Description

Mama's Last Hug: A New Perspective on Animal Emotions

Frans de Waal explores the emotional lives of animals, drawing on his groundbreaking research with chimpanzees and bonobos. He delves into the world of facial expressions, sentience, consciousness, and the human side of politics, revealing surprising connections between our species.

De Waal challenges conventional views by distinguishing between emotions and feelings, arguing that emotions are a fundamental aspect of life, shared across all living beings. This thought-provoking book invites readers to reconsider their understanding of animal emotions and our place in the natural world.
