Hvorfor trenger vi å leke? De siste årene har dette spørsmålet blitt stadig mer diskutert, og mange av oss har kanskje innsett at vi i lengre tid har undervurdert lekens viktighet. I 2022 utga lege Charlotte Lunde og professor i nevrobiologi Per Brodal boken Lek og læring i et nevroperspektiv. Hvordan gode intensjoner kan ødelegge barns lærelyst. I den argumenterer de for at leken er enormt viktig for barns utvikling og trivsel, og om de skadervirkninger som følger av at vi har et samfunn hvor barn har stadig mindre frihet og anledning til å leke. Vi har tidligere snakket med Per Brodal her på podkasten (ep.102), og i denne episoden er det Charlotte Lunde som forteller oss om lekens status i skolen og i barns liv generelt, og hva som har skjedd i de tre årene siden de publiserte boken sin.  Vi snakker om ulike typer lek, lek blant dyr, lekens rolle i å trene opp sosiale ferdigheter, lekeslossing, aldersblanding, frilek i skolen, samfunnets økende krav til selvregulering samtidig som vi får mindre anledning til å oppøve disse ferdighetene, følelsen av kontroll i eget liv, foreldrestil, hva det er som har endret seg i kulturen, Gro Dahles barnebok Ikke, flere diagnoser, seksårsreformen, naturens rolle i lek, hvordan tid i naturen påvirker konsentrasjonsevnen, problemet med begreper som lekbasert læring, hvorfor foreldre ikke alltid trenger å leke med barna sine, foreldre bør gjøre det de har lyst til iblant, den frie barndommen, overbeskyttelse i den virkelige verden og underbeskyttelse i den digitale verden.  Charlottes anbefalinger:  Gro Dahle, Ikke, 2022 Jonathan Haidt, The Coddling of the American Mind, 2019 Barbara Natterson-Horowitz og Kathryn Bowers, Wildhood: The Astounding Connections between Human and Animal Adolescents, 2019 Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens, 2018   Andre bøker og artikler nevnt i episoden:  Charlotte Lunde og Per Brodal, Lek og læring i et nevroperspektiv.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Arwen Podesta, an addiction specialist and integrative psychiatrist, about the science of addiction, with a focus on how drugs impact the brain.We break down how substances like alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine, and particularly opiates like fentanyl affect brain function. Dr. Podesta explains the role of our dopamine, serotonin, and opioid systems in driving cravings and addiction.We also discuss the potential benefits and risks of substances like psilocybin, cannabis, and ketamine, along with the causes of addiction—from genetics to environment—and possible solutions, including nature, connection, psychedelics, and nutrition.Learn about addiction in animals and how their behaviors shed light on human struggles with addiction.Join us for an action-packed conversation that uncovers the complexities of addiction and explores new approaches to understanding and addressing it.RESOURCESARTICLES- Magic Mushrooms, Teens, and Young Adults by Mark GoldBOOKS- HOOKED by Arwen Podesta- Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky - Zoobiquity by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz & Kathryn BowersORGANIZATIONS- HMP Global- Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH)- Integrative Psychiatry Institute- Psychiatry Redefined- UCLAPEOPLE- Mark Gold- Matthew Perry**Connect and Learn More** website: podestawellness.combook: HOOKEDInstagram: @podesta.wellnessLinkedIn: /arwen-podesta-md-8a396042

Chapter 1 What's Zoobiquity Book by Barbara Natterson-HorowitzZoobiquity is a book written by cardiologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers. The book explores the concept of comparative medicine, which is the study of animal and human health in order to improve the understanding of diseases and their treatments. Through various case studies and examples, the authors highlight how many diseases and medical conditions that affect humans also exist in other animal species. The book aims to bridge the gap between veterinary medicine and human medicine and encourages a more collaborative approach to healthcare. Zoobiquity was published in 2012 and has received praise for its unique perspective and insights into the interconnectedness of animal and human health.Chapter 2 Is Zoobiquity Book A Good Book"Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing" by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers has generally received positive reviews. The book explores the intersection of human and animal health, using fascinating case studies to draw parallels between humans and animals in terms of medical diagnoses, treatments, and even behavioral aspects. It aims to provide insights into various health conditions we share with animals and how studying them can improve medical research and treatments for both humans and animals. If you have an interest in both human and animal biology and medicine, the book may be worth considering.Chapter 3 Zoobiquity Book by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz Summary"Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health" is a book written by Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers. The book explores the concept of the interconnectedness between human and animal health, and how studying diseases and conditions that affect both humans and animals can lead to a better understanding and treatment for both.Dr. Natterson-Horowitz, a cardiologist, and Kathryn Bowers, a science journalist, came up with the term "zoobiquity" to describe this approach. They delve into several medical case studies that highlight the similarities between human and animal diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, psychiatric disorders, obesity, and substance abuse.The authors argue that by studying and comparing how these diseases affect both humans and animals, medical professionals can gain valuable insights into potential treatment options and preventive measures. They suggest that the traditional divide between human and veterinary medicine should be narrowed and that collaboration between the two fields can benefit both.Throughout the book, the authors provide compelling examples of how studying animals can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine. They discuss how veterinarians have successfully used chemotherapy to treat cancer in pets, which has led to similar treatments being developed for human cancer patients. They also explore how the study of animal behavior can help shed light on human psychiatric disorders.Furthermore, the book explores the concept of "One Health," which emphasizes the interconnectedness between human, animal, and environmental health. The authors argue that by taking a holistic approach to medicine and considering the health of the entire ecosystem, a more comprehensive and effective approach to healthcare can be achieved.Overall, "Zoobiquity" is a thought-provoking book that sheds light on the similarities between human and animal health. It encourages collaboration between the medical fields of human and veterinary medicine and highlights the potential benefits that can be derived from studying animals to improve human health.

