00:15
I just came back from a community
0
15260
2000
Upravo sam došla iz društva
00:17
that holds the secret to human survival.
1
17260
3000
koje nosi tajnu ljudskog preživljavanja.
00:21
It's a place where women run the show,
2
21260
3000
To je mjesto u kojemu žene drže glavnu riječ,
00:24
have sex to say hello,
3
24260
2000
imaju spolne odnose da bi se pozdravile
00:26
and play rules the day --
4
26260
2000
i gdje igra vlada danima –
00:28
where fun is serious business.
5
28260
3000
gdje je zabava ozbiljna stvar.
00:31
And no, this isn't Burning Man
6
31260
2000
I ne, ovo nije Burning Man
00:33
or San Francisco.
7
33260
2000
ni San Francisco.
00:35
(Laughter)
8
35260
2000
(Smijeh)
00:37
Ladies and gentlemen, meet your cousins.
9
37260
3000
Dame i gospodo, upoznajte svoje rođake.
00:40
This is the world of wild bonobos
10
40260
3000
Ovo je svijet divljih bonoboa
00:43
in the jungles of Congo.
11
43260
2000
u džunglama Konga.
00:45
Bonobos are, together with chimpanzees,
12
45260
3000
Bonoboi su, zajedno s čimpanzama,
00:48
your living closest relative.
13
48260
3000
naši najbliži živući rođaci.
00:51
That means we all share a common ancestor,
14
51260
3000
To znači da svi imamo zajedničkog pretka,
00:54
an evolutionary grandmother,
15
54260
2000
evolucijsku baku
00:56
who lived around six million years ago.
16
56260
3000
koja je živjela prije otprilike šest milijuna godina.
01:00
Now, chimpanzees are well-known
17
60260
2000
Čimpanze su dobro poznate
01:02
for their aggression.
18
62260
2000
po svojoj agresivnosti.
01:04
(Laughter)
19
64260
3000
(Smijeh)
01:07
But unfortunately,
20
67260
2000
Ali nažalost,
01:09
we have made too much of an emphasis
21
69260
2000
toliko smo naglasili ovaj
01:11
of this aspect
22
71260
2000
aspekt
01:13
in our narratives of human evolution.
23
73260
3000
u našim govorima o ljudskoj evoluciji.
01:16
But bonobos show us
24
76260
2000
Ali bonoboi nam pokazuju
01:18
the other side of the coin.
25
78260
2000
drugu stranu medalje.
01:20
While chimpanzees
26
80260
2000
Dok čimpanzama
01:22
are dominated by big, scary guys,
27
82260
3000
upravljaju veliki, strašni tipovi,
01:25
bonobo society
28
85260
2000
bonobovskim društvima
01:27
is run by empowered females.
29
87260
3000
upravljaju jake ženke.
01:31
These guys have really worked something out,
30
91260
3000
Ovi su tipovi zbilja nešto razradili,
01:34
since this leads to a highly tolerant society
31
94260
3000
budući da to vodi visoko tolerantnom društvu
01:37
where fatal violence
32
97260
2000
u kojemu još nije viđeno
01:39
has not been observed yet.
33
99260
3000
pogubno nasilje.
01:42
But unfortunately,
34
102260
2000
Na nesreću,
01:44
bonobos are the least understood
35
104260
2000
bonoboi su najmanje shvaćeni
01:46
of the great apes.
36
106260
2000
veliki majmuni.
01:48
They live in the depths of the Congolese jungle,
37
108260
3000
Žive u dubinama kongovske džungle
01:51
and it has been very difficult to study them.
38
111260
3000
i vrlo je teško proučavati ih.
01:54
The Congo is a paradox --
39
114260
3000
Kongo je paradoks
01:57
a land of extraordinary biodiversity and beauty,
40
117260
4000
– zemlja iznimne biološke raznolikosti i ljepote,
02:01
but also the heart of darkness itself --
41
121260
3000
ali ujedno i srce same tame –
02:04
the scene of a violent conflict
42
124260
3000
scena nasilnog sukoba
02:07
that has raged for decades
43
127260
2000
koji bijesni već desetljećima
02:09
and claimed nearly as many lives
44
129260
3000
i uzeo je života skoro
02:12
as the First World War.
45
132260
3000
kao Prvi svjetski rat.
02:16
Not surprisingly,
46
136260
2000
Ne iznenađuje
02:18
this destruction also endangers bonobo survival.
47
138260
4000
da ova destrukcija ugrožava i opstanak bonoboa.
02:22
Bushmeat trades and forest loss
48
142260
3000
Trgovina divljači i gubitak šuma
02:25
means we couldn't fill a small stadium
49
145260
3000
znači da ne možemo napuniti manji stadion
02:28
with all the bonobos that are left in the world --
50
148260
2000
sa svim bonoboima koji su ostali na svijetu,
02:30
and we're not even sure of that to be honest.
