“I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man: It is we.” Truth? Comments? Who said this?

Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Lorenzc

Konrad Lorenz is the source of this quote.

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1973/lorenz.jpg

He was was an Austrian zoologist, animal psychologist, ornithologist, and Nobel Prize winner. It seems to me his opion carries some well informed weight.

Truth. Impossible to say. It is an opinion question, not a factual question.

I think I agree with him.
It is clear to me that we are not completely civilized.
In fact I would argue that 15 to 20 percent of us are not even human.

Written by Konrad Lorenz. “I have found the missing link between the higher ape and civilized man: It is we.” - Basically i interpret this quote as him stateing we are bordline between animals, and * Civilized Man *.
He could be relating this to crime, liter, inhumaine actions, anything. Depends on how you read it.

Other quotes from Konrad Lorenz are :
We do not take humor seriously enough.

Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.

The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be.

Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.

We had better dispense with the personification of evil, because it leads, all too easily, to the most dangerous kind of war: religious war.