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, authors of the book Wildhood, explain the four needs of every adolescent as they transition to healthy adults. Plus, the surprising biology behind teen risk-taking behavior, particularly in groups!Exercise: Create a "Status Sanctuary"As Barbara and Kathryn discuss, the teen brain is primed to climb the status ladder.  Teens are usually at the bottom of hierarchies with more experienced adults at the top making rules. Because of this, adolescents are constantly stressed about status. If your teen has ever acted like losing a friend or getting in a fight with a friend is “life or death,” according to Barbara and Kathryn, for teen's brains,  it truly feels that way.To help relieve the constant underlying anxiety due to status climbing, Kathryn and Barbara suggest creating a “status sanctuary” where teens can be free from constant comparison. It doesn't have to be a spa-like experience, but it should ideally be done alone and sans technology. For your teen a status sanctuary might be something active, like going for a run or a hike. Or maybe they enjoy doing art, crafting, or baking. Encourage your teen to take a “status sanctuary” and offer to give them a room/space completely to themselves for one hour if needed. Remember, no looking at social media or scrolling through old text messages as both are social-status centered activities.

While it is commonly assumed that prevalent health issues like heart disease, obesity, and depression are uniquely human experiences, they exist across multiple species.Despite the undeniable connection rooted in our shared animal nature, a perceptible barrier remains between human and veterinary medicine and psychology, often driven by the notion of human exceptionalism.Barbara Natterson-Horowitz is a cardiologist, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at UCLA, a visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, as well as a New York Times bestselling author. Her latest book “Wildhood” examines the surprising parallels of adolescent humans and animals in navigating risk and social hierarchies, how to connect romantically, and how to live independently.Barbara and Greg talk about the importance of removing the blindfold of human exceptionalism and a cross-species approach to medicine and psychology, which includes veterinary and evolutionary perspectives, to gain valuable insights from other species.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What are the core competencies of being an adult?54:24: Adolescence occurs across vertebrates, and even—we studied lobsters, crayfish, and so on—invertebrates. And that we decided to make the definition our own, and this was based on a number of studies that we did to figure out what are the core competencies of being an adult. And we said, "Okay, it starts with puberty. And it ends when an animal has mastered four core competencies, which are staying safe, learning to navigate social structures and hierarchies, learning to communicate sexually, not have sex because, as we say, copulation is easy, courtship is hard, and then finally learning to feed yourself and be independent.The connection between human and animal medicine57:47: If you ask physicians today what is the connection between human and animal medicine, they'll say infection; they'll say what is called zoonosis; and what they'll leave out are the connections around heart disease and psychiatry, which is mental health.What is most likely to kill wild animals?23:15: The risk of starvation is a clear and present danger when you look at what is most likely to kill wild animals. And there is some debate about what is the greatest danger. And it probably varies, but starvation, predation, and infection are definitely high up there. And the three interact. So starvation is a clear and present danger to survival.Recognizing biodiversity21:02: Part of biodiversity is physiologic diversity, and part of physiologic diversity is neurophysiologic diversity, and neurophysiologic diversity shapes behavior. So there's this continuity that I don't think most psychotherapists and psychiatrists are sufficiently aware of.Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at UCLABarbara Natterson-Horowitz's WebsiteBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on LinkedInBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on TwitterBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on TEDMEDHer Work:Wildhood: The Astounding Connections between Human and Animal AdolescentsZoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz & Kathryn BowersBarbara Natterson-Horowitz on Google Scholar

