Anthony L. Rose, Phd ANTHONY L. ROSE, PHD. Anthony Rose is a social psychologist, writer, and organization developer who has studied monkeys, apes, and humans; taught animal behavior, group dynamics, and human psychosocial development; and consulted to government and private sector organizations on forest management, military diplomacy, religious community development, educational innovation, and health care quality assurance. He now devotes his professional efforts to influencing the human dimensions of wildlife and wilderness conservation. Dr. Rose has written three books about the human--nature connection, lectured at many international conferences, published scores of chapters and articles in scientific anthologies and journals, and studied people and primates in Africa, Central America, and Asia. His inquiries into the bushmeat crisis have focused on commercial hunting and conservation values in west and central Africa, while his research on human-primate interaction has covered most of the world where apes and monkeys live. Rose's original studies of natural epiphanies demonstrated the crucial factors that affect humane values and expand world-view from ego and human centered to eco and life centered. His efforts to curb the commercial slaughter of endangered wildlife have been supported by a host of organizations including - Conservation International, Center for Applied Biodiversity Science, American Zoo & Aquarium Association, International Fund for Animal Welfare, Zoo Atlanta, Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, Bellerive Foundation, Gorilla Foundation, Margot Marsh Biodiversity Foundation, The Wasmoeth Wildlife Foundation, and Newman’s Own Foundation. Anthony Rose developed and taught the first laboratory course in animal behavior at UCLA (1961) and earned his doctorate in experimental psychology in 1967 while serving as research fellow at the UCLA Brain Research Institute. He then spent a decade with renowned humanist Carl Rogers, co-founded and directed Center for Studies of the Person in La Jolla, California, wrote about the realization of human potential, produced educational games, films, and an award winning TV documentary on drug abuse prevention. Dr. Rose worked 25 years as consultant in strategic development areas for industry. He served seven years as director of organization design and research in the Kaiser-Permanente Medical Care Program in Southern California and Hawaii. He is currently CEO of The Biosynergy Institute and president of Altisima Press, director of Wildlife Protectors Fund, a member of IUCN/SSC African Primate Specialists Group, and serves on the Steering Committee of the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force. Dr. Rose has taught conservation psychology at Antioch University Southern California since 1996. Dr. Rose founded The Biosynergy Institute in 1994 to study and advance the synergy of humanity and nature. Under the BSI umbrella he established the Epiphany Project (1994), the Bushmeat Project (1996), and Altisima Press (2002). His current activities include 1) spear- heading promotion of his new book -- Consuming Nature: A Photo Essay on African Rainforest Exploitation, 2) directing Conservation Values Education programs in Cameroon and consulting to global conservationists on social change and biosynergy, and 3) touring the world to enlist people in the battle to save rainforests, threatened wildlife, and indigenous people in their remaining homelands worldwide.

The use of anesthesia can be a risky proposition for animals, so it is used only when deemed essential, Mihm said. Because the dental surgery required anesthesia, doctors felt it would give them the perfect opportunity to take an in-depth look at Koko’s overall health. Gorillas suffer from many of the same maladies as humans, Mihm said, so it makes sense for veterinarians and medical doctors to collaborate.

Many theories on the origins of language begin with two basic premises concerning the vocal behavior of nonhuman pri- mates, especially the great apes. They assume that (1) apes (and other primates) can exercise only negligible volitional control over the production of sound with their vocal tract, and (2) they are unable to learn novel vocal behaviors beyond their species-typical repertoire (e.g., Arbib et al.

  • The Case for the Personhood of the Gorillas
    The Case for the Personhood of Gorillas* FRANCINE PATTERSON & WENDY GORDON We present this individual for your consideration: She communicates in sign language, using a vocabulary of over 1,000 words. She also understands spoken English, and often carries on 'bilingual' conversations, responding in sign to questions asked in English. She is learning the letters of the alphabet, and can read some printed words, including her own name. She has achieved scores between 85 and 95 on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Test. She demonstrates a clear self-awareness by engaging in self-directed behaviours in front of a mirror, such as making faces or examining her teeth, and by her appropriate use of self- descriptive language. She lies to avoid the consequences of her own misbehaviour, and anticipates others' responses to her actions. She engages in imaginary play, both alone and with others. She has produced paintings and drawings which are representational. She remembers and can talk about past events in her life. She understands and has used appropriately time- related words like 'before', 'after', 'later', and 'yesterday'. She laughs at her own jokes and those of others. She cries when hurt or left alone, screams when frightened or angered. She talks about her feelings, using words like 'happy', 'sad', 'afraid', 'enjoy', 'eager', 'frustrate', 'mad' and, quite frequently, 'love'. She grieves for those she has lost- a favourite cat who has died, a friend who has gone away. She can talk about what happens when one dies, but she becomes fidgety and uncomfortable when asked to discuss her own death or the death of her companions.

