Isabella Rossellini Instagram – A bad selfie with a splendid human being primatologist Frans de Whaal who , to use his own words” .. brought apes a little closer to humans but I’ve also brought humans down a bit”. His passing saddens me a lot. I also feel tremendous gratitude that he lived and shared his knowledge about animal behavior beyond the scientific community. His books shaped my thinking , my understanding of life. If you haven’t read his books please do. “Mama’s Last Hug” is my favorite. I had the privilege to meet him and interview him in Brooklyn for his last book “ Different :gender through the eyes of a primatologist ” 💔 #fransdewaal
