Insufficient


I believe that present day civilized man suffers from insufficient discharge of his aggressive drive.   Konrad Lorenz

Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (7 November 1903 – 27 February 1989) was an Austrian zoologistethologist, and ornithologist. He shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Nikolaas Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch. He is often regarded as one of the founders of modern ethology, the study of animal behavior. He developed an approach that began with an earlier generation, including his teacher Oskar Heinroth.

Lorenz wrote numerous books, some of which, such as King Solomon’s RingOn Aggression, and Man Meets Dog, became popular reading. His last work Here I Am – Where Are You? is a summary of his life’s work and focuses on his famous studies of greylag geese.
