after a year, brain regions closely related to semantic emotions, such as the medial prefrontal cortex, showed a high correlation with back pain. \u003cbr\u003eHere, semantic emotions refer to our autobiographical memories and beliefs, which form the unique emotional world of humans.\u003cbr\u003e In this way, pain can be said to be a key element for understanding human existence and consciousness, beyond being a simple medical object.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ▼ Goryeo's hardships as seen through Jeju Island's landscape\u003cbr\u003e Jeju Island's unique landscape is made up of hundreds of mountain peaks, including the mighty Hallasan Mountain, and vast pastures ideal for horses.\u003cbr\u003e People often misunderstand this kind of scenery as being original to Jeju Island.\u003cbr\u003e However, considering that Jeju Island's climate is warm and humid, the grasslands spread out on the slopes of Mt. Halla are vegetation that does not fit with Jeju Island's climate at all.\u003cbr\u003e Professor Park Jeong-jae, a geographer at Seoul National University who studies paleoclimatology, says that Jeju Island's unique landscape is a trace of human disturbance, particularly the hardships of the Goryeo Dynasty. \u003cbr\u003eProfessor Park Jeong-jae compares the coal deposits of Dongsuak Oreum and Mulyeongari Oreum to trace the changes that occurred between 938, when Tamna became a vassal state of Goryeo, and 1276-1374, when Mongolia operated Tamna Ranch.\u003cbr\u003e Interestingly, the data on the amount of coal from Mulyeongari Oreum increases with the Goryeo plunder of Tamna starting around the 10th century and the Mongol invasion in the 13th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Also, Skeptic No. 40\u003cbr\u003e - In 'Hemichordates, Shaking the Human Brain,' evolutionary biologist Professor Lee Dae-han examines how the recently proposed biological classification system for bilaterally symmetrical animals, focusing on hemichordates, suggests the possibility of revolutionary changes in brain evolution.\u003cbr\u003e - In 'Conditions for Innovation,' Michael Menke, who studies research methodology, traces why innovation has been declining in various fields recently and examines the conditions for innovation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e- In 'Could Insects Be the Food of the Future?', Arnold van Huys examines why we should strive to utilize insects as a future food source and what obstacles lie ahead. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 6, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280 pages | 522g | 170*250*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9772383984000\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23839848 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893538127914,"sku":"160017","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/fcb568269d6fb104767f03bdac32b0c3.jpg?v=1765404776","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/160017","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
