We Discuss “Our Inner Ape”

This time we have a format that we haven’t used in a long time–in this session, Kane Vast and I will discuss the book, Our Inner Ape, by Frans de Waal, one of the top researchers on primate behavior and evolutionary psychology in the world.

We’ll be slowing it down from the last episode which was EXTRA wild and bring up the intellectual level of this podcast a few notches, lols. If you like these kind of episodes, we can definitely do them more often.

If you like it and want to see more of these,  let us know in the form below!

In this session you’ll learn:

• Why you should read up on evolutionary psychology–even if you’re a creationist!
• Variable rewards: what they are and why you need to start doing this with your girls ASAP
• The allure and mystique of older men, explained!
• The life of alpha males
• Society vs Reality: see beyond what people want you to see
• Does size matter?
• Big fish, small pond strategy
• and a whole lot more…

The surprising science of alpha males | Frans de Waal

In this fascinating look at the “alpha male,” primatologist Frans de Waal explores the privileges and costs of power while drawing surprising parallels between how humans and primates choose their leaders. His research reveals some of the unexpected capacities of alpha males — generosity, empathy, even peacekeeping — and sheds light on the power struggles of human politicians.
