Konrad Lorenz Compiled by Bethinee Snyder Biography Theory Time Line Bibliography Konrad Lorenz was born on November 7, 1903 in Austria. As a little boy, he loved animals and collected a variety of them. He had fish, dogs, monkeys, insects, ducks, and geese. His interest in animal behavior was intense. A neighbor gave him a duckling and he noticed that it transferred it's response to him, discovering imprinting as a young child. When he was 10 years old, Lorenz discovered evolution by reading a book by Wilhelm Bolsche. He saw a picture of an extract Archaeopteryx ( reptile) and began to understand the relationship between an earthworm and insects. Evolution gave him insight. If reptiles could become birds, annelid worms could develop into insects. As an adult, he held doctorates in medicine, zoology, and psychology and became one of Austria's most famous scientists. Initially, he wanted to become a paleontologist, although he was interested in evolution and wanted to study zoology and paleontology. However, he obeyed his father and went to medical school. He studied medicine at Vienna, became a professor at the Albertus University in Konigberg, and went on to direct the Institute of Comparative Ethology at Altenberg, where he created a comparative ethology department in the Max Planck Institute. He co-directed the program in 1954. He is considered the founder of ethology, who has given to the world a deeper insight of behavioral patterns in animals. In 1966, he wrote

Nikolaas Tinbergen Compiled by Wendy Hamilton Biography Theory Time Line References Nikolaas Tinbergen was born in The Hague, Netherlands, on April 15, 1907. As a young boy, he was not interested in academics, neither high school nor college, so he scraped by, doing just enough to pass. He spent much of his time just observing the abundant wildlife in their natural habitat of Holland. Opposed to attending college, Niko's father sent him to spend time with a famous experimental biologist, Professor J. Thienemann who shared with him "the massive autumn migration of birds, the wild Moose, and the famous Wanderdünen." ( Tinbergen, 1975). Soon after returning to Holland, Tinbergen made the decision to study biology at Leiden University. After he completed his years there, he became engaged to Elisabeth Rutten. Knowing that he would have to soon support this woman, he decided to use his chance study of Beewolves (digger wasps)and their remarkable homing abilities. Next, he and his new wife left with a small group from the Netherlands for two years to live with a small isolated Eskimo tribe in Angmagssalik. Upon his return to Holland, Niko took a minor instructor's job where he was to teach comparative anatomy and to organize a course in animal behavior for undergraduates. He engaged in a lot of fieldwork and further studies on Beewolves, insects, and birds at this time, and he made his famous observation of stickleback courtship. Tinbergen developed a lifelong habit of carefully observing animals in their natural environment. It has been through the work of Niko Tinbergen that the study of Ethology has gained much respect and legitimacy.

Accueil Index Catégories Dossiers ... Vie animale Konrad Lorenz Biographie en résumé Éthologiste autrichien. Vie et oeuvre Konrad Lorenz aura été l'un des savants les plus aimés de son siècle. Parce qu'il savait parler aux gens comme il savait parler avec les mammifères, les oiseaux et les poissons, (c'est le titre de l'un de ses livres les plus célèbres). Parce qu'à la fin de sa vie, il a complété les observations et les analyses du savant par les réflexions d'un sage, mais peut-être, avant tout, parce qu'on le représentait toujours en pleine nature, penché sur une nichée d'oies sauvages ou jouant avec des choucas. Le public ne pouvait qu'être rassuré par cette image d'un grand biologiste si manifestement intéressé par les manifestations concrètes de la vie. Centre de recherche Konrad Lorenz à Grünau en Autriche. Dans la vie d'un tel chercheur, la science est une présence amicale et, inversement, les petits gestes de l'existence quotidienne ont une coloration qui les rattache au monde de la science. Lorenz arrivait souvent avec quelques minutes de retard à ses cours de l'Institut Max Planck. Ce trajet, qu'il faisait à pied bien sûr, était un sentier de la vie. Tel matin il prolongeait sa conversation avec la boulangère, tel autre matin son attention était retenue par un écureuil. Route sinueuse! Les êtres vivants ignorent la ligne droite. Il n'y a qu'à voir la forme des raccourcis que les gens adoptent spontanément dans les parcs. Ayant étudié la carte de la ville de Munich, les étudiants de Lorenz proposèrent au maître un trajet plus rationnel, comportant moins de points de vie. Lorenz respecta l'horaire, mais ce fut pour son malheur et celui des étudiants: il devint de plus en plus maussade jusqu'à ce qu'il revienne à son premier trajet. Il venait de vivre ce qu'il avait si souvent observé chez ses oies.

