Zoologist and founder (with Nikolaas Tinbergen) of modern
ethology.
While still a schoolboy he nursed sick animals from the nearby zoo. In 1935 he first elucidated and demonstrated the phenomenon of
imprinting in ducklings and goslings. He later examined the roots of human aggression (in the
best-selling On Aggression, 1963) and the nature of human thought. His other popular works include
King Solomon's Ring (1949) and
Man Meets Dog (1950). He shared a 1973 Nobel Prize with Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch.
