Description
Zoologists study animal intelligence using a combination of ethology, psychology, and neuroscience. In this episode, look at the behavior of different animals (the use of tools by animals as diverse as otters and elephants, social learning in primates and dolphins, the famous story of a “counting” horse) to determine whether or not animals think.

"Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá debunk almost everything we 'know' about sex, pulling together various evidence from anthropology, primatology, archaeology, anatomy, and psychosexuality, to show how monogomy is far from human nature. The authors expose the ancient roots of human sexuality while pointing toward a more optimistic future illuminated by our innate capacities for love, cooperation, and generosity."--P. 4 of cover.

"After marrying a man from the Upper East Side and moving to the neighborhood, Wednesday Martin struggled to fit in. Drawing on her background in anthropology and primatology, she tried looking at her new world through that lens, and suddenly things fell into place. She understood the other mothers snobbiness at school drop-off when she compared them to olive baboons. Her obsessional quest for a Hermes Birkin handbag made sense when she realized other...

Biologist Adam Hart explores the complex relationships we have with predators, and investigates what happens when humans become prey. From big cats to army ants via snakes, bears, wolves, crocodiles, piranhas and more, Adam untangles the science behind such encounters, which are often cloaked with confusing or contradicory fear-driven myth.

"For most of the approximately 200,000 years that our species has existed, we shared the planet with at least four other types of humans. They were smart, they were strong, and they were inventive. Neanderthals even had the capacity for spoken language. But, one by one, our hominid relatives went extinct. Why did we thrive? In delightfully conversational prose and based on years of his own original research, Brian Hare, professor in the department...

"This book is about igniting the power of any manager's emotional commitment to his or her company, worth more than financial, intellectual and physical commitment combined. Sometimes companies get this from their managers in the early garage days or in times of tremendous gain, but it's almost unheard of to get it on a sustained, self-reinforced basis. Of course your company is only going to get it if you're willing to give it. Slap proves that emotional...
