In de podcast Wat Blijft hoor je aflevering 10 van de 12-delige serie Grote Geesten over indrukwekkende denkers uit de Humanistische Canon. Botte Jellema volgt het spoor terug van Nederlands-Amerikaanse primatoloog Frans de Waal. De Waal was internationaal geprezen, een pionier op het gebied van gedragswetenschappen, baanbrekend onderzoeker en hij had een diepgaand inzicht in het dierenrijk. Time Magazine noemde hem in 2007 een van de meest invloedrijke personen ter wereld; zijn boek ‘Chimpanseepolitiek' stond op de lijst van aanbevolen literatuur van de voormalig voorzitter va het Huis van Afgevaardigden van de VS.     Botte praat met:  -emeritus hoogleraar ethologie en socio-ecologie Jan van Hooff  -jongste broer Steven de Waal  -hoogleraar cognitieve Psychologie aan de Universiteit Leiden en primaatonderzoeker Mariska Kret  En hij bezoekt Burger's Zoo waar Frans de Waal in de jaren 70 en 80 onderzoek deed. 

Richard Dawkins talks to ethologist Frans de Waal about animal behaviour and whether it is truly altruistic.  

Jason guest today is Frans de Waal, a renowned primatologist who explored morality in apes, highlighting his contributions. He then shifts to a Wall Street Journal article about wealthy Americans renting homes instead of buying due to housing market changes. He emphases the financial advantages of renting high-end properties and investing in entry-level homes. He also touches on political risks and the benefits of flexibility in renting. He concludes by criticizing current immigration policies and mortgage approvals for undocumented individuals, stressing the need for political reform. Jason then welcomes Frans as they discuss the differences between chimpanzees and gorillas in terms of emotions, emotions, and gender ideologies. Frans shares his experience working with chimpanzees and their closest relatives, gorillas. They emphasize the importance of accepting that animals have emotions and feelings and that they should be treated like humans. They also explore the similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees, such as social relationships, intellectual differences, and ability to communicate with each other. They also mention that chimpanzees have a sense of humor just like humans do. #Primatology #AnimalBehavior #FransdeWaal #HumanEvolution #GenderIdeologies #Psychology #PrimateResearch #SocialDynamics #EmotionsInAnimals #EvolutionaryPsychology #AnimalEmotions #BehavioralScience #PrimateStudies #Anthropology #HumanAnimalConnection Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 3:20 Millionaires renting instead and the RTV ratio 7:09 Trump to ban mortgages for undocumented migrants 9:08 Kamala and Willie Brown 9:58 Upwards of 5,000 loans to 'undocumented people' 10:31 There is no such things as 'left' or 'right' anymore  Join us! https://www.empoweredinvestor.com/   Frans de Waal interview 12:00 Frans' broad body of work 13:51 The Alpha Male ideal 15:35 Empathy in animals 16:43 Emotions and industrial treatment of animals 18:21 Exhibiting humor in animals 19:14 "Our inner ape"- Abstract thought and why are we who we are 20:48 Different: Gender through the eyes of a primatologist 24:06 Nature versus nurture 27:00 Agenda: gender reassignment and the variability in nature 29:34 Roughhousing and primates' play behavior 31:53 The leadership of males and females 34:34 The age factor 36:06 Violence and the absence of rape 37:35 Bonobo culture 39:04 The Monogamy Debate and hypergamy 42:05 Buy Frans' book https://www.facebook.com/franspublic/   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

Frans de Waal has studied the behavior of primates for five decades. Some of his many important observations center around the evolution of morality and just how much we have in common with the animal kingdom. The idea that animals are always in conflict with one another and competing for resources is “totally wrong,” de Waal says. Other primates, specifically chimpanzees and bonobos, have demonstrated a range of traits and tendencies typically regarded as human, including empathy, friendship, reconciliation, altruism, and even adoption. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FRANS DE WAAL: Frans de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist. He teaches at Emory University and directs the Living Links Center for the Study of Ape and Human Evolution, in Atlanta, Georgia. He is known for his popular books, such as Chimpanzee Politics (1982), Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape (1997) and The Age of Empathy (2009). He has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: People sometimes describe nature as a dog-eat-dog world. Some of the biologists depict nature as a battlefield basically where selfish tendencies tend to prevail. And from morality, the evolution of morality there's very little room. What they mean is that all they see is competition. I win, you lose, winning is better than losing and so on. That's totally wrong. I fought against that sort of characterization of animal society all my life, because just like human society it is built on a lot of friendship and cooperation at the same time. We'd like to deny that connection that exists between us and animals. Certain tendencies, such as a sense of fairness, empathy, caring for others, helping others, following rules, punishing individuals who don't follow the rules, all of these tendencies can be observed in other primates. And they're saying these are the ingredients that we use to build a moral society. The whole spectrum of both very positive behavior and very negative behavior can be seen in other animals. Animals can be heroic and they can be genuinely altruistic and we actively tested in our chimpanzees. We've done an experiment where a chimpanzee can choose between two options. One option rewards only himself, the other option rewards himself plus a partner who sits next to him. And our chimpanzees preferred the latter option. They prefer a task where they can reward the partner at the same time as themselves. The primates are a very cooperative society in general. The reason they live in groups is that on their own they cannot survive. So they have to have companions from whom they get support, with whom they live together, who help them find food, who warn them against predators. And they have long-term friendships in their society just like humans have. There's a lot of studies on how animals do favors for each other. And if you thin... Learn more about your ad choices.

