Radio Curious revisits a conversation about the similarities between human relationships and primate relationships, with Dario Maestriprieri, author of âGames Primates Play: An Undercover Investigation of the Evolution and Economics of Human Relationships.â
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad and Yuko Kodama are the Assistant Producers.
We humans are a lot like the other primates on earth, but because we donât associate with them, we often assume that our interpersonal behavior--how we make friends, work together, interact with strangers, relate to our spouse--is the product of our unique personalities and environment.
In this edition of Radio Curious we visit with Dario Maestripieri, author of âGames Primate Play: An Undercover Investigation of the Evolution and Economics of Human Relationships.â Heâs a professor Comparative Human Development, Evolutionary Biology, Neurobiology and Psychiatry, and Behavior Neuroscience at the University of Chicago.
Professor Maestripieri and I visited by phone from his office in Chicago, Illinois on April 16, 2012 and began with his description of the close relationship humans have with other primates.
The book Professor Dario Maestripieri recommends is âAuto-da-Fe,â by Elias Canetti.
