松泽教授带领的京都大学的灵长类动物研究所,探索作为人类的我们是谁达38年。松泽和他的研究团队一直在检测黑猩猩大脑的各个方面。从探索黑猩猩节奏感、到黑猩猩的语言能力、理解数字规则的能力、再到黑猩猩的记忆能力与观察学习能力,松泽教授得出了许多意料之中与意料之外的结果。在有的方面人类比黑猩猩更优越,然而其他方面我们却比黑猩猩更逊色。那到底是什么成就了我们人类在地球上的霸主地位?在进化的过程中我们得到了什么并失去了什么?让我们来一探究竟。
一部关于曾被美国时代杂志选为20世纪代表人物之一的同性恋政治家Harvey Milk的记录片。 Harvey Milk是首个以公开同性恋者身份者角逐成功为美国旧金山市重要官员,生前致力争取同性恋者的公民权益。他被暗杀前,很有希望当选为卡斯特罗(旧金山最著名的同性恋街区)的市长。70年代间,当他推动通过旧金山市首个同性恋者的公民权益条例之际,Harvey Milk与他的政冶盟友George Moscone于1978年11月28日被保守派前旧金山市前警察官Dan White刺杀而死,事件唤醒了当地同性恋者,使他们对争取自身权益作出了强烈的反省和回应。 1985年奥斯卡最佳长记录片
Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
