ALL APES GREAT and SMALL VOLUME 1: AFRICAN APES Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects Series Editor: Russell H ALL APES GREAT AND SMALL VOLUME 1: AFRICAN APES Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects Series Editor: Russell H. Tuttle, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois This peer-reviewed book series will meld the facts of organic diversity with the continuity of the evolutionary process. The volumes in this series will exemplify the diversity of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches currently employed by primatolo- gists and physical anthropologists. Specific coverage includes: primate behavior in natural habitats and captive settings; primate ecology and conservation; functional morphology and developmental biology of primates; primate systematics; genetic and phenotypic differ- ences among living primates; and paleoprimatology.

After the first term, she returns to Africa to continue her study of the chimpanzees. She continues to travel back and forth between Cambridge and Gombe for several years. Baron Hugo van Lawick, a photographer for National Geographic, begins taking photos and films at Gombe. 1964 Jane and Hugo marry in England and return to Gombe.

LAW IN SOCIOBIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE DR. MARGARET GRUTER* I. INTRODUCTION This article is intended to acquaint legal scholars with recent findings in the biologically based behavioral sciences which may be relevant to an understanding of legal phenomena. The ideas expressed herein may stimulate further inquiries and research into the inter- action of law and behavior and may help bridge the gap between the natural sciences and the empirical studies of law. Legal research will keep pace more effectively with rapid changes in human society if the findings of the basic sciences are known and accepted by legal scholars. In view of the danger to the very continua- tion of the human species, due in part to the advancement in the natural sciences, legal research is of the utmost importance. Knowledge is neutral: what we do with it is crucial. Scientific research, with the help of law, could better our social order, but only if law builds on scientific research.

Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/17278 PART THREE: A SENTIENT FOCUS ON ANIMAL – HUMAN GAZE 399 CHAPTER ELEVEN – RECIPROCAL GAZE: RE- APPRAISAL AND RE-ALIGNMENT 11.1 Reflecting on the Processes and Outcomes of the Research The feedback loops of the research take three main forms – published critiques, personal reflections, and evaluative judgements in relation to the aims of the research. Each of these will be dealt with separately in the sections to follow. 11.1.1 Public Critiques of the Exhibition Outcomes The Eye to Eye and Face to Face exhibitions attracted critical reviews both in the general media and the arts domain. First, because Eye to Eye was a major animal in art exhibition in their 2007 program, Dubbo Regional Gallery prepared an official report for this event (Appendix E.10). This report indicated that the exhibition had a total visitation of 11,010 with 7138 of these visitors classified as the general public and 3872 as groups. The report lists promotional and media activities as including six printed media articles, two radio presentations and two Internet postings. The overview of the gallery’s exhibition report noted that … the exhibition resonated with audiences and provoked much discussion. Many groups were fascinated by the work and commented on the unique theme of the exhibition (Exhibition report, 2007: 2). The report also commented that the exhibition “… further strengthened Dubbo Regional Gallery’s commitment to the Animal in Art theme, adding rigour and scholarship” (Exhibition report, 2007: 2).

    ANIMAL PROPERTY RIGHTS KAREN BRADSHAW* The animal rights movement largely focuses on protecting species whose suffering is most visible to humans, such as pets, livestock, and captive mammals. Yet, we do not observe how unsustainable land development and fishing practices are harming many species of wildlife and sea creatures. Fish and wildlife populations have recently suffered staggering losses, and they stand to lose far more. This Article proposes a new legal approach to protect these currently overlooked creatures. I suggest extending property rights to animals, which would allow them to own land, water, and natural resources. Human trustees would manage animal-owned trusts managed at the ecosystem level—a structure that fits within existing legal institutions. Although admittedly radical, an animal property rights regime would create tremendous gains for imperiled species with relatively few costs to humans.