Att vara tonåring handlar inte sällan om att pröva gränser och pendla mellan myndigt och barnsligt beteende, med jämnåriga. Malin Krutmeijer ser hur människor och andra djur förenas i vuxenblivandet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 19 februari 2020. På en tågresa hem från Tyskland slog sig en grupp ungdomar ner i fyrsätet bredvid mitt. De var tre tjejer och en kille, gissningsvis 18-19 år gamla. De kastade sig över ett paket chokladkex som hungriga vargar. Deras intensiva samtal varvade snabbt upp till tordönsnivå, avbrutet endast av våldsamma fnissattacker. En tjej löste upp sin hästsvans och slängde sin praktfulla hårman rätt över mittgången så att den, utan att hon märkte det, nuddade smörgåsen som jag med vuxen diskretion satt och mumsade på. Folk omkring började utbyta blickar och smacka ogillande med tungan. Sedan fick en annan av flickorna telefon, och då gav hon plötsligt direktiv i luren på ett oerhört professionellt sätt. Det lät som att det var någon från jobbet som ringde, och betraktade henne som en auktoritet. Efter telefonsamtalet började hon, skrikande och skrattande, skojbrottas med killen som satt bredvid henne. De var med andra ord fyra helt normala ungdomar i fasen mellan pubertet och vuxen. Inte bara det: om vi ska tro evolutionsbiologen Barbara Natterson-Horowitz och vetenskapsjournalisten Kathryn Bowers så var de väldigt lika de flesta djur i samma livsfas. Alltifrån pingviner till knölvalar, apor och människor går igenom denna mognadsperiod, då de framstår som ömsom yviga och våghalsiga, ömsom vuxna och balanserade, och väldigt orienterade mot andra jämnåriga. I sin bok ”Wildhood: an epic journey from adolescence to adulthood in humans and other animals” driver författarna tesen att ungdomstiden är artöverskridande och universell. Adolescensen definierar de som den sociala och mentala mognadsprocess som fortsätter i flera år efter puberteten. Boken dignar av exempel från djurriket, alla baserade på forskningsstudier. Författarnas jämförande infallsvinkel är inspirerad av antropologen Margaret Mead, särskilt hennes klassiker ”Coming of age in Samoa” från 1928. Men Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers tar alltså det komparativa perspektivet vidare, och inkluderar djurens värld. Det är smått revolutionerande, men mot fonden av annan forskning om djurs kommunikation, känsloliv och intellektuella förmågor så är det kanske inte så anmärkningsvärt ändå. De senaste årens populärvetenskapliga litteratur berättar saker som att grisar kan reflektera över sin individuella existens, och att bläckfiskar pratar med varandra genom komplicerade färgsignaler. Så varför skulle deras ungdom inte kunna dela många grundläggande drag med vår? Författarna identifierar fyra centrala färdigheter som ungdomar av alla arter behöver tillskansa sig. De måste hålla sig i säkerhet, kunna navigera i sociala hierarkier, lära sig att uttrycka sin sexualitet och förstå sexuella signaler, och klara av att lämna boet och försörja sig själv. För att träna på allt detta ger de sig ut på äventyr, helst ihop med andra i samma ålder. Och man kan säga att det var just dessa saker som ungdomarna bredvid mig på tåget höll på med. De var tyskar på väg till Danmark – ett litet äventyr en bit hemifrån. De reste i grupp, och var därför mycket tryggare än om de hade gett sig iväg var för sig. Om någon hotade dem skulle de till exempel kunna göra som unga laxar: vända sig om i en koordinerad formation och skrämma bort angriparen. Tjejen som fick telefon från jobbet försörjde kanske redan sig själv. Hon framstod också som en oomstridd ledargestalt i gruppen. Det var hon som pratade med tågkonduktören, och det var hon som tog initiativ till kortspel och chokladkexätande. Det var dessutom hon som skojbrottades med gruppens kille – och finns det något mer klassiskt beteende bland halvstora däggdjursvalpar än skojbrottning? Min egen hund strålade av lycka när han i ettårsåldern umgicks med en lika muskulös och brottningssugen tik i samma ålder. Så tränar, enligt ”Wildhood”, unga djur inför strid men också konflikthantering. De skapar starka band med varandra när de brottas. Man skulle kunna lägga till att det ibland också kan vara ett sätt att aningen klumpigt signalera sexuellt intresse. En annan sak som unga gör är något som Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers kallar ”predator inspection”, att undersöka rovdjur eller mer generellt faror. När fladdermöss i den här åldern hör ett varningsrop från en vuxen artfrände kan de reagera med att flyga rakt mot faran. De vill se vad det är. Själv tänker jag osökt på hur jag och mina kompisar i början av 80-talet ringde den så kallade ”Heta linjen”. Det var ett primitivt förstadium till sociala medier, där alla som ringde kunde prata samtidigt med varandra i telefon. Givetvis kryllade där av snuskiga gubbar, tyvärr just en typ av fara som flickor i tonåren behöver lära sig att identifiera. Vi inspekterade så att säga rovdjuren tillsammans, på avstånd och i trygg gemenskap. Den här tendensen att söka upp faror oroar vuxenvärlden, åtminstone den mänskliga. De vuxna kungspingviner som skildras i ”Wildhood” tittar däremot inte ens när deras avkomma kastar sig i havet som är fullt av pingvinätande sjöleoparder. Men den mänskliga adolescensen har traditionellt varit kringgärdad av kontrollinstanser. Det kan handla om alltifrån passageriter där ungdomarna möter olika utmaningar under kontrollerade former, till att tvinga väldigt unga flickor in i äktenskap. I samtida, uttalat moderna samhällen är balansgången delikat på ett annat sätt. Det finns en förväntan på ungdomar att de ska vara kreativa och rebelliska, men de får ju å andra sidan helst inte göra revolution eller bli helt depraverade. Minns utbrotten av så kallad moralpanik över dansbanorna, videovåldet, hårdrocken och dataspelen. Plötsligt känner sig vuxenvärlden alltför främmande för ungdomskulturen och drabbas av panik – i regel förgäves. Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers är för sin del mest oroade över internet och sociala medier. Där pågår, menar de, dag och natt en stenhård statuskamp bland unga, som de aldrig får vila ifrån. I djurens värld varierar det mellan arterna hur hierarkisk deras sociala värld är, men alla behöver lära sig hur man navigerar bland rangordningar och statusmarkörer. Den mest fantastiska historien i boken är den om hyenavalpen Shrinks klassresa. Hyenor lever i starkt hierarkiska flockar, och Shrink föddes på botten. Hans mamma var mycket ranglåg, och till råga på allt hade han en dominant tvillingsyster. Faktum var att Shrink låg illa till för att dö av svält. Men när han hamnade i ett slags ungdomslya, där hyenaföräldrar placerar sina valpar när de nått en viss ålder, började han omedelbart ta initiativ till så kallade vänskapspromenader. Att gå på tur ihop är ett viktigt sätt för hyenor att skapa sociala band, och Shrink blev en uppskattad promenadpartner bland sina jämnåriga. Efter ett tag lyckades han dessutom övertala flockens obestridliga ledare, ”hyenadrottningen” kallas hon i boken, om att han också skulle få dia jämte hennes egen valp. Shrink fick nu näringsrik mat och många vänner. Han kom att leva ett bekvämt liv någonstans i mitten av flockens hierarki. Vad ska vi då dra för slutsatser av allt det här? Att social kompetens i vissa lägen kan rädda ens liv. Att bakom ungdomars påfrestande stökighet döljs en avancerad mognadsprocess. Och att snart sagt varje ny forskningsstudie om djurs beteenden och förmågor för dem närmare oss människor.

