I am interested in literary genealogies, those literary families that change the course of scientific and cultural history: the Darwins, the Huxleys, the Godwins.

Research into the chimpanzees of Budongo found 34 instances of the chimpanzees practicing self-care, whether it be something as simple as licking their wounds to something more complex, such as chewing up plants and putting the material on a wound.
Chimps sometimes care for others’ wounds, and scientists want to know why
There is still debate, researchers say, over whether the behavior is instinctual or based in more complex thought or even empathy.

Last year the Japanese variety show Gaki no Tsukai had the famous singer Yoko Takahashi go undercover at a restaurant where she fooled everyone right up until she took the stage and belted out A Cruel Angel's Thesis, the intro song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just stunning.
