Drs. Lane and Steklis discussed how emotional awareness is a *skill* that requires effort to acquire, and seems to be uniquely human. Emotional awareness evolved with self-aware consciousness and language to promote social accountability in human groups. Netzin Steklis lead a discussion how our present educational institutions should recognize the critical importance of teaching self-awareness (especially emotional awareness).

“The Mountain Gorilla in 3 Dimensions” lecture as part of the art exhibit
The Twilight of the Gorilla by Bob Ziering,
Marywood University, September 2008.
Bob Ziering’s portraits of gorillas are more than two-dimensional representations; they evoke thinking about a deeper dimension of gorilla existence, including our emotional connection to them. We explore this multi-dimensional understanding based on scientific discoveries about gorilla biology/social behavior as well as our personal experiences in the field, including interactions with individual gorilla personalities.