What do you call a veterinarian that can only take care of one species? A physician.  As you just heard from our guest today, Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, who is a physician, who'll share how a species-spanning approach to health can improve medical care of the human animal — particularly when it comes to mental health.  Dr. Natterson-Horowitz is co-author of the amazing book and creator of the TV series, Zoobiquity, Zoobiquity explored how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species.  Infertility, lung cancer, anxiety, obesity, eating disorders, heart attacks, and PTSD are common in humans, but they are not uniquely human disorders. Concerns about the diseases associated with animals have encouraged researchers around the world to try to bridge the gap between animal and human medicine. Drawing on the latest in medical and veterinary science—as well as evolutionary and molecular biology—it's now understood that animals and humans suffer from many of the same health problems. Practitioners and researchers are actively comparing the human and veterinary approaches to shared ailments and transforming medical practices and research in the process. Through observation and research studying animals in natural settings, cardiologist and evolutionary biologist and Smithsonian Associate Barbara Natterson-Horowitz has uncovered evolved adaptations for some of these conditions. She explores how our vulnerability to illnesses has its roots in our ancient evolutionary past and how understanding physical and mental illness in wild animals—from depression and self-harm to cardiac disease—has the potential to make us physically and mentally healthier humans.  Barbara Natterson-Horowitz will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates via zoom very soon, but we've got Dr. Natterson-Horowitz today to answer our questions and give you a glimpse into her upcoming presentation at Smithsonian Associates, titled:  "It's Possible to Be Sick as a Dog: Linking Human and Animal Health" My thanks to Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz.  Dr. Natterson-Horowitz will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates via Zoom coming up, and the title of Dr. Natterson-Horowitz's presentation at Smithsonian Associates is  "It's Possible to Be Sick as a Dog: Linking Human and Animal Health"   Please check our website for more details.   My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast.  Please be well, and be safe, which I'm telling you each show, followed by my message to eliminate assault rifles.

Cardiologist and evolutionary biologist Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz describes herself as an innovator for human health. She is a professor at Harvard University's department of human evolutionary biology and a professor of medicine at UCLA. She's also the co-author of bestselling books Zoobiquity and Wildhood. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz studies a range of wild animals including lions and giraffes in their natural settings, observing their evolutionary adaptations, which then offer clues for potential solutions to common medical disorders in humans. She says the biology of some female animals has evolved over centuries to resist diseases that still claim the lives of women today.

