What an amazing episode. So many great questions by Prof. Carroll (how does he come up with so many relevant questions in areas that are not in his field??!!), with clear and to-the-point explanations by de Waal. This is so well done. One of my favorite Mindscape episodes.
at about 47 min, on repurposing empathy and other behaviors, I think it was Neil Shubin who mentioned that genes are repurposed, or maybe parts of the genome, as it is more efficient to re-use parts of the genome than have to evolve the needed machinery from scratch, assuming that could be done to get to the same endpoint.
It's so refreshing to hear an ethology expert say that behaviour and gender roles come from both genes and socialization, and it's very hard to measure the role of these factors. I'm so tired of people assuming that science has already figured it out and it's either all nature or all nurture - depending who you ask. Thank you for this interview!
At 56:09 de Waal answers a question regarding emotions and mentions the book 'Mama's Last Hug'. Mama's last hug th-cam.com/video/INa-oOAexno/w-d-xo.html was, indeed, emotional.
There’s a lot of post menopausal women looking out for the interests of their metaphorical daughters and their female offspring by trying to make sure the culture doesn’t approve of males taking over their collective spaces or cutting up their children. It’s amazing how one can interpret why we behave as we do.
I'm an atheist and realistically speaking the chimps are FAR more successful for a reason. Being patriarchal and more intelligent is far more genetically advantageous than what bonobos do. It works in an isolated area with very little competition and an abundance of fruits but patriarchy and violence are the default for a reason.
All Knowledge produced during the fossil fuels age - should be revisited - post the age - to separate what social engineering was in it from Knowledge: "In Any System of Energy, Control is What Consumes Energy the Most." Wailing.

Everything you do is interesting but this is especially fascinating. I didn't know much of the information presented. Thanks for this
Captivating conversation on a fascinating topic. Thank you Dr Carroll.

What a thoughtful and thought provoking episode!
My Monday just improved significantly
Sean You're just awesome. Thank you for doing this. You're very open minded and a kind hearted person.
Always fascinating listening to Dr. de Waal

Great episode! Brilliant conversation!!
A beautiful interview.
Great guest and discussion. I especially liked Prof. de Waal's closing remarks.

Physicist with a Biologist. :)) Perfection.
Wonderful interview.
RIP Frans
Amazing Podcast. This was so interesting
Fascinating! Thank you.
Excellent👏

Great pod, thanks.
Sean is asking if there are individual differences among chimpanzees - not about Inter species differences. A very different question.
Awesome!!!
Wait until the evangelists find out about the bobos
Bonbos

Wonder if autism has a play in this for humans intolerance

Frans sounds exactly like Max Verstappen😂
