On the last week of July, 2023, Phil and JF were delighted to speak at Shannon Taggart's Science of Things Spiritual Symposium in Lily Dale, the nerve centre of the Spiritualist movement. As speakers, your hosts were part of an inspiring lineup of scholars, artists, and researchers committed to exploring the borderlands of art, science, religion, and the paranormal. They also had the honour of launching the symposium with a live recording held on the evening of the July 27th. The topic was Frederic W. H. Myers' autobiographical essay, "Fragments of Inner Life," first published in full in 1961, some sixty years after the author's death. Myers was one of the original members of the Society for Psychical Research in England. A poet and classicist, he remained committed to the scientific promise of paranormal investigation until the end of his life. His book Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death, also published posthumously, argues that psychical studies have confirmed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that death is just the beginning. In this talk, JF and Phil discuss Myers' relevance to 21st-century thinking on the Weird.

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

In this episode, we focus on Different. We first ask where behavioral sex differences come from, and how we compare to other great Apes. We discuss self-socialization. We talk about prejudices regarding gender. We tackle assumptions about ancestral human violence, alpha males (and alpha females), females having multiple partners, the male sex drive, the female orgasm, and forced copulation. We talk about aspects of human social organization, like male bonding, female bonding, and nuclear families. We discuss human paternal investment. We talk about potential issues with ignoring and exacerbating behavioral sex differences. Finally, Dr. de Waal gives us a summary of how to think about behavioral sex differences. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

Mama's Last Hug Was die Emotionen der Tiere über uns sagen Hunde, Katzen, Affen, Elefanten, Delphine und Wale haben Gefühle. Tiere sind nicht weniger emotional als Menschen. Tatsächlich wäre es vermessen, menschliche Gefühle als einzigartig herauszustellen. Frans de Waal, weltweit führender Forscher auf diesem Gebiet, schildert anschaulich, wie Tiere – insbesondere Menschenaffen – empfinden, leiden, sich freuen, trauern, sozial, wütend und umgänglich sind. Er zeigt die vielen, nicht nur emotionalen Gemeinsamkeiten von Tier und Mensch auf und erläutert, was wir von den Tieren lernen sollten. Frans de Waal ist einer der bekanntesten Primatologen der Welt, Professor für Psychobiologie an der Emory University und Direktor des Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta. Er wurde durch zahlreiche populärwissenschaftliche Publikationen und Bücher wie Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are?

There was a time (and not so long ago) we thought animals were 'mere machines', incapable of inner life or emotions. Now we know better and are beginning to understand the extraordinarily rich inner life of primates and some other species. In the first episode of this series of Reading Our Times, Nick Spencer talks to the eminent primatologist Frans de Waal about his book 'Mama's Last Hug' which explores the moving and fascinating world of animal emotions and what they tell us about ourselves.

Excerpt: This book titled Mama's last hug, by Frans De Waal, mamas last hug animal emotions and what they tell us about ourselves, and I'm going to read the back of it so you kind of know what it's about here. mamas last hug is a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals beginning with mama chimpanzee matriarch, who formed a deep bond with biologist john Van Hoof. Her story and others like it from dogs, adopting the injuries of their companions to rats, helping fellow rats and distressed elephants revisiting the bones of their loved ones show that humans are not the only species with a capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy. friends do all opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected. And this book has gotten really good reviews. And I love friends the wall, I have read some of his articles and I have watched some of his talks on you know, the internet. I especially really enjoyed his TED talk about the the alpha male, I was struggling to figure out which friends do all book to read first. But I chose Mama's last hug partly because it's one of the newest of his books and partly because the book that the other book that I really wanted to read chimpanzee politics, it wasn't available as an audiobook at the time. So I actually read or I listened to this book as an audiobook. And then the bonobos are very similar, they kind of are on the opposite end of the coin, you know, chimpanzees are a little bit aggressive and territorial, and, you know, they'll fight with each other to settle disputes, whereas the bonobos are a little different, they are friendly, they never, they've never met a stranger, you know, they solve everything with sex, kind of. And so, you know, humans, it's interesting to know, we kind of land somewhere in the middle of all of that. And it's really, really interesting. And we can take some lessons from our primate cousins, which I believe is valuable. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joshua-sigafus/message