J'avais diffusé cet épisode il y a un peu plus d'un an et j'ai découvert le décès de Frans il y a une semaine (il est décédé en mars d'un cancer de l'estomac). Cela m'a donné envie de réécouter l'épisode et aussi de vous le réoffrir tant il est passionnant. Frans de Waal était un primatologue, c'est-à-dire un Biologiste spécialisé dans l'étude des primates, la revue Time l'avais inscrit en 2007 sur la liste des « 100 personnalités les plus influentes du monde actuel » et la revue Discover parmi les « 47 plus grands esprits de la science » (de tous les temps) en 2011...mais c'était surtout l'un des primatologues le plus connu au monde par son ouverture et ce qu'il a apporté à la compréhension des être humains à travers l'analyse de différentes races de singes mais principalement celles qui nous ressemblent le plus : les chimpanzés et les bonobos (nous partageons 98% de nos gènes avec l'une et l'autre espèce). Je vous préviens tout de suite, son livre, "Différent - le genre vu par un primatologue", (aux éditions des liens qui libèrent) est l'un des ouvrages que j'ai préféré lire sur les dernières années, sans doute le meilleur cette année. Je dirais qu'il permet de remettre l'église au milieu du village quand il s'agit de toutes ces discussions autour du genre sur lesquelles beaucoup de personnes s'étripent sans vraiment savoir de quoi elles parlent par ailleurs. Qu'il s'agisse d'éducation, de sexe, de rapport de genre, de dynamique entre mâles, entre femelles mais aussi intergenre, de l'instinct maternel, de la culture du viol, des mâles alpha, des femelles alpha, de l'homosexualité, de la bisexualité, des transgenres. Entre autre, vous verrez qu'évidemment l'homosexualité et le transgenre ne sont pas des maladies mais sont des choses naturelles dans le sens ou on les retrouve dans la nature et que la bisexualité est la norme chez les bonobos et est très courante chez les chimpanzés. Bref, on parle de milles choses passionnantes qui vont choquer certains, rassurer d'autres et en étonner plus d'un, c'est une certitude. J'ai le grand plaisir de vous offrir cette conversation en français qui ne manquera pas de générer des conversations dans votre couple, dans votre cercle amical voire familial également. J'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir que moi et que cela vous donnera envie de lire son ouvrage.

"Als we diep in de ogen van een chimpansee kijken, kijkt een intelligente, zelfverzekerde persoonlijkheid terug. Als zij dieren zijn, wat zijn wij dan?" - Stine vertelt over dit citaat van primatoloog Frans de Waal.

In today's episode, we meet Dr. Frans de Waal, Emory University and Utrecht University primatologist Dr. Frans de Waal, a trailblazer in the science of animal cognition, and Dr. Michael Levin, distinguished professor of biology at Tufts University and associate faculty member at Harvard's Wyss Institute. Both researchers' work roots them deeply in the curiosity about the wonder of the natural world of animals, organisms, and plants that make up the diverse intelligences of the universe. They've each spent decades asking questions about the minds of a variety of species and furthering the science of cognition.

The esteemed primatologist died in March 2024 at the age of 75. We hear him discussing the origins of morality and how reconciliation is widespread in primates and found in many other animals.

Biologist and primatologist Frans de Waal passed away last month at the age of 75, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking animal research.