DESCRIPTORS *Animal Behavior; *Cognitive Processes;*Language Acquisition; *Language Processing; Language Research; Learning Processes; Linguistic Theory;*Nonverbal Communication; Primatology; Sign Language;*Visual Stimuli ABSTRACT The debate over whether primates can betaught visual language is examined, and evidence of useof nonverbal language in primate studies is compared with the languagecriteria of a number of linguistic researchers. Background information onlanguage, visual language (including signjanguage), andthe parameters of the studies is offered, including oral and human languagecriteria, conception of grammar, and use of word symbols(chip symbology). The performance of four apes in different studies, usingdifferent methods to teach visual language, is then examined in termsof these parameters. It is concluded that the apes can mentallymanipulate abstract concepts that have been defined by means of anarbitrary code, and that this manipulation involves mentally scanning a setof symbols and cognitively selecting one on the basis of itsspecific linguistic context. Ape results proved to belinguistically coded and expressed, establishing true linguistic comprehensiveproduction.

  • Three Ways to Persuade by John R
    Three Ways to Persuade By John R. Edlund 1 Over 2,000 years ago the Greek philosopher Aristotle argued that there were three basic ways to persuade an audience of your position: ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos: The Writer’s Character or Image 2 The Greek word ethos is related to our word ethics or ethical, but a more accurate modern translation might be “image.” Aristotle uses ethos to refer to the speaker’s character as it appears to the audience. Aristotle says that if we believe that a speaker has good sense, good moral character, and goodwill, we are inclined to believe what that speaker says. Today we might add that a speaker should also appear to have the appropriate expertise or authority to speak knowledgeably about the subject matter. Ethos is often the first thing we notice, so it creates the first impression that influences how we perceive the rest. Ethos is an important factor in advertising, both for commercial products and in politics. For example, when an actor in a pain reliever commercial puts on a doctor’s white coat, the advertisers are hoping that wearing this coat will give the actor the authority to talk persuasively about medicines. Of course, in this particular instance the actor’s ethos is a deceptive illusion, but the character, background, and authority of the speaker or writer can be a legitimate factor in determining whether we find him or her credible. 3 A writer’s ethos is created largely by word choice and style. Student writers often have a problem with ethos because they are asked to write research papers, reports, and other types of texts as if they have authority to speak persuasively, when in fact they are newcomers to the subject matter and the discourse community.

  • What Defines Us: an Analysis of Grieving Behavior in Non-Human Primates As a Potential Evolutionary Adaptation
    What Defines Us: An Analysis of Grieving Behavior in Non-Human Primates as a Potential Evolutionary Adaptation Robin R. Fiore Department of Anthropology Primary Thesis Advisor Dr. Herbert Covert, Department of Anthropology Committee Members Dr. Michael Breed, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Dr. Michelle Sauther, Department of Anthropology University of Colorado at Boulder May 2013 1 Abstract Grief is one of the most fundamental human emotions and one of the least studied. One of the ways we discover more about humanity is by studying the rest of our order: the primates. Studying grief in other primates can help us understand our own grief better, and thus help those suffering from it. This thesis compiles accounts of primate grief (death of an infant, death of a parent, and death of a conspecific); compares those accounts to human grief, and analyzes whether grief could be an adaptive trait. It was found that primate grief is fundamentally no different than human grief. While there is not enough data to conclude whether grief is an adaptive trait, it does function in a beneficial way in most primates. The discoveries that grief can be found across our order and that grief is more beneficial if allowed to progress naturally has repercussions for how grieving humans are treated. Humans, like primates in the wild, should be allowed to grieve in their own time and way to ensure their health and survival. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my primary thesis advisor, Dr. Herbert Covert, for his incredible patience and encouragement throughout the process of writing this thesis.

  • Preserving Koko's Legacy Through Portraiture
    Preserving Koko’s Legacy through Portraiture Article by Elizabeth Sobieski Before the esteemed British portrait painter Richard Stone entered Koko’s quarters at the Gorilla Foundation near San Francisco, the charismatic and linguistically legendary ape had been introduced to Stone through photographs of the artist and catalogs of his exhibitions. One catalog cover depicted Stone’s 1992 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II seated upon a throne and attired in ceremonial robes. When the artist entered Koko’s home, the L-shaped building where the renowned gorilla lived, Koko seated herself upon a large blue drum and cloaked a blanket in her favorite color, red, around her nearly 300-pound muscular form, and signed, “Koko Queen”: Koko is the queen. And she was. Koko, who died in her sleep on June 18, 2018, just days before what would have been her 47th birthday, 2 served as a global leader, an ambassador for her endangered species and the entire nonhuman animal world, and literally a ’spokesperson,’ using a modified form of American Sign Language (ASL), the predominant system of communication employed by most deaf American humans, to express a thousand words, while understanding spoken English. The Gorilla Foundation was incorporated in 1976, just four years after Dr. Francine “Penny” Patterson and Dr. Ronald H. Cohn began to work with the one-year- old Koko, in order to learn the extent of a gorilla’s gestural language skills, unaware that they would be committed to her for the next 46 years; the blonde and photogenic Stanford-trained Developmental Psychologist Dr. Patterson serving as both teacher and family, and biologist Dr.
