	Konrad Lorenz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (November 7, 1903 in Vienna – February 27, 1989 in Vienna) was an Austrian zoologist, animal psychologist, and ornithologist.
		Lorenz's writings about evolution are also now regarded as outdated, because he tended towards group selectionist ideas that were debunked by the rise of sociobiology in the 1970s.
		Lorenz's most enduring contributions thus seem to be his empirical work, especially on imprinting; his influence on a younger generation of ethologists; and his popular works, which were enormously important in bringing ethology to the attention of the general public.

	Konrad Lorenz biography - imprinting
		Konrad Lorenz (Konrad Zacharias Lorenz) was born on November 7, 1903 in Vienna, Austria.
		Lorenz quickly realized that comparative anatomy and embryology offered a better access to the problems of evolution than paleontology did, and that the comparative method was as applicable to behaviour patterns as it was to anatomical structure.
		Konrad Lorenz is considered to be one of the principal founders of ethology, a branch of science that attempts to gain a deeper insight of behavioral patterns in animals.

	BookRags: Konrad Z. Lorenz Summary
		Konrad Z. Lorenz was born on November 7, 1903, in Altenberg, Austria.
		Lorenz's contributions to the study of animal behavior were immense, but his work on the development of social relationships, especially the phenomenon of imprinting, deserves special note.
		One of Lorenz's earliest contributions was the introduction of the concept of angeborener Auslösemechanismus ("innate releasing mechanism" or IRM).

	BookRags: Konrad Lorenz Summary
		Konrad Lorenz was born on November 7, 1903, in Vienna, Austria, as the younger of two sons born to Adolf Lorenz and his wife and assistant, Emma Lecher.
		Lorenz's love of animals began outside of school, primarily at the family's summer home in Altenberg, Austria, and his interests became more grounded in science when he read about Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory at the age of 10.
		In the book, Lorenz describes aggression as "the fighting instinct in beast and man which is directed against members of same species." He writes that this instinct aids the survival of both the individual and the species, in the latter case by giving the stronger males the better mating opportunities and territories.

	Psychology History
		Konrad Lorenz was born on November 7, 1903 in Austria.
		Lorenz was intrumental in establishing an understanding that innate behaviors play a central role in the adaptations of organisms and the evolutionary process underlies the development of behavior.
		It was Lorenz's hope that he had proven one thing: "that the study of instinctive behavior is not a field for extensive philosophical speculation, but one in which, at least for the time being, experimental analysis of each individual case is the only legitimate procedure."(Schiller, 1957, p.175).

		Lorenz' letters to his mentor, Oscar Heinroth (who did not share Lorenz' Nazi sympathies) are full of anti-Semitic asides, and on one occasion in 1939 Lorenz refers to the "ugly Jewish nose" of the shoveler duck (Klopfer, 1994, pp.
		Lorenz stated as fact a previously little-known theory of the dual origin of the modern dog (Mech, 1970), domesticated from the lineage of the Mesopotamian jackal, and the Northern Wolf, called by Lorenz "aureus dogs" and "lupus dogs" respectively.
		Lorenz suggested that the contrast between the populations, both human and animal, of the north and the south was the same as that between wildness and domestication.

	Lorenz:On Aggression:BOOK SUMMARY
		Konrad Lorenz (1963) used animal behavior in an attempt to demonstrate how human behavior might be understood.
		Lorenz stated three functions of aggression: 1) balancing the distribution of the species, 2) selection of the strongest, and 3) defense of the young.
		Lorenz suggests that humans lack aggression inhibitors, since humans seem to be changing (socially) at a much faster rate than evolution can compensate for.

	Konrad Lorenz, Man Meets Dog
		Lorenz was born in Vienna in 1903, studied medicine at Columbia University and the University of Vienna, from which he received a doctorate in zoology.
		Lorenz propounds the thesis, which has been debated hotly, that some dogs are descended from jackals and some predominantly from wolves intermingled with the blood of jackals.
		Lorenz was firmly convinced that the breeding of dogs according to a physical standard was incompatible with breeding for mental qualities.

	Konrad Lorenz
		At a young age Lorenz had several different types of animals for pets, he had a young duckling that a neighbor had given to him, and that small duckling triggered his interest in ethology.
		Lorenz was so impressed with his own beliefs that he began to really get into the study of evolution.
		Lorenz was distraught in finding this out and immediately began spreading the word that domestication was bad for a wild species.

		The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology is a research institute for the study of animal behavior.
		After Lorenz’ death in 1989, the institute was re-named to the "Konrad Lorenz Institut für Vergleichende Verhaltensforschung" (KLIVV).
		In addition to the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology, there are two other Konrad Lorenz Institutes: the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, housed in Lorenz’s family mansion in Altenberg, Austria, and the Konrad Lorenz Research Station (Forschungsstelle) in Grünau, Austria.

	MEMORANDUM 05 - GARCIA, A. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Lorenz agrees with the pragmatist John Dewey in that the idea that a factor introduced for the purpose of explanation is nothing other than the articulation of the already known fact with a new word, an epistemological point.
		Lorenz considers that the discovery of conditioned reflex was an extremely useful tool for the analytical investigatoin of animal and human behaviour.
		Some similarities between Lorenz ideas and the attitudes of Gestalt psychologists are amazing, as the opposition in relation to Behaviourism, the influence of Physics (Lorenz’s correspondence with Max Planck), the research in the same areas (as animal intelligence), the ideas os system, the proximity with Physiology and the importance of perception, for instance.

		Lorenz has diagnosed the human condition and reasoned humans are the most violent species in the world because of our intelligence and lack of reason.
		Lorenz quotes from it as a means of seeing the need for enlightening man. Lorenz believes that the more aware man is of his dilemma with violence, the less likely his is to act irrationally.
		Lorenz's follows the same theme except instead of fate it is human aggression which is the malicious force which mankind must overcome.

		Lorenz insists, however, that the empirical foundation of the classical theory is not damaged by Lerhman’s critique.
		Lorenz introduces the concept of information to explain a very particular fact about learned behaviour, namely, to explain the fact that learned behaviour is normally well-adapted to specific, contingent features of the animal’s environment.
		Lorenz himself makes the comparison with the philosophical conception of a priori knowledge: his own definition of the concept of the innate is, he says, a conscious paraphrase of Kant’s definition of the a priori (Lorenz: 44).

		Lorenz noted with some amusement that jackdaws that had imprinted on him would court his favour by presenting him with juicy fresh earthworms and would even attempt to introduce these into his ear-holes.

		VIENNA -- Konrad Lorenz, the Austrian scientist who won a Nobel Prize in 1973 for his pioneering studies of human and animal behavior, died of kidney failure Monday in his home in Altenburg, 30 miles northeast of Vienna.
		In 1939, Dr. Lorenz was given a chair in psychology at Immanuel Kant University in Koenigsberg, then a German town and then the Soviet port of Kaliningrad.
		One of his most controversial publications was the 1966 study, "On Aggression," in which he asserted that aggressive impulses are to some degree innate, drawing on analogies between human and animal behavior.

		The science of ethology, the biological study of behavior, came into its own in the 20th century, guided in particular by the efforts of the Austrian biologist Konrad Lorenz and the Dutch biologist Niko Tinbergen.
		Lorenz was the one primarily responsible for laying the field's initial conceptual foundations.
		Tinbergen, from his first meeting with Lorenz in 1936, contributed experimental and analytical talents that were an invaluable complement to Lorenz's early theory-building.