Wie was Frans de Waal, en wat maakte zijn kijk op de wereld zo vernieuwend en invloedrijk? Er is geen fundamenteel verschil tussen mensen en andere dieren. Die boodschap verkondigde de onlangs overleden primatoloog Frans de Waal (1948-2024) zijn leven lang. Door zijn werk met mensapen heeft hij de manier waarop we naar dieren kijken voorgoed veranderd. Frans de Waal was een graag geziene gast bij Radboud Reflects, waar hij meerdere keren een lezing voor een uitverkochte Vereeniging gaf. Luister naar psycholoog Roos Vonk en ethicus Marcel Becker en denk verder over wat we van het gedachtegoed van Frans de Waal kunnen leren.

Önceki hafta aramızdan ayrılan primatolog Frans de Waal kimdi? Şempanzelerde duygular ve siyasi ilişkiler konusundaki düşünceleri niçin tartışma yarattı? Primatolojiye getirdiği yenilikler neler? 

It wasn't that long ago that scientists didn't think animals could rival humans in terms of intelligence, emotions, or empathy. But the groundbreaking work of Dr. Frans de Waal helped change all of that. De Waal spent his life studying the lives of animals — especially our closest cousins, chimpanzees and bonobos.The primatologist died last week at the age of 75, and we wanted to remember him by sharing one of our favorite conversations with him on the show. It's from 2019, when he published his book Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us About Ourselves.In it, he tells the story of a female chimp who didn't produce enough milk to feed her young. When de Waal taught her to feed her baby with a bottle instead, she repaid him with what most of us would recognize as gratitude: holding both of his hands, and whimpering sadly if he tried to leave.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this special episode of Clear and Vivid we reflect on Frans' life-long commitment to revealing how much we humans have in common with our primate cousins.

Cabaretier en zanger Wim Sonneveld wordt beschouwd als een van de ‘Grote Drie van het Nederlandse cabaret' van na de Tweede Wereldoorlog, samen met Toon Hermans en Wim Kan. Deze maand is het vijftig jaar geleden dat hij overleed. In hun muzikale voorstelling Het Wim Sonneveld-Complex strijden theatermakers Tim Olivier Somer en Tarik Moree om de beste vertolking van de legende. Kun je anno 2024 nog wel een voorstelling maken over een man die vijftig jaar dood is? En is er ruimte voor nostalgie in tijden van woon-, stikstof-, asiel- en klimaatcrisis? Lara Billie Rense spreekt met theatermakers Somer en Moree over het werk en leven van Wim Sonneveld. Verder in Wat blijft: primatoloog Frans de Waal, muzikant Cola Boyy en kunstenaar Lizan Freijsen. In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: Actrice Linda van Dijck kwam uit een echt acteursnest, haar beide ouders stonden op het toneel en haar stiefvader was Ko van Dijk, beroemd acteur. Zelf viel ze op door zowel haar film- als toneelrollen: Ciske de Rat, Twee vorstinnen en een vorst, Ademloos en op toneel Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Aan haar carriere kwam abrupt een einde toen ze werd getroffen door een herseninfarct en deels verlamd raakte.  Peter Blom volgt haar sppor terug met vriend en collega  Jeroen Krabbe, theatercriticus Hanny Alkema van Trouw en zoon Jamie Trenité. ---- Redactie radio: Laura Iwuchukwu, Nina Ramkisoen, Geerte Verduijn, Jessica Zoghary.

Frans de Waal bracht duizenden uren door met primaten en had een heel bijzondere band met een aantal van hen. Hij liet ons inzien dat we niet alleen afstammen van apen, maar dat we vooral erg op elkaar lijken. Kijken naar primaten geeft ons inzicht in ons eigen gedrag. De wereldberoemde Nederlandse primatoloog werd beroemd met zijn boek Chimpanseepolitiek en deelt met zijn laatste boek Anders een wetenschappelijke kijk op het maatschappelijke debat over gender.

Le Sleepy Girl Mocktail fait fureur sur réseaux sociaux contre les problèmes de sommeil Les brèves du jour Tout sur les escargots Le primatologue Frans de Waal est mort à lʹâge de 75 ans

Primatologist Frans de Waal inadvertently popularized the term ‘alpha male.' Now, he's debunking common stereotypes to explain what an ‘alpha male' really is – empathetic and protective. All social animals establish hierarchies, but being an “alpha male” is not merely about strength or intimidation, according to primatologist Frans de Waal. An alpha male can often be a figure admired for empathy and protectiveness. De Waal criticizes the misconception of the term as synonymous with a bully. He further explores the concept of gender, arguing its flexibility and highlighting the existence of significant individual variability in behavior among primates. De Waal emphasizes empathy as a key factor in social cohesion, suggesting it might hint at morality among primates. Despite our advancements, he believes humans are fundamentally similar to primates emotionally and socially.

