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.

People don't believe in faeries anymore, but maybe we should. This episode is made for kids. Written and performed by Jackie Jorgenson Jackie Jorgenson is a 5x award-winning actor with comedy and classical training. She is also a 3x award-winning screenwriter with a focus on comedy, drama, and fantasy. https://anchor.fm/talesfromtheaether TRANSCRIPT People these days don't believe in me. They say fairies are only for storybooks. But we're here - in the fields, in the forests, by the ponds, and by the cliffs. We're the ones who leave those so-called fairy rings in your backyard - fertile crescents of plush grass. And we're the ones your pet stops to stare at. Just because you can't see me doesn't mean I'm not there. In fact, on a still summer night when you look up at the sky or down at the land, don't be surprised if one of those fireflies has a rainbow trail.

Transcript"People who don’t have access to medical care, people who don’t have access to the healthcare system in general, are going to be much more vulnerable. They are not going to be treated, they are going to get sick, they are more likely to die, and they are also more likely to spread the virus to other people.” -Jeneen InterlandiCo-hosts Dr. Celine Gounder and Ron Klain speak with New York Times journalist and editorial board member, Jeneen Interlandi, a key member of the Times 1619 project, about how issues of race historically, and in the present day, impact access to healthcare in America.They also talk with Greg Asbed, co-founder of the Fair Food Program, and a long-time human rights advocate about how COVID-19 is impacting farmworkers and our food supply—and how we need to look at farmworkers as “essential services.”Listener Q&A: How effective are school closures in preventing the spread of COVID-19?

Summary “People do business with people they like.” Simple truth. And a double-edged sword. Here are two helpful corollary quotes. “People like people who are like themselves.” Tie that to the first quote, and you see that people see themselves belonging to defined affinity groups, and gravitate toward other members of those groups. Now for the third quote, “We are all like each other in many important ways.” All. Of. Us. Give me less than ten minutes, and we’ll unpack this in a way that will be useful to you. (And, yes, I am quoting myself in this podcast.) Transcript “People do business with people they like.” Simple truth. And a double-edged sword. Here are two helpful corollary quotes. “People like people who are like themselves.” Tie that to the first quote, and you see that people see themselves belonging to defined affinity groups, and gravitate toward other members of those groups. Now for the third quote, “We are all like each other in many important ways.” All. Of. Us. Give me less than ten minutes, and we’ll unpack this in a way that will be useful to you. (And, yes, I am quoting myself in this podcast.) Take these three observations, and you have a roadmap for success. Let’s look at each of the three steps: “People do business with people they like.” Be likable because it is true that people do business with people they like. By “business” I mean any kind of transaction, not just cash in exchange for a product or services. Any human transaction or exchange. “People like people who are like themselves.” This is the first clue to how to be likeable--assuming that you already know that being rude or antagonistic are both “being likable” knockouts. So, you might ask, what if it is not obvious that we are alike? Answer, we are all more alike than we are different. Yes, all of us. Take a look at the above drawing; there are two messages here: 1. We have more in common with each other than we have differences and 2. By working together, by using each other’s strengths to makeup for our weaknesses, the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.   “We are all like each other in many important ways.” Look for the common ground with the other person(s), the areas that we are alike. We all share our humanity, and on top of that we all share a gold mine of similarities; shared geography, what we like, what we don’t like, pets and hobbies, ambitions, fears--the list is literally endless. The key to uncovering these similarities, these connections, because that’s what they are, is to ask open ended questions. And keep asking. People do love to talk about themselves. There is a second key here (but Will, I thought you said there was one key), is to actually care about the other person as you are asking questions and looking to discover connections. This podcast is not an exercise in manipulation, this is an exercise in connecting. This “second” key is fundamental to everything in life. The first key that I spoke about is specific to what we are talking about today. Learn these skills, practice them often, and use them to your advantage, and to benefit all those around you. These are tools; use them well. But, Will, what if I don’t like that other person, what do I do then? Let’s look at a Lincoln quote, “I don’t like that man. I must  get to know him better.” -Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States. Stunning. For many of us, if we don’t like someone the impulse is to avoid them whenever possible, and, perhaps, to criticize them we are not around them. The last thing we want to do is connect with them. Not Abe; he seemed to understand that if he got to know the other person better, that he could find things to like--perhaps even admire. Seems like he had his own version of these three steps. Earlier we talked about how this podcast is not an exercise in manipulation. But the powerful skills we are talking about here, like all tools, are in and of themselves value-neutral.

Transcript: People use the words interchangeably, but there is a big difference between the concept of mass and the concept of weight. Mass is the amount of stuff in an object, or the number of atoms, measured in units of kilograms. Weight however is the response of an object to a gravitational field, and it depends on your location in space or in the universe. On the surface of the Earth the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 meters per second per second, and that gives objects their weight on the surface of the Earth. On the surface of the moon for instance, the acceleration is only 1.6 meters per second per second, one-sixth that of on the Earth, so your weight on the moon would be one-sixth of your weight on the Earth. Your mass however would not change because the number of atoms in your body has not changed. If you are in orbit in a spacecraft you would appear to be weightless because in that situation both you and the spacecraft have forces acting on them due to gravity, but they are the same force. There is no difference, and so you are weightless. Once again, the mass in your body would not change. Mass is therefore a universal property depending on the number of atoms or the amount of stuff in an object, whereas the weight of an object depends on the local situation of gravitational force.

Transcript: People make many statements in everyday life. Some statements are quantitative and some are qualitative. You might say, “This piece of music is great,” or, “It was cold outside yesterday.” The first statement cannot be quantified. It may be true for you and not true for one of your friends. It’s a purely qualitative statement. The second statement can be quantified, but we need a system of units. Scientists only deal with quantitative statements. Every statement about science that involves a measurement has two parts. It has a quantity and a unit, and science always deals with these two things coupled together. So when I say, “It was cold yesterday,” I need a system of units and a measurement. And even if I say, “Fifteen degrees,” I have to tell you which measurement system I was using, Celsius or Fahrenheit. If I said, “The Dow fell fifty points yesterday,” that’s a quantitative statement, but you would have to know something about the units; which means you would have to know something about what goes into making a point on the Dow-Jones Industrial Average. So in general scientists always deal with quantitative measurements, and those measurements must have units attached.
