Etty Hillesum
“What is primitive in me is my warmth; I have a sort of primitive love and primitive sympathy for people, for all people.”
Etty Hillesum, An Interrupted Life: The Diaries, 1941-1943; and Letters from Westerbork

“On a more curious note, there have been historical attempts - some also in current times - to 'revive' an extinct wild form, the aurochs (Stokstad 2015), perhaps an example of the 'taste for the primitive' so characteristic of diverse human endeavors (Gombrich 2002). The case of the aurochs is tied to the Heck cattle and with that to the history of Nazi Germany. It would seem there are better ways to act to restore natural environments.

Gombrich EH. 2002. The Preference for the Primitive: Episodes in the History of Western Taste and Art. Phaidon.
Stokstad E. 2015. Bringing back the aurochs. Science 350:1144-1147.”
Marcelo Sánchez-Villagra, The Process of Animal Domestication