Dr. Josh Belfer continues his discussion with Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, cardiologist and evolutionary biologist, about the concept of One Health. They discuss how we can learn about mental illness from animals, and why medical students are spending more time learning about medicine at the zoo.

What insight can be gained about humans by examining animals first? If groups of animals are vulnerable to specific factors, chances are, humans may be too. Press play to learn: What increased vulnerability in animals can tell us about humans If animals share behaviors with humans  How other species may be susceptible to breast cancer Barbara Natterson Horowitz, a cardiologist and evolutionary biologist at Harvard Medical School, shares her work examining the natural world and gaining insights into the human experience. Attempting to understand human health without examining that of animals and the planet tends to be relatively ineffective. However, by reviewing how disease and other processes emerge in other species, more can be learned about human vulnerability and how some negatives can be avoided.  By looking for other species that contain unique biology, there may be solutions to problems humans have been unable to solve. In the future, searching for plausible hypotheses is the primary goal of researchers in this field, hopefully leading to a rich source of insights. Visit bnatterson-horowitz.com for more information.

Following a tragic loss in her family this week, Annie, worried about how the death will impact the health of her grief-stricken loved ones, remembered the first chapter from the 2012 book Zoobiquity, on the potentially-fatal heart condition that was discovered separately by veterinarians and by human cardiologists: Broken Heart Syndrome. It's called Takotsubo (when it effects humans) and Capture Myopathy (when in other species). The chapter goes on to talk about the "One Health" movement and to argue that human doctors (aka veterinarians who only work with one species) could learn something from those who work with medical conditions in other animals, and encourages readers to be more humble about humans' place in the animal kingdom.

