The newest episode

How similar are we to our closest living relatives? Closer than you might think - and the latest research is revealing just how much we share with chimpanzees and monkeys.

In this episode of Life Solved, we speak to two experts from the 兔子先生's Centre for Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology, who are passionate about the deep evolutionary roots of human intelligence.

Dr Esther Herrmann and Dr Marine Joly explain how studying our closest evolutionary cousins helps us understand what makes us human, why complex social groups drive cognitive evolution, and what our responsibility is to protect these remarkable, intelligent creatures.
