After a year, in the structure, the girl Meet Gregory Baeteson, a British anthropologist, social scientist, cyberneticist and semiologist; In addition, the scientist is known for developing the double bind theory of schizophrenia.

Without any research experience, Lovatt noticed the behavior He was adopted by marine mammals, giving him the opportunity to wander around the lab whenever he wanted.
The ultimate goal of Dr. It was John Lilly’s lab establish a language between humans and dolphins; In fact, Pamela and Sissy were already predisposed to the human sound, while Peter had a few tantrums.
In this regard, Margaret undertook a three-month coexistence experiment with the male dolphin in which she found herself full of his sexual maturity. You should know that in this type of experiment it is common to move subjects from pool to pool to bring them together and distance them from the rest of the group. Peter it made everything more difficult Given that not only was he distracted by Pamela and Sissy, but he would also have “rubbed” himself on the young volunteer’s knee, hand and foot.