Jessica Mayhew, PhD teaches Biological Anthropology as well as Primate Culture & Cognition at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. She got our attention when her comments about how primates play together are related to the way humans play. Not that that in and of itself is a big surprise, but the way we play and the context we play in are – of course – highly influential in how we play.She reminded us about the important role reciprocity has in the animal kingdom, just as it does among humans. She talked about context and environment and she gave us a couple of key examples. She noted how primate communities that value cooperation with their juveniles end up with adults that cooperate. And the opposite is true as well. Highly competitive groups foster more competitive behaviors in their juveniles. Kinda gets you thinking about human communities, right?Jessica inspires us with her interdisciplinary focus and the way she’s always looking for ways to cross into new fields. That’s why we call her a hedgefox: she’s super deep into primatology, but she also likes to dabble in anthropology and other disciplines as well.And, in a related note, she reminded us that none of us are disconnected from the whole – we are all a part of the same ecosystem, and we can take a lesson from that.© 2020 Behavioral Grooves LinksJessica Mayhew, PhD: https://www.cwu.edu/anthropology/jessica-mayhewMia Hamm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_HammScottie Pippen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottie_PippenJane Goodall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_GoodallDian Fossey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_FosseyBirutė Galdikas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birut%C4%97_Galdikas “Clue” Movie on Monkey’s Brains: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/dff98e0a-f5c1-42f9-9124-478c1e070e37“Where the Wild Things Play,” by Erik Vance in The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/parenting/animal-behavior-play-games.htmlFrans de Waal “Mama’s Last Hug”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45894068-mama-s-last-hug“Homo Ludens”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_LudensMichael Boden, Episode 136: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/covid-19-crisis-michael-boden-on-how-field-sales-reps-are-adapting-to-the-crisis/Diversifi: https://www.diversifiglobal.com/Jez Groom/Cowry Consulting: https://www.cowryconsulting.com/Minneapolis Uses Opera to Reduce Crime: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2006/04/06/opera-fights-crime-on-block-eTodd Fonseca, Episode 8: https://behavioralgrooves.com/episode/the-value-of-understanding-microexpressions-for-leaders/ Musical LinksYo-Yo Ma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uiUHvET_jgPablo Casals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhcjeZ3o5usKendrick Lamar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvTRZJ-4EyIPlanet Earth II Soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpgvmHBpatA

We’ve got a little something different for you today­—a new format we’ll be experimenting with over the next few months. You can think of it as a kind of “behind the paper” series. The idea is to take notable articles from the last year or so and talk to their authors. We’ll delve into each paper’s backstory, sketch its broader context, and dig up some of that fun stuff that just doesn’t get mentioned in a formal scientific write-up. We’ll still be doing our longform interviews as well, but we’ll be mixing in shorter ones in this style. For this first installment we’re discussing a paper published in March of this year titled ‘Baboon thanatology’. It describes a truly startling behavior: when an infant baboon dies, it’s mother may carry its corpse around for days, sometimes a week or longer. She might continue to groom it or care for it in other ways. The paper is one of a raft of recent articles on how animals respond to death and dying. This new research area of “comparative thanatology” asks whether animals truly understand this basic bodily process, whether they grieve, whether they get that death is final and irreversible. To talk about this deep stuff, I’m joined in this episode by not one but two of the study’s authors—Dr. Alecia Carter, who is a Lecturer in Evolutionary Anthropology at University College London and Dr. Elise Huchard, a CNRS Research Scientist at the Institute of Evolutionary Sciences, at the University of Montpellier. Hope you enjoy this format. As always, let us know what you think. On to my conversation with Alecia and Elise. Enjoy!   The paper we discuss—by Alecia Carter, Alice Baniel, Guy Cowlishaw, and Elise Huchard—is here. A transcript of this interview is available here.   Notes and links  2:25 – More info about the Tsaobis Baboon Project in Namibia. Dr. Carter and Dr. Huchard co-direct the project with Dr. Guy Cowlishaw. 7:35 – A 2018 special issue on ‘Evolutionary thanatology’ that helped crystallize the field and another one from 2020. 8:40 ­– See the famous 2009 photo of chimpanzees appearing to grieve. It may have helped kick-start the field of comparative thanatology. 26:35 – Dr. Carter is now directing a project—‘Thanatobase’—to collect further records of primate responses to death and dying.   End-of-show recommendations: How Animals Grieve by Barbara King Comparative Thanatology by James R.

