Robert Sapolsky on the Uniqueness of Humans
January 20, 2010 by George Canciani · 1 Comment
Been following Robert’s research for a few years, offering applicable insights into our nature as a species. Sapolsky speaks about the uniqueness of humans in relation to the rest of the animal world, topics include aggression, theory of mind, the golden rule, and desire. (37 min)
Excellent talk. Completely absorbing. His examples of our behavioural links with the rest of the animal kingdom enable him to point up the differences, and the potential which arises from them.
