Listen "What can animals teach us about ourselves? In conversation with Frans de Waal"
Episode Synopsis
There was a time (and not so long ago) we thought animals were 'mere machines’, incapable of inner life or emotions. Now we know better and are beginning to understand the extraordinarily rich inner life of primates and some other species.