M. de Waal is a Dutch/American behavioral biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982), compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books - translated into 20+ languages - have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His latest books are Mama's Last Hug (Norton, 2019) and Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist (Norton, 2022). De Waal is C. H.

World-renowned primatologist Professor Frans de Waal explores the nature of sex and gender among our cousins the apes, and how gender diversity is a common and pervasive potential on nature's masculine-feminine continuum. In the quest to overcome human gender inequality, he suggests that our focus needs to be on the inequality. Featuring Frans B.

Talking points: gender, gender equality, alpha males, alpha females, violence, culture, psychology I've been following Frans' work for a while, and have admired how dedicated he is to his work and to uncovering the complexity of primates. This was such an enjoyable and fascinating conversation! This episode is a compelling look at just how complex and nuanced something like gender can be, from one of THE world's top primatologists. With more and more pressure to outsource your opinions, your arguments, and your beliefs to the fastest talking pundit, it's more important than ever to take a step back, breathe, and check the science. Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982) compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from peacemaking and morality to culture. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books — translated into twenty languages — have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His latest books are The Age of Empathy (2009), and The Bonobo and the Atheist (2013). Two recent edited volumes are The Primate Mind (2012) and Evolved Morality (2014). De Waal is C. H. Candler Professor in the Psychology Department of Emory University and Director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, in Atlanta, Georgia. Since 2013, he is a Distinguished Professor (Universiteitshoogleraar) at Utrecht University. He has been elected to the (US) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences. In 2007, he was selected by Time as one of The Worlds' 100 Most Influential People Today, and in 2011 by Discover as among 47 (all time) Great Minds of Science. Being editor-in-chief of the journal Behaviour, de Waal has stepped in the footsteps of Niko Tinbergen, one of the founders of ethology. His latest research concerns empathy and cooperation, inequity aversion and social cognition in chimpanzees, bonobos, and other species. He and his students have pioneered studies on how behavior is culturally transmitted in the primates, whether elephants recognize themselves in mirrors, how primates react to unequal reward divisions, how well primates spontaneously cooperate, and whether bonobo orphans are as emotionally affected by their trauma as human orphans.

Frans de Waal is a Dutch-American primatologist and the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Primate Behavior in the Department of Psychology at Emory University. He is the author of, among other books, Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex Among Apes and Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist. In this week's conversation, Yascha Mounk and Frans de Waal discuss how primate empathy forms the basis for human morality; the precedent for diversity in human gender and gender roles that exists in non-human primates; and why, despite attempts to separate human behavior from human biology, you can't have one without the other.

Dr. Frans B. M. de Waal is a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. His first book, Chimpanzee Politics (1982) compared the schmoozing and scheming of chimpanzees involved in power struggles with that of human politicians. Ever since, de Waal has drawn parallels between primate and human behavior, from peacemaking and morality to culture. His scientific work has been published in hundreds of technical articles in journals such as Science, Nature, Scientific American, and outlets specialized in animal behavior. His popular books — translated into twenty languages — have made him one of the world's most visible primatologists. His books are The Age of Empathy (2009), and The Bonobo and the Atheist (2013).

The UK has the opportunity to access European science funding. However disagreements over the Northern Ireland protocol are preventing the UK from joining the multi billion pound Horizon Europe project which funds scientific partnerships between European institutions. BBC Science correspondent Pallab Ghosh has been following developments. Spending time in green spaces has been linked to mental and physical health benefits. But just how green is your nearest city centre? New research has ranked urban centres in the UK based on their ‘greenness' and Jake Robinson, from Flinders University in Australia, revealed who came out on top. We hear about initiatives to enhance ‘greenness' including the citizen-science led GroundsWell programme with Elly King, from the University of Liverpool, and living walls with Brenda Parker, at UCL. And from the Royal Society science book prize, we're talking sex and gender with primatologist Frans De Waal whose new book is entitled Different: What Apes Can Teach Us About Gender.

Frans de Waal is a renowned primatologist and ethologist born in the Netherlands in 1948. He is Professor of Primate Behavior in the Department of Psychology at Emory University and Director of the Living Links Center, which is affiliated with the Yerkes National Research Center in Atlanta. He is the author of successful titles such as The Monkey Inside Us, The Age of Empathy and The Bonobo and the Ten Commandments. His research focuses on primate social behavior: conflict resolution, cooperation and rejection of inequality. Frans de Waal is a member of the American Academy of Sciences and the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2007, Time magazine included him in its list of the 100 most influential people on the planet.