Att vara tonåring handlar inte sällan om att pröva gränser och pendla mellan myndigt och barnsligt beteende, med jämnåriga. Malin Krutmeijer ser hur människor och andra djur förenas i vuxenblivandet. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad den 19 februari 2020. På en tågresa hem från Tyskland slog sig en grupp ungdomar ner i fyrsätet bredvid mitt. De var tre tjejer och en kille, gissningsvis 18-19 år gamla. De kastade sig över ett paket chokladkex som hungriga vargar. Deras intensiva samtal varvade snabbt upp till tordönsnivå, avbrutet endast av våldsamma fnissattacker. En tjej löste upp sin hästsvans och slängde sin praktfulla hårman rätt över mittgången så att den, utan att hon märkte det, nuddade smörgåsen som jag med vuxen diskretion satt och mumsade på. Folk omkring började utbyta blickar och smacka ogillande med tungan. Sedan fick en annan av flickorna telefon, och då gav hon plötsligt direktiv i luren på ett oerhört professionellt sätt. Det lät som att det var någon från jobbet som ringde, och betraktade henne som en auktoritet. Efter telefonsamtalet började hon, skrikande och skrattande, skojbrottas med killen som satt bredvid henne. De var med andra ord fyra helt normala ungdomar i fasen mellan pubertet och vuxen. Inte bara det: om vi ska tro evolutionsbiologen Barbara Natterson-Horowitz och vetenskapsjournalisten Kathryn Bowers så var de väldigt lika de flesta djur i samma livsfas. Alltifrån pingviner till knölvalar, apor och människor går igenom denna mognadsperiod, då de framstår som ömsom yviga och våghalsiga, ömsom vuxna och balanserade, och väldigt orienterade mot andra jämnåriga. I sin bok Wildhood: an epic journey from adolescence to adulthood in humans and other animals driver författarna tesen att ungdomstiden är artöverskridande och universell. Adolescensen definierar de som den sociala och mentala mognadsprocess som fortsätter i flera år efter puberteten. Boken dignar av exempel från djurriket, alla baserade på forskningsstudier. Författarnas jämförande infallsvinkel är inspirerad av antropologen Margaret Mead, särskilt hennes klassiker Coming of age in Samoa från 1928. Men Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers tar alltså det komparativa perspektivet vidare, och inkluderar djurens värld. Det är smått revolutionerande, men mot fonden av annan forskning om djurs kommunikation, känsloliv och intellektuella förmågor så är det kanske inte så anmärkningsvärt ändå. De senaste årens populärvetenskapliga litteratur berättar saker som att grisar kan reflektera över sin individuella existens, och att bläckfiskar pratar med varandra genom komplicerade färgsignaler. Så varför skulle deras ungdom inte kunna dela många grundläggande drag med vår? Författarna identifierar fyra centrala färdigheter som ungdomar av alla arter behöver tillskansa sig. De måste hålla sig i säkerhet, kunna navigera i sociala hierarkier, lära sig att uttrycka sin sexualitet och förstå sexuella signaler, och klara av att lämna boet och försörja sig själv. För att träna på allt detta ger de sig ut på äventyr, helst ihop med andra i samma ålder. Och man kan säga att det var just dessa saker som ungdomarna bredvid mig på tåget höll på med. De var tyskar på väg till Danmark ett litet äventyr en bit hemifrån. De reste i grupp, och var därför mycket tryggare än om de hade gett sig iväg var för sig. Om någon hotade dem skulle de till exempel kunna göra som unga laxar: vända sig om i en koordinerad formation och skrämma bort angriparen. Tjejen som fick telefon från jobbet försörjde kanske redan sig själv. Hon framstod också som en oomstridd ledargestalt i gruppen. Det var hon som pratade med tågkonduktören, och det var hon som tog initiativ till kortspel och chokladkexätande. Det var dessutom hon som skojbrottades med gruppens kille och finns det något mer klassiskt beteende bland halvstora däggdjursvalpar än skojbrottning? Min egen hund strålade av lycka när han i ettårsåldern umgicks med en lika muskulös och brottningssugen tik i samma ålder. Så tränar, enligt Wildhood, unga djur inför strid men också konflikthantering. De skapar starka band med varandra när de brottas. Man skulle kunna lägga till att det ibland också kan vara ett sätt att aningen klumpigt signalera sexuellt intresse. En annan sak som unga gör är något som Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers kallar predator inspection, att undersöka rovdjur eller mer generellt faror. När fladdermöss i den här åldern hör ett varningsrop från en vuxen artfrände kan de reagera med att flyga rakt mot faran. De vill se vad det är. Själv tänker jag osökt på hur jag och mina kompisar i början av 80-talet ringde den så kallade Heta linjen. Det var ett primitivt förstadium till sociala medier, där alla som ringde kunde prata samtidigt med varandra i telefon. Givetvis kryllade där av snuskiga gubbar, tyvärr just en typ av fara som flickor i tonåren behöver lära sig att identifiera. Vi inspekterade så att säga rovdjuren tillsammans, på avstånd och i trygg gemenskap. Den här tendensen att söka upp faror oroar vuxenvärlden, åtminstone den mänskliga. De vuxna kungspingviner som skildras i Wildhood tittar däremot inte ens när deras avkomma kastar sig i havet som är fullt av pingvinätande sjöleoparder. Men den mänskliga adolescensen har traditionellt varit kringgärdad av kontrollinstanser. Det kan handla om alltifrån passageriter där ungdomarna möter olika utmaningar under kontrollerade former, till att tvinga väldigt unga flickor in i äktenskap. I samtida, uttalat moderna samhällen är balansgången delikat på ett annat sätt. Det finns en förväntan på ungdomar att de ska vara kreativa och rebelliska, men de får ju å andra sidan helst inte göra revolution eller bli helt depraverade. Minns utbrotten av så kallad moralpanik över dansbanorna, videovåldet, hårdrocken och dataspelen. Plötsligt känner sig vuxenvärlden alltför främmande för ungdomskulturen och drabbas av panik  i regel förgäves. Natterson-Horowitz och Bowers är för sin del mest oroade över internet och sociala medier. Där pågår, menar de, dag och natt en stenhård statuskamp bland unga, som de aldrig får vila ifrån. I djurens värld varierar det mellan arterna hur hierarkisk deras sociala värld är, men alla behöver lära sig hur man navigerar bland rangordningar och statusmarkörer. Den mest fantastiska historien i boken är den om hyenavalpen Shrinks klassresa. Hyenor lever i starkt hierarkiska flockar, och Shrink föddes på botten. Hans mamma var mycket ranglåg, och till råga på allt hade han en dominant tvillingsyster. Faktum var att Shrink låg illa till för att dö av svält. Men när han hamnade i ett slags ungdomslya, där hyenaföräldrar placerar sina valpar när de nått en viss ålder, började han omedelbart ta initiativ till så kallade vänskapspromenader. Att gå på tur ihop är ett viktigt sätt för hyenor att skapa sociala band, och Shrink blev en uppskattad promenadpartner bland sina jämnåriga. Efter ett tag lyckades han dessutom övertala flockens obestridliga ledare, hyenadrottningen kallas hon i boken, om att han också skulle få dia jämte hennes egen valp. Shrink fick nu näringsrik mat och många vänner. Han kom att leva ett bekvämt liv någonstans i mitten av flockens hierarki. Vad ska vi då dra för slutsatser av allt det här? Att social kompetens i vissa lägen kan rädda ens liv. Att bakom ungdomars påfrestande stökighet döljs en avancerad mognadsprocess. Och att snart sagt varje ny forskningsstudie om djurs beteenden och förmågor för dem närmare oss människor.

