		In other words, they closed their hearts.'' Coetzee is obviously aware of the potential noxiousness of this terrain (the poet Abraham Stern scorns Costello's use of the analogy: ``You misunderstand the nature of likenesses; I would even say you misunderstand willfully, to the point of blasphemy''), and he uses it with provocative intent.
		Self-evident, though, is our collective failure of nerve (Thomas Aquinas through Descartes and Kant to today) to unleash ``the extent to which we can think ourselves into the being of another.'' Perhaps, Coetzee implies, rational thought, lagging behind sympathy, will follow its lead if powerful fictions and images can trigger our fellow feelings.
		As in the story of Elizabeth Costello, the Tanner Lecture is followed by responses treating the reader to a variety of perspectives, delivered by leading thinkers in different fields.

	A Tough Nut To Crack For Evolution - CBS News
		Then in late September, keepers at a Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International sanctuary in this eastern Congo city saw 2½-year-old female gorilla Itebero smashing palm nuts between rocks using the "hammer and anvil" technique, considered among the most complex tool-use behaviors.
		He said the finding indicates that complex tool use may not be a trait developed only by humans and chimpanzees and could have its origins earlier in the evolutionary chain, among ancestors common to both humans and their closest relatives, the great apes.
		In an e-mail message Monday from the Republic of Congo's Nouabale-Ndoki National Park, Breuer said that in 10 years of observation, his team had seen only two instances of tool use among gorillas, a stick used to test the depth of a pond, and a small tree trunk used for support and as a bridge.

	Intro
		Two veteran primatologists voice lesser degrees of scepticism about the cognitive and moral capacities of apes.
		Irwin Bernstein doubts that questions about animal intention and awareness of norms are experimentally tractable and apparently believes that less cognitive explanations of behaviour should therefore be preferred.
		Ethnographer Robert Dentan also remarks the generally unequal status of women and younger males and observes that the moral order established by the local arbiters of this may not serve equally the interests of all members of even simple societies.
