Dr Brian Hare is a scientist and the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Dogs. He received his PhD from Harvard University and is now a Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University. Brian founded the Hominoid Psychology Research Group while at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and subsequently founded the Duke Canine Cognition Center. His publications on dog cognition are among the most heavily cited papers on dog behaviour and intelligence. In this podcast, Brian talks about his new book, Survival of the Friendliest, which masterfully applies research on the psychology of dogs, chimps and bonobos to our understanding of human benevolence and cruelty. He explains why identifying with a group can result in hostility to others, and why species that find a way to cooperate tend to dominate. He also offers innovative solutions for reducing divisiveness and increasing cooperative behaviour in our contemporary society.  Here’s the outline of this interview with Brian Hare: [00:00:16] Book: The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think, by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods.

Kristen Hawkes, PhD is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Utah, where she has taught in the Department of Anthropology for over four decades. She is also a collaborative scientist with the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and has authored over 120 scientific publications. She lectures internationally on our grandmothering life history and menopause as a uniquely human evolutionary advantage. On this podcast, Dr. Hawkes discusses the grandmother hypothesis and the environment that likely propelled human evolution. When savanna youngsters couldn’t yet manage to feed themselves, grandmothers were there to help forage,  supporting dependent grandchildren as their own fertility was ending. In the meantime, still-fertile females could invest less in each offspring and have more babies sooner. More robust older females could subsidize more descendants, favouring mutations that enhanced postmenopausal longevity. The research of Dr. Hawkes and her colleagues can help us better understand the critical role of intergenerational support, and how modern individualism has caused us to veer off track.

Brian Hare, professor of evolutionary anthropology and member of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at Duke University, is interested in what dogs can do cognitively that humans and other primates cannot do. Are humans really the most intelligent species? Hare compares psychology within primates as well as between primates and nonprimates through the Hominoid Psychology Research Group and the citizen science project that he launched, Dognition. You can find out how your dog's breed compares in intelligence measures with other dog breeds, based on Hare's research, by visiting Dognition's new data visualizations.

So you think you might have the smartest dog on the planet well, that might just be true! You can find out by visiting www.dognition.com Have you ever wondered if your dog feels guilt? Why does he do the things he does? Dogs are smarter than you think and Brian shows you that in his new book. Can a dog make inferences?(an inference is coming to a logical conclusion, anticipating what's coming next) Why don't dogs like some people from the get go? What about Fido, does he have a language of his own, through the sounds he makes vocally? Brian's book The Genius Of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think is a wonderful read for anyone who wants to understand the mind of their furry friend a little bit better. We're not talking brain studies here, where animals are harmed or hurt in any way. This is more about how the brain of a dog works. Past testing has shown that people have a tendency to look at the left side of a person's face first when looking at them. It's unconscious, but it happens. Experiments have shown that dogs do the same thing. The left side of the face, when looking at a person apparently shows more about where a person's emotions are at at the time. Who would have thought that? In past days we may have thought we, the human species, were closest in behavior to the chimp. But after reading Brian's book I think dogs are right up there. (I've always thought that but now there is proof) Get Brian's book The Genius Of Dogs at your local bookstore and online at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/The-Genius-Dogs-Smarter-Think/dp/0525953191 Test your own pooch at: www.dognition.com Reach out to Brian Hare at: www.BrianHare.net
