Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfeldt b. 1928
Like Morris, Irenäus Eibl-Eibesfield applied ethology to
humans by researching them in a perspective usually reserved for the study of
other animals. He is the founder of the research branch Human Ethology and
headed up his own research unit. With his Human Ethology Film Archive and an
impressive life's work on publications, Eibl-Eibesfeldt held one of the world's
largest comparative cultural documentary archive about human behaviour. He is
the author of many books such as Love and Hate: The Natural History of
Behavior Patterns and Human Ethology and his research towards
evolutionary biology of human perception, sensation, thought and behaviour
includes the origin of kissing, and the eyebrow flash as way of recognising and
greeting.