How does it feel when you know, its the last time you'll hug someone you never want to say goodbye to ! Lag ja gale is the hindi word for "just hug" . The song clearly describe the feelings of forced goodbyes.

When was the last time you hugged someone that did not live with you? NASCAR has banned confederate flags from all events. A listener said her boyfriend proposed to her but said she had to stop doing THIS before he would marry her. If someone gave you $1000 to spend on local small business, how would you spend it? Plus, Dirty Minds, Pete Davidson, world's biggest mouth, Joe Exotic, and more!

Frans de Waal spent four decades at the forefront of animal research looking at primate intelligence and now, their emotions. In his new book, “Mama’s Last Hug” he explores the rich emotional lives of animals.

Kurt and Tim like to read about behavioral science and a variety of related fields. To help those interested in the subject, but unsure how to pick good books to either get started or advance their learning, our 2019 Top 10 Reading List should help.

"All things feel," Pythagoas said. Panpsychism, the belief that consciousnes is a property of all things and not limited to the human brain, is back in vogue -- with good reason. The problem of how inert matter could give rise to subjectivity and feeling has proved insoluble under the dominant assumptions of a hard materialism. Recently, the American filmmaker Errol Morris presented his own brand of panpsychism in a long-form essay entitled, "The Pianist and the Lobster," published in the New York Times. The essay opens with an episode from the life of Sviatoslav Richter, namely a time where the famous Russian pianist couldn't perform without a plastic lobster waiting for him in the wings. In Morris's piece, the curious anecdote sounds the first note of what turns out to be a polyphony of thoughts and ideas on consciousness, agency, Nerval's image of the the "Hidden God," and the deep weirdness of music. Phil and JF use Morris's essay to create a polyphony of their own.

The viral video of the chimpanzee Mama embracing her friend—biologist Jan van Hooff—one final time before her death touched the hearts of millions. Renowned biologist Frans de Waal captured the essence of that story in Mama’s Last Hug, asserting that humans are not the only species with the capacity for love, hate, fear, shame, guilt, joy, disgust, and empathy. De Waal made his way to Town Hall’s stage for a fascinating exploration of the rich emotional lives of animals. He offered the radical proposal that emotions are like organs: we don’t have a single organ that other animals don’t have, and the same is true for our emotions. He discussed facial expressions, the emotions behind human politics, the illusion of free will, animal sentience, and—of course—Mama’s life and death. Join de Waal for a story that opens our hearts and minds to the many ways in which humans and other animals are connected, and a shared message of continuity between us and other species. Frans de Waal has spent four decades at the forefront of animal research. He has been named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, and he is 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. Recorded live at Seattle First Baptist Church by Town Hall Seattle on March 19, 2019. 

Esteemed primatologist Frans de Waal is the author of The Bonobo and the Atheist, a ''tour de force'' (Nature) exploration of the biological roots of human morality found in primate social emotions, including empathy, reciprocity, and fairness. One of Time's 100 Most Influential People, de Waal is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, directs the Living Links at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and is the C. H. Candler Professor in Emory University's psychology department. Positing that humans are not the only species capable of love, hate, and everything in between, Mama's Last Hug explores the profound emotional lives of animals. (recorded 3/14/2019)

Sometimes we only get one chance to be the love of Christ in someone's life before they're gone, and to love people for who they are without any expectations. If we truly understand we have the Hope of the world living inside of us, we have to love people enough to tell them about Him everywhere we go.
