Jane Goodall: What separates us from the apes?

	Duration: 1761 seconds Upload Time: 07-05-16 14:03:44 User: TEDtalksDirector :::: Favorites
Description: Traveling from Ecuador to Africa, Jane Goodall takes the audience on an ecological journey, discussing highlights and low points of her experiences in the jungle. She shows how progress is helping research (DNA analysis) and hurting the environment (clear-cutting). And she draws a dozen parallels between primate and human behavior, making the point that we really aren't all that different. Our big advantage, she says, is the ability to communicate with sophisticated spoken language -- yet, sadly, we are abusing this power and destroying the planet. She urges the TED audience to behave differently, and use their higher powers to correct the planet's course.

JohnDeBunkTest ::: Favorites This is possibly the most inspiring video on You Tube. ThankYou Jane. One person CAN change the world, you did. In proving that primates have morality, the entire study of philosophy changed. We can now understand how morals evolved through field study, not just guess why we have morals. We also know it is immoral to destroy nature. 07-08-06 19:46:29 _____________________________________________________
