Shelley Taylor (http://www.psych.ucla.edu/Faculty/faculty.php?id=89&area=7) toont levendig en overtuigend aan dat zorgzaamheid een essentieel onderdeel is van het menselijke bestaan, en dat dit waarschijnlijk altijd zo is geweest. Wij zijn in wezen een zorgende soort en zorgzaamheid, vriendschap en altruïsme horen evenzeer bij onze natuur als agressie en de hang naar dominantie. Een ondubbelzinnige aanrader! http://minervaria.wordpress.com/2007/06/07/het-knuffelinstinct/
I enjoyed the general topic of our natural instincts to comfort and support one another, overall I recommend reading The Tending Instinct. Although it was interesting to read the research studies, case histories, and psychological theories, I found myself distracted and disinterested too often. I suppose I found the book to be too textbook-like for comfortable reading.
Taylor examines stress, relationships, and human society through the special lens of women's biology. She draws on genetics, evolutionary psychology, physiology, and neuroscience to show how this tending process begins virtually at the moment of conception and literally crafts the biology of offspring through genes that rely on caregiving for their expression. Taylor also examines what drives women to seek each other's company, and to tend to the young and the infirm -- acts that greatly benefit the group but often at great cost to the individual.