51
150260
3000
a nismo sigurni ni u to, da budem iskrena.
02:34
Yet, in this land of violence and chaos,
52
154260
4000
Ipak, u ovoj zemlji nasilja i kaosa,
02:38
you can hear hidden laughter
53
158260
3000
možete čuti skriveni smijeh
02:41
swaying the trees.
54
161260
2000
koji se njiše drvećem.
02:43
Who are these cousins?
55
163260
3000
Tko su ti rođaci?
02:46
We know them as the "make love, not war" apes
56
166260
4000
Znamo ih kao „vodite ljubav, a ne rat“ majmuni
02:50
since they have frequent, promiscuous
57
170260
2000
zato što imaju česte, promiskuitetne
02:52
and bisexual sex
58
172260
2000
i biseksualne spolne odnose
02:54
to manage conflict
59
174260
2000
kako bi se nosili sa sukobom
02:56
and solve social issues.
60
176260
2000
i rješavali društvena pitanja.
02:58
Now, I'm not saying this is the solution
61
178260
2000
Ne kažem da je to rješenje svih
03:00
to all of humanity's problems --
62
180260
3000
problema čovječanstva --
03:04
since there's more to bonobo life
63
184260
2000
jer se život bonobo majmuna
03:06
than the Kama Sutra.
64
186260
2000
ne svodi samo na Kama Sutru.
03:08
Bonobos, like humans,
65
188260
2000
Bonoboi se, kao i ljudi,
03:10
love to play throughout their entire lives.
66
190260
2000
vole igrati cijeloga života.
03:12
Play is not just child's games.
67
192260
2000
Igranje nije samo dječja igra.
03:14
For us and them,
68
194260
2000
Za nas i za njih,
03:16
play is foundational for bonding relationships
69
196260
3000
igra je osnova za učvršćivanje odnosa
03:19
and fostering tolerance.
70
199260
2000
i gajenje tolerancije.
03:21
It's where we learn to trust
71
201260
2000
Tamo učimo vjerovati,
03:23
and where we learn about the rules of the game.
72
203260
3000
i tamo učimo pravila igre.
03:26
Play increases creativity
73
206260
2000
Igra povećava kreativnost
03:28
and resilience,
74
208260
3000
i otpornost,
03:31
and it's all about the generation of diversity --
75
211260
3000
a sve je u stvaranju različitosti,
03:34
diversity of interactions,
76
214260
2000
različitosti interakcija,
03:36
diversity of behaviors,
77
216260
2000
različitosti ponašanja,
03:38
diversity of connections.
78
218260
3000
različitosti veza.
03:41
And when you watch bonobo play,
79
221260
2000
I kada gledate bonoboe kako se igraju,
03:43
you're seeing the very evolutionary roots
80
223260
3000
vidite evolucijske korake
03:46
of human laughter, dance
81
226260
2000
ljudskog smijeha, plesa
03:48
and ritual.
82
228260
2000
i rituala.
03:50
Play is the glue
83
230260
2000
Igra je ta nit
03:52
that binds us together.
84
232260
2000
koja nas povezuje.
03:54
Now, I don't know how you play,
85
234260
3000
Ne znam kako se vi igrate,
03:57
but I want to show you a couple of unique clips
86
237260
2000
ali želim vam pokazati nekoliko jedinstvenih isječaka
03:59
fresh from the wild.
87
239260
2000
ravno iz divljine.
04:01
First, it's a ball game bonobo-style --
88
241260
3000
Prvo, igra loptama na bonobovski način,
04:04
and I do not mean football.
89
244260
3000
i pritom ne mislim na nogomet.
04:07
So here,
90
247260
2000
Ovdje imamo
04:09
we have a young female and a male
91
249260
2000
mladu ženku i mužjaka
04:11
engaged in a chase game.
92
251260
3000
koji su uključeni u igru lovice.
04:14
Have a look what she's doing.
93
254260
2000
Pogledajte što ona radi.
04:16
It might be the evolutionary origin of the phrase,
94
256260
2000
To je možda evolucijsko podrijetlo izraza:
04:18
"she's got him by the balls."
95
258260
2000
„uhvatila ga je za testise.“
04:20
(Laughter)
96
260260
3000
(Smijeh)
04:23
Only I think that he's rather loving it here, right?
97
263260
3000
Samo što mislim da on uživa.
04:27
Yeah.
98
267260
2000
Da.
04:29
(Laughter)
99
269260
2000
(Smijeh)
04:31
So sex play is common
100
271260
2000
Seksualne igre su česte
04:33
in both bonobos and humans.
101
273260
2000
i kod bonoboa i kod ljudi.