A conversa hoje é em inglês, com o primatologista holandês que tem quatro livros traduzidos no Brasil e nos instiga a aprender com os primatas sobre nós mesmos e o mundo que nos circunda.

Frans de Waal est un primatologue, c'est à dire un Biologiste spécialisé dans l'étude des primates. Mais c'est surtout l'un des primatologues le plus connu au monde par son ouverture et ce qu'il a apporté à la compréhension des être humains à travers l'analyse de différentes races de singes mais principalement celles qui nous ressemblent le plus : les chimpanzés et les bonobos (nous partageons 98% de nos gènes avec l'une et l'autre espèce). Je vous préviens tout de suite, son livre, "Différent - le genre vu par un primatologue", est l'un des ouvrages que j'ai préféré lire sur les dernières années, sans doute le meilleur cette année. Je dirais qu'il permet de remettre l'église au milieu du village quand il s'agit de toutes ces discussions autour du genre sur lesquelles beaucoup de personnes s'étripent sans vraiment savoir de quoi elles parlent par ailleurs. Qu'il s'agisse d'éducation, de sexe, de rapport de genre, de dynamique entre males, entre femelles mais aussi inter genre, de l'instinct maternel, de la culture du viol, des males alpha, des femelles alpha, de l'homosexualité, de la bisexualité, des transgenres. Entre autre, vous verrez qu'évidemment l'homosexualité et le transgenre ne sont pas des maladies mais sont des choses naturelles dans le sens ou on les retrouve dans la nature et que la bisexualité est la norme chez les bonobos et est très courante chez les chimpanzés. Bref, on parle de milles choses passionnantes qui vont choquer certains, rassurer d'autres et en étonner plus d'un, c'est une certitude. J'ai le grand plaisir de vous offrir cette conversation en français qui ne manquera pas de générer des conversations dans votre couple, dans votre cercle amical voire familiale également. J'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir que moi et que cela vous donnera envie de lire son ouvrage.

Frans de Waal : Primatologue et éthologue néerlandais.

Frans de Waal is not only my favorite primatologist, he is one of my favorite scientist-communicators. His books on primates, particularly on Bonobos and Chimpanzees—from politics to child-rearing and even culture—reveal a tremendous amount about our closest genetic relatives, and hence about ourselves. His newest book, Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist, tackles a particularly hot topic at the current time, but as is typical of his books, this one is both entertaining, and touching, and packed with data rather than anecdotes. I was very happy to sit down with Frans again to talk broadly about the motivations for his career choice, as well as his many years of experience in the field. While we focused on his new book, our discussion ranged far more broadly over the importance of primatology as a new and useful window on humans. I have had the privilege of sharing numerous stages with Frans, as well as hosting him at a previous Origins symposium, and each time I come away with important new perspectives. This podcast was no exception, and I hope you too will come away from it with a different view of yourself and your relationship to the world around you—which after all, is again one of the purposes of this podcast.Speaking of new perspectives, I describe in the podcast how a video Frans showed me over a decade ago, involving Capuchin monkeys, as I recall, changed my own perspectives on occasions when I experience jealousy or envy, and I think it improved my own behavior, at least a little bit. Once you here him describe it, I wonder, if you then go to youtube and watch it, whether it will do the same for you. Either way, enjoy this entertaining, provocative, and informative discussion with a charming and insightful scientist.

In his latest book, primatologist Frans de Waal asks the question, "What can the world of apes and monkeys teach us about gender, sex and biology?

Gender fluidity is tolerated a lot more among our cousins— chimpanzees and bonobos— than in our species. The famed primatologist Frans de Waal tells Alan what he's found after decades of studying our closest relatives.

