What makes the mind of a human different from that of other animals? Psychologist Laurie Santos says we can't know the answer to that question if we only study humans. This week, we turn to Laurie's work with monkeys to understand which parts of human behavior are distinct, and which we share with other species. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Folge vom 30.09.2019Baby TalkBabies are speaking to us all the time, but most of us have no clue what they're saying.
