Classification biologique

Les espèces actuellement les plus proches de l'humain sont les deux espèces de chimpanzé : Pan troglodytes (le chimpanzé commun) et Pan paniscus (le bonobo). Par leur proximité phylogénétique avec l’homme, viennent ensuite le gorille et l'orang-outan. Le génome des humains ne diffère que de 0,27 % de celui des chimpanzés et de 0,65 % de celui des gorilles. Ces chiffres conduisent à estimer que notre lignée s'est séparée de celle des chimpanzés il y a environ cinq millions d'années, et des gorilles il y a environ sept millions d'années

Nabokov's Lectures on Literature at Cornell University where he was appointed an instructor in 1948, reveals his controversial ideas concerning art.^{[citation needed]} He firmly believed that novels should not aim to teach and that readers should not merely empathise with characters but that a 'higher' aesthetic enjoyment should be attained, partly by paying great attention to details of style and structure. He detested what he saw as 'general ideas' in novels, and so when teaching Ulysses, for example, he would insist students keep an eye on where the characters were in Dublin (with the aid of a map) rather than teaching the complex Irish history that many critics see as being essential to an understanding of the novel.

To him, the "originality, invention, conciseness, harmony, complexity, and splendid insincerity" of creating a chess problem was similar to that in any other art.

***

His Time obituary reads "Politically, Nabokov saw himself as an old-fashioned liberal, though by current standards he was a William F. Buckley conservative. His suggestion that the portrait of a head of government "should not exceed a postage stamp in size" makes good sense in any ideology.

Influenced by the Swiss anthropologist Johann Jakob Bachofen (1815–87), Walter Benjamin coined the term “auratic perception”, denoting the aesthetic faculty by means of which civilization may recover an appreciation of myth.

Baudelaire began asserting that traditional art was inadequate for the new dynamic complications of modern life.

The observer-participant dialectic

is evidenced in part by the dandy culture. Highly self-aware, and to a certain degree

flamboyant and theatrical,

dandies of the mid-nineteenth century created scenes through outrageous acts like walking turtles on leashes down the streets of Paris. [1] Such acts exemplify a flâneur's active participation in and fascination with street life while displaying

a critical attitude towards the

uniformity,
speed,
and anonymity of modern life in the city.