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, authors of the new book Wildhood (and bestseller Zoobiquity), explain the four needs of every adolescent as they transition to healthy adults. Plus, the surprising biology behind teen risk-taking behavior, particularly in groups!

Sunday, August 30, 2020 - On today’s weekly highlight show, we share our conversation with evolutionary biologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and animal behaviorist Kathryn Bowers wrote the book, WILDHOOD: The Astounding Connections Between Human and Animal Adolescents. ~~~ Eliza Blue talks about the love, and fear, of horses in this month’s “Postcard from the Prairie.”

Tina Payne Bryson: The Power of Showing Up Tina Payne Bryson is a psychotherapist and the Founder/Executive Director of The Center for Connection, a multidisciplinary clinical practice, and of The Play Strong Institute, a center devoted to the study, research, and practice of play therapy through a neurodevelopment lens. Tina is the author with Dan Siegel of two New York Times bestsellers, The Whole-Brain Child* and No Drama Discipline*, each of which has been translated into over forty languages. She’s recently released with Dan their newest book, The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired*. In this conversation, Tina and I explore what it means to show up for kids and why it’s more than just being physically present. We discuss the distinction between being seen vs. being shamed. Plus, practical actions that parents, family members, and other caregivers can take to empower children. Key Points Our research and experience suggest that raising happy, healthy, flourishing kids requires parents to do just one key thing. It’s not about reading all the parenting best sellers or signing your kids up for all the right activities. You don’t even have to know exactly what you’re doing. Just show up. Intensive parenting is problematic not only because of the pressure it puts on parents, but because some research suggests that all this exhausting parental striving may not be the best way to raise children. Showing up is more than just being physically present. Many people don’t have the advantage of relationships. They grew up in families where almost all of the attention was focused on external and surface-level experiences. Let your curiosity lead you to take a deeper dive and make space and time to look and learn. A child’s brain is changing and changeable.

We’re interviewing Julie Lythcott-Haims this week and you won’t want to miss it, because 1) she wrote an amazing, best-selling book called How to Raise an Adult and then followed THAT up with a memoir, Real American, that the New York Times Book Review pretty much thought was amazing and is now drafting the sequel to Adult very much on her own terms; and 2) she could very easily have become Jess’s arch-nemesis, and vice versa.If they had been totally different people.If they had been less open, less willing to see possibility in a scary-sounding situation.If they’d let fear and jealousy win. But they didn’t. So two writers with authority, each releasing a book on raising children to be independent in nearly exactly the same moment turned out to be a recipe for collaboration, not catastrophe. The lesson? In books, it’s really almost never winner-takes-all.We talk about how they pulled it off, how Julie transcended expectations with her memoir and why it’s so important to resist the call to write something that isn’t what you want to write.Episode links and a transcript follow—but first, we’re giving away a set of three LitStarts, little books of writing prompts created by the Writer’s Grotto that Julie talks about during the podcast, to—a subscriber to this weekly shownotes email!

We are truly connected. There are dozens of examples of the power of the human-animal bond. The outstanding authors Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathyrn Bowers have a new book that will change the way we understand the human- animal connection. In their book, the intersectionality of human and animal behavior is analyzed through the prism of adolescence. The premise of the book is both novel and genius: from young hyenas to awkward teenagers, adolescents of all species share many of the same characteristics. EPISODE NOTES: WILDHOOD: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD is a professor of medicine in the UCLA Division of Cardiology, visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and president of the International Society for Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health. On top of this, she's the coauthor, along with Kathryn Bowers, of best-selling book Zoobiquity and their latest, Wildhood: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals. It explores an incredible perspective on their discovery about adolescence across the animal kingdom - outlining four key life skills that all adolescents, including both humans and animals, experience - and the story of how she got to this research is just as interesting as the research itself.

Some adolescents safely, capably and independently enter the adult world while others do not. Turns out that everyone from wolves to humpback whales are also wild as teenagers.  Steve talks with Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, Co-Author of Wildhood:  The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals.

  Coming of age can be a trying time both for those going through it and those trying to help adolescents make the journey into adulthood as safe and satisfying as possible.  In the animal kingdom, it turns out, there are many commonalities among species in that regard.  In the book ‘Wildhood', Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz … Continue reading EP 304 Understanding the Lives of Teens in the Period of Wildhood

In their new book Wildhood: The Epic Journey from Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals, Harvard evolutionary biologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and award-winning science writer Kathryn Bowers examine what the animal kingdom can teach us about childhood and adulthood. Join us for a discussion of Wildhood with Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.

