Konrad Lorenz Quotes


An Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist.
Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (November 7, 1903 in Vienna – February 27, 1989 in Altenberg, Vienna) was an Austrian zoologist, ethologist, and ornithologist. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch. He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology, developing an approach that began with an earlier generation, including his teacher Oskar Heinroth. Lorenz studied instinctive behavior in animals, especially in greylag geese and jackdaws. Working with geese, he rediscovered the principle of imprinting (originally described by Douglas Spalding in the 19th century) in the behavior of nidifugous birds.

Here are some famous quotes by Konrad Lorenz.

I believe I've found the missing link between animal and civilized man. It is us.