04:35
And this video is really interesting
102
275260
2000
I ovaj je video zanimljiv
04:37
because it shows --
103
277260
2000
jer pokazuje --
04:39
this video's really interesting
104
279260
2000
I ovaj je video zanimljiv
04:41
because it shows the inventiveness
105
281260
2000
jer pokazuje domišljatost
04:43
of bringing unusual elements into play --
106
283260
3000
uvođenja neobičnog elementa u igru --
04:46
such as testicles --
107
286260
3000
poput testisa –
04:49
and also how play both requires trust
108
289260
3000
i također kako igra zahtjeva povjerenje
04:52
and fosters trust --
109
292260
3000
i gradi povjerenje,
04:55
while at the same time being tremendous fun.
110
295260
2000
a u isto vrijeme je vrlo zabavna.
04:57
But play's a shapeshifter.
111
297260
2000
Ali igra mijenja svoj oblik.
04:59
(Laughter)
112
299260
3000
(Smijeh)
05:02
Play's a shapeshifter,
113
302260
2000
Igra mijenja svoj oblik
05:04
and it can take many forms,
114
304260
2000
i može uzeti razne forme,
05:06
some of which are more quiet,
115
306260
2000
od kojih su neke tiše,
05:08
imaginative, curious --
116
308260
2000
maštovitije, znatiželjnije –
05:10
maybe where wonder is discovered anew.
117
310260
3000
možda se ondje čuda iznova otkrivaju.
05:13
And I want you to see,
118
313260
2000
I želim da vidite,
05:15
this is Fuku, a young female,
119
315260
2000
ovo je Fuku, mlada ženka
05:17
and she is quietly playing with water.
120
317260
2000
i tiho se igra s vodom.
05:19
I think, like her,
121
319260
2000
Mislim, da se kao i ona i
05:21
we sometimes play alone,
122
321260
2000
mi ponekad igramo sami
05:23
and we explore the boundaries
123
323260
2000
i istražujemo granice
05:25
of our inner and our outer worlds.
124
325260
3000
svog unutarnjeg i vanjskog svijeta.
05:28
And it's that playful curiosity
125
328260
2000
I ta nas zaigrana znatiželja
05:30
that drives us to explore, drives us to interact,
126
330260
3000
vodi istraživanju, vodi nas interakciji.
05:34
and then the unexpected connections we form
127
334260
3000
I onda su neočekivane veze koje stvaramo
05:37
are the real hotbed for creativity.
128
337260
3000
pravi izvor kreativnosti.
05:41
So these are just small tasters
129
341260
3000
Ovo su samo mali pokazatelji
05:44
into the insights that bonobo give us
130
344260
2000
spoznaja koje nam bonoboi daju
05:46
to our past and present.
131
346260
3000
o našoj prošlosti i sadašnjosti.
05:49
But they also hold a secret for our future,
132
349260
3000
Ali oni također nose i tajnu za našu budućnost,
05:52
a future where we need to adapt
133
352260
2000
budućnost u kojoj se moramo prilagođavati
05:54
to an increasingly challenging world
134
354260
3000
sve izazovnijem svijetu
05:57
through greater creativity
135
357260
2000
preko veće kreativnosti
05:59
and greater cooperation.
136
359260
2000
i bolje suradnje.
06:01
The secret is that play is the key
137
361260
3000
Tajna je da je igra ključ
06:04
to these capacities.
138
364260
2000
ovih kapaciteta.
06:06
In other words,
139
366260
2000
Drugim riječima,
06:08
play is our adaptive wildcard.
140
368260
2000
igra je naš prilagodbeni džoker.
06:10
In order to adapt successfully
141
370260
2000
Da bismo se uspješno prilagodili
06:12
to a changing world,
142
372260
2000
promjenjivom svijetu,
06:14
we need to play.
143
374260
3000
moramo se igrati.
06:18
But will we make the most of our playfulness?
144
378260
3000
Ali hoćemo li iskoristiti svoju razigranost najbolje što možemo?
06:21
Play is not frivolous.
145
381260
2000
Igra nije neozbiljna,
06:23
Play's essential.
146
383260
2000
igra je nužna.
06:25
For bonobos and humans alike,
147
385260
3000
Za bonoboe i ljude,
06:28
life is not just red in tooth and claw.
148
388260
3000
život nije samo okrutna divljina.
06:31
In times when it seems least appropriate to play,
149
391260
3000
U vremenima kad se čini najmanje prikladno igrati se,
06:34
it might be the times when it is most urgent.
150
394260
3000
moglo bi biti da su to vremena u kojima je to najnužnije.
06:38
And so, my fellow primates,
151
398260
3000
I tako, moji kolege primati,
06:41
let us embrace this gift from evolution
152
401260
3000
prigrlimo ovaj dar evolucije
06:44
and play together,
153
404260
2000
i igrajmo se zajedno,
06:46
as we rediscover creativity,
154
406260
3000
i tako otkrivajmo kreativnost,
06:49
fellowship and wonder.
155
409260
2000
suradnju i čuđenje.
06:51
Thank you.
156
411260
2000
Hvala vam.
06:53
(Applause)