Accueil Index Catégories Dossiers ... Imprimer associé au dossier Konrad Lorenz Konrad Lorenz Jacques Dufresne Curriculum Présentation Dans ce résumé de la vie et de l'oeuvre de Konrad Lorenz, l'auteur met l'accent sur les travaux de Lorenz sur les instincts, plus précisément sur les instincts secondaires, dont on a tendance à oublier l'existence, peut-être qu'ils préfigurent le contrôlent des instincts primaires par la culture. Extrait Chez l'homme, nous dit Lorenz, les instincts subsistent à l'état d'ébauche. D'où la misère de notre condition: à la place d'un instinct sûr il y a chez le jeune humain un grand vide angoissant, c'est-à-dire une intelligence et une liberté encore informes. En ce sens, nous sommes des animaux inadaptés. Entre la détermination de l'instinct chez l'animal et l'indétermination de la conscience chez l'homme, Lorenz voyait une zone noire provoquant un état de choc, analogue à celui qui résulterait de ce que les théologiens appellent le péché originel. Texte Konrad Lorenz, l'homme de la vie, le père des verts autrichiens, vient de mourir à 85 ans. Un grand gaillard, doublé d'un grand esprit, qui se penche avec intelligence et tendresse sur une nichée d'oies sauvages. Il y a là de quoi émouvoir la personne la plus indifférente aux manifestations de la vie. Voilà pourquoi Konrad Lorenz a été l'un des savants les plus aimés de son siècle. Enfin la science parlait aux gens. Elle leur parlait comme Lorenz lui-même parlait avec les mammifères, les oiseaux, les poissons. C'est le titre de l'un de ses livres les plus célèbres.

Enterprise Ecology Connections HOME Commentary Connections Choices by David Forrest © David Forrest, September 2001 Previous Next How can humankind produce Mother Teresa and Hitler, compassion and cruelty, humanitarianism and terrorism? How can any human being make the destruction of others the defining purpose of their life? These are age-old questions that we are confronted with again and again. According to one school of thought, war, violence and aggression are an inevitable outcome of our evolutionary heritage. “Man is a predator,” Robert Ardrey wrote in the book African Genesis , “with an instinct to kill and a genetic cultural affinity for the weapon.” Ardrey is joined by others in this point of view. There is evidence, behaviourist Konrad Lorenz said in his book On Aggression , that several of our early relatives, African Australopithecines and Peking Man, preyed on their own kind. Conceptual thought and speech have proven to be both a blessing and a curse, Lorenz said. Lifting us above all other species, while at the same time creating conflict among ourselves, and giving rise to what he called ‘militant enthusiasm.’ As a species we still respond today with instincts buried deep in the primal past, joining the call to battle. Lorenz described the inevitable and ever recurring consequences. “One soars elated above all the ties of everyday life, one is ready to abandon all for the call of what, in the moment of this specific emotion, seems to be a sacred duty. All obstacles in its path become unimportant; the instinctive inhibitions against hurting or killing one’s fellows lose, unfortunately, much of their power. Rational considerations, criticism, and all reasonable arguments against the behaviour dictated by militant enthusiasm are silenced by an amazing reversal of all values, making them appear not only untenable but base and dishonourable. Men may enjoy the feeling of absolute righteousness even while they commit atrocities. Conceptual thought and moral responsibility are at their lowest ebb.”
