He was raised as an Orthodox Jew and spent his time reading about and imagining living with silverback gorillas. By age 12, he was writing fan letters to primatologists. He attended John Dewey High School and, by that time, he was reading textbooks on the subject and teaching himself Swahili. Sapolsky describes himself as an atheist. He stated in his acceptance speech for the Emperor Has No Clothes Award in 2003, "I was raised in an Orthodox (Jewish) household, and I was raised devoutly religious up until around age 13 or so. In my adolescent years, one of the defining actions in my life was breaking away from all religious belief whatsoever." In 1978, Sapolsky received his B.A. in biological anthropology ''summa cum laude'' from Harvard University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://killerstress.stanford.edu/about-robert-sapolsky )〕 He then went to Kenya to study the social behaviors of baboons in the wild; after which he returned to New York; studying at Rockefeller University, where he received his Ph.D. in neuroendocrinology working in the lab of Bruce McEwen, a world-renowned endocrinologist. Following Sapolsky's initial year-and-a-half field study in Africa, he returned every summer for another twenty-five years to observe the same group of baboons, from the late 70s to the early 90s. He spent 8 to 10 hours a day for approximately four months each year recording the behaviors of these primates.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stanford.edu/group/howiwrite/Transcripts/Sapolsky_transcript.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Sapolsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