In this show, Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD, visiting professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and Kathryn Bowers, Science Journalist, draw upon their new book, Wildhood: The Epic Journey From Adolescence to Adulthood in Humans and Other Animals, to share their five year study of adolescence across species. What they find is as startling as it is important. Adolescents, be they the teens in our homes, or the animals across the globe, reveal striking similarities in their physical and emotional journey from being juveniles to adults. From bottlenose dolphins to red-tailed hawks to humans, adolescents have more in common with one another than with their mature parents or younger siblings. They are in the “ Wildhood” negotiating four core challenges- Safety, Status, Sexuality and Self-Reliance. The behaviors of a naïve penguin, a charismatic hyena, an adventurous humpback whale, and a restless wolf, will sound strikingly similar to human teens.

At times, are your teenagers moody, defiant and socially awkward–to be honest, do they behave like animals? “Exactly!” assert Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and Kathryn Bowers, co-authors of the acclaimed new book WILDHOOD, the period of life in every animal, including humans, between puberty and mastery of necessary adult life skills. Tune in to discover how knowledge of adolescent behavior … Read more about this episode...

"I got a telephone call that changed my life"Our guest today is Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz. Dr. Natterson-Horowitz was the keynote speaker at the 2019 AVMA Convention. We were so fortunate to record this episode with her the day before her presentation. She was incredibly generous with her time and sharing her story. She is an MD and was focused on cardiology and cardiovascular disease in the first part of her career but in recent years has discovered a new passion which builds upon some of her studies in undergraduate. You will have to listen to this episode to hear all her amazing accomplishments including being the author of two books. She also covers how she wouldn’t be where she is today without the support of her friends and family. She is a HUGE fan of the veterinary profession. We were honored to speak with her and cannot wait to share this journey with you! Remember we want to hear from you!

Why are we so into monsters, zombies, and scary things in general? In this episode, physician and evolutionary biologist Barb Natterson-Horowitz explains why we seek out the frightening and the morbid, and how our fascination with things that can kill us can actually help us survive. Barb also explains why teenagers are likely to save us in the Zombie Apocalypse.

Most doctors never consider that a whale might get breast cancer, or a marmoset might get heart disease, or that common conditions seen in human athletes might also be seen a cheetah, a greyhound or an antelope.  Barbara Natterson Horowitz is first and foremost a doctor but agter 25 years as a cardiology specialist the the UCLA Medical Centre, an unexpected turn of events took her via L.A. Zoo to a New York Times best-selling book, Zoobiquity, a TED talk watched by over 300,000 people and now to Harvard, where she is on a year-long tenure as Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. Barbara is interested in the links between human and veterinary medicine, and how what we know about one species can affect our diagnosis and treatment of others. This knowledge, this says, has radically changed the way she looks at her human patients and thinks about their care. In this interview we discussed: - How Barbara frames the questions she wants answered by comparing the human and animal kingdoms - Her work as a cardiologist and how her new-found experiences as a consultant at the L.A. Zoo shaped the way she viewed and treated her human patients - How it came about that she wrote a best-selling book on the subject - Women in medicine in the USA and the pressures on family life that a busy medical career brings - The future of the Zoobiquity movement and her new book! 

Barbara Natterson-Horowitz (UCLA) explains in this talk why increasing awareness of the occurrence of "diseases of civilization" in humans and in wild animal species offers a path towards a more empathic and more accurate understanding of the nature of health and disease.

In their groundbreaking book Zoobiquity, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers describe how they arrived at a pan-species approach to medicine. Animals do indeed get diseases ranging from brain tumors and heart attacks to anxiety and eating disorders, just like we do—and the authors explore how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species. In her illuminating new book, Animal Madness, Laurel Braitman chronicles her parallel discoveries of what nonhuman animals can teach us about mental illness and recovery. Join us to hear what we can learn from a blind elephant, compulsive parrots, depressed gorillas, and a cow with anger management issues.*Click here to see photos from the program!

Have you ever seen a novel word and despite a lack of training in formal Latin or Greek, you immediately understood its meaning? This is how people often feel when they see the word ‘zoobiquity'. Barbara Natterson Horowitz, M.D., Director of Imaging at the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center coined the term. It is meant to promote the concept that the health of all animals is interconnected. She believes veterinarians and MDs working together, looking at overlapping health issues is needed to insure that all life thrives rather than just survives. I am honored to have as my guest, Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, MD., the author of the new book, Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing. Questions or comments?

UCLA cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and UCLA writing lecturer Kathryn Bowers, authors of Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About the Health and Science of Healing, talk with Los Angeles Times science writer Eryn Brown about what they think is medicine's next frontier: collaboration between human and animal doctors. Animal and human diseases across the spectrum--from eating disorders and psychiatric maladies to certain types of cardiac arrest and cancers--overlap. And by working together and sharing knowledge, doctors and veterinarians might be able to better treat patients of all species. Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers share many of their discoveries, from the possibility that jaguars share the BRCA1 gene mutation that's common in Jewish women, and increases susceptibility to breast cancer, to a chlamydia epidemic in koalas in Australia.
