Exploring cultural genealogy from the hug of Japanese monkeys | Naofumi NAKAGAWA | TEDxKobe

NAKAGAWA Naofumi as a field work primatologist shares an idea of listening to a great possibility that connect serendipity with sensibility. This idea lead NAKAGAWA to a discovery of something small but new in the hugs of Japanese monkey (macaca fuscata), which, in primatology, had been a research target so thoroughly studied that nothing new would likely to reverse any of then-established theories. A boy who dreamt of studying behaviors of mammals in African savannah grew up and got a post at the “Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University”, which is a top-ranking institute of this field. Among a bunch of primates, his research subject is Japanese monkeys ( macaca fuscata ), which was and is already a well-researched and thought to be too well-studied that anything unprecedented can be hardly expected to be discovered. Nevertheless, what NAKAGAWA found in some of Japanese monkeys’ behaviors were a sorts of cultures that have something in common with human cultures. It was a new discovery. How could he reach this conclusion? In his talk he will share some clues to make a new discovery. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