On his second visit to the podcast, Frans discusses his latest book, Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist, as well as one of my favorite books, Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, which he co-authored with photographer Frans Lanting.Frans received his Ph.D. in Biology and Zoology from Utrecht University, the Netherlands, in 1977. He completed his postdoctoral study of chimpanzees while associated with Utrecht University, in 1981, and moved the same year to the USA. He is C. H. Candler Professor Emeritus of Primate Behavior at Emory University and the former director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

In Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist (W. W. Norton, 2022), world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal draws on decades of observation and studies of both human and animal behavior to argue that despite the linkage between gender and biological sex, biology does not automatically support the traditional gender roles in human societies. While humans and other primates do share some behavioral differences, biology offers no justification for existing gender inequalities. Using chimpanzees and bonobos to illustrate this point--two ape relatives that are genetically equally close to humans--de Waal challenges widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity, and common assumptions about authority, leadership, cooperation, competition, filial bonds, and sexual behavior. Chimpanzees are male-dominated and violent, while bonobos are female-dominated and peaceful. In both species, political power needs to be distinguished from physical dominance. Power is not limited to the males, and both sexes show true leadership capacities. Different is a fresh and thought-provoking approach to the long-running debate about the balance between nature and nurture, and where sex and gender roles fit in. De Waal peppers his discussion with details from his own life--a Dutch childhood in a family of six boys, his marriage to a French woman with a different orientation toward gender, and decades of academic turf wars over outdated scientific theories that have proven hard to dislodge from public discourse. He discusses sexual orientation, gender identity, and the limitations of the gender binary, exceptions to which are also found in other primates. With humor, clarity, and compassion, Different seeks to broaden the conversation about human gender dynamics by promoting an inclusive model that embraces differences, rather than negating them.

Dr. Frans de Waal is a world-renowned primatologist, most known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates.  Dr. de Waal's first book, "Chimpanzee Politics" is considered one of the most influential works on the topic, and has since authored many other equally important books. He is really one of the great scientists of our time. In this episode, Dr. de Waal discusses his latest book, "Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist" including defining the difference between "sex and "gender", if the toys children play with are socially constructed or biological determined, Donna the transgender chimp, alpha leadership and more! SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/129-frans-de-waal/

What is gender? How different are men and women? Are differences due to biological sex or to culture? How do they compare with what is known about our fellow primates? Do apes also culturally learn their sex roles or is “gender” uniquely human? Shermer and de Waal discuss: sex and gender in humans, primates, and mammals • who you identify as vs. who you're attracted to • binary vs. nonbinary vs. continuum: how fuzzy can human sex categories be for a sexually reproducing species? • gender differences in physical and mental characteristics • why would homosexuality evolve? • chimpanzees and bonobos • what is the “purpose” of orgasms in women, nipples in men? • myths of the demure female • rape in humans and other primates: what is the purpose — sex, power or both? • murder, and human violence: how do men and women differ? • dominance and power • rivalry, friendship, competition and cooperation • maternal and paternal care of the young • same-sex sex • monogamy, polygamy, polyandry, etc. in humans, primates & mammals • grandmother hypothesis • primates & primatologists, humans & anthropologists: bias in science • the future of primates and primatology. Frans de Waal has been named one of TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People. The author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? among many other works, he is the C. H. Candler Professor in Emory University's Psychology Department and director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

Today we welcome Dr. Frans de Waal, a Dutch American biologist and primatologist known for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. He is a professor in Emory University's psychology department and the Director of the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Chimpanzee Politics, The Age of Empathy, The Bonobo and the Atheist, and Mama's Last Hug are among his most popular books that have been translated in over 20 languages. His latest book is called Different: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist.In this episode, I talk to Frans de Waal about sex and gender. As a primatologist, he shares his research findings on the biological differences between male and female primates. Despite obvious distinctions between masculine and feminine behavior, great apes have no trouble accepting non-binary individuals—a behavior we humans need to practice more of. Dr. Frans clears up what alpha male really means and debunks the “natural order” of male supremacy. We also touch on the topics of socialization, power, altruism, reproduction, and equality. Website: www.emory.edu/LIVING_LINKSFacebook: /franspublic Topics03:14 What is a primatologist? 04:18 Biology in the gender debate08:47 Donna: the non-binary chimpanzee13:12 Dominance, power, and prestige17:16 Alpha males and alpha females 20:53 Sex differences in play and aggression24:48 Gender identity and self socialization31:33 The Selfish Gene 35:14 The evolution of the clitoris40:29 The stigma of female sexuality45:38 Extra-pair copulation and paternity testing50:38 Competition, rivalry, and conflict resolution54:57 Maternal instinct and xenophobia among primates59:07 Embodied cognition

Humans are related to all other species here on Earth, but some are closer relatives than others. Primates, a group that includes apes, monkeys, lemurs, and others besides ourselves, are our closest relatives, and they exhibit a wide variety of behaviors that we can easily recognize. Frans de Waal is a leading primatologist and ethologist who has long studied cognition and collective behaviors in chimps, bonobos, and other species. His work has established the presence of politics, morality, and empathy in primates.
