“None of the three great apes is considered ancestral to modern man, Homo sapiens, but they remain the only other type of extant primate with which human beings share such close physical characteristics. From them we may learn much concerning the behavior of our earliest primate prototypes, because behavior, unlike bones, teeth, or tools, does not fossilize.” MenHumansMayDoeThreeHuman BeingsShareModernTypeBehaviorToolsBonesTeethCharacteristicsBiologyWildlifeApesHomo SapiensModern ManPrimatesPrototype Book:Gorillas in the Mist Source: Gorillas in the Mist
“If we each take responsibility in shifting our own behavior, we can trigger the type of change that is necessary to achieve sustainability for our race or this planet. We change our planet, our environment, our humanity every day, every year, every decade, and every millennia.” IfsYearsHumanityRaceResponsibilityEnvironmentAchievePlanetsTypeBehaviorDecadesSustainabilityTaking ResponsibilityShiftingOur PlanetTriggersOur Environment Author:Yehuda Berg
“The difficulty in judging what type of behavior works well arises not only because a given course of action does not always produce the outcomes. Similar outcomes can occur for reasons other than the person's actions, which further complicates inferential judgment. Effects that arise independently of one's actions distort the influence of similar effects produced by the actions, but only on some occasions. Given a strong cognitive set to perceive regularities, even chance joint occurrences of events can be easily misjudged as genuine relationships of low contingent probability” WellsPersonsDoeReasonActionCoursesStrongGivenChanceInfluenceEffectsEventsProduceJudgingTypeBehaviorJudgmentLowsDifficultyGenuineAriseOccasionsPerceiveOutcomesProbabilityJointsCognitiveRegularitySelf Efficacy Author:Albert Bandura
