Donald Redfield Griffin was a prominent American professor of zoology recognized for his pioneering research in animal behavior, navigation, acoustic orientation, and sensory biophysics. His work on animal echolocation, notably in bats, during his time at Harvard University reshaped the scientific understanding of animal consciousness. Griffin advocated for the recognition of animals’ awareness akin to that of humans and introduced the concept of mentophobia, shedding light on the reluctance of some scientists to acknowledge the consciousness of other species.
