    Question: Harambe, the gorilla that was shot in 2016 - was he actually protecting the three year old that went down in his enclosure? Some people say he was violently dragged by the gorilla, others say the gorilla was attempting to keep him safe - what was going on there? I feel like I NEED to know so I can die in peace.

    Yes, the dog changes everything... Fighting spider discussion reminds me of the jumping frogs of Calaveras County. I think they still have that contest - not sure. Interesting to consider how people make their decisions. Better think long and hard about that one, America.

    Outstanding! I wish the existing social realities could embrace the fact that they are all made up--products of collective brain consensuses--and use the physical reality of the brain's neurobiological mechanisms for making decisions of governance. But then, that would blow up in our face as well. Individually, I guess our goal remains doing the harder better thing until it is easy, and encourage that process in others.

    please do a discussion of the influence of circumcision on the infant brain. I only saw in Determined a passing mention of Genital Cutting. I am in court in FL (Pro Se), suing a State Attorney for witholding law enforcement services from juvenile male citizens. The matter is easily reviewed by searching YT for 'infant circumcision procedure.' #intactivism PS-you may enjoy The Hidden Trauma by psychologist Ron Goldman, PHd.

    What seems to supervene innate bias to preference morphology of faces is where a cohort as a generation is situated within the modernisation paradigm. So for example baby boomers in contrast to the alpha generation exposure to computational manipulation of the central nervous system.

    My family spent an exciting evening catching Huntsman Spiders with Dr Peter Jager -wonderful man-arachnologist from the University of Düsseldorf. He showed us (ok, my young son; wife and I were just too creeped out) how to catch these big fast predatory spiders by hand! “They can’t really hurt you…much”, he said. Then one particularly large specimen turned and nearly bit him! This exposed Peter’s innate fear, his reaction sending the prize specimen sailing off into the warm Philippine night! 😂

    lo siento pero mi ingles es demasiado malo y me daria mucha vergüenza equivicarme aqui jajajajaj, acabo de descubir el canal,habia visto antes algunas clases de standford pero no me imaginaba que Robert tuviera un canal propio, solo queria agradecer por todo lo que he aprendido gracias a usted, aunque a veces tengo problemas con el concepto de especie y no estoy seguro si realmente puedo considerarme una comunidad biologica a parte a la de mis padres, y digo padres por poner una linea pero el camino puede seguir mucho mucho mucho mas hacia atras, a veces pienso en toda la vida del planeta como un unico ser, amandose, odiandose, comiendose... lo cual nos hace a todos canibales jajajjaja, osea, mas de lo que ya lo consideraba, y perdon, que me extiendo mucho, gracias por compartir tanta información

    Chimpanzee groups are ruled by one dominant male, whereas bonobos are ruled by females. Competitions for dominance and mating rights in bonobos shouldn’t be confused with aggression, says Kaplan. “There’s more pointless violence in chimpanzees and humans than in other species like bonobos,” she says.

That I lose My leg and feel like cutting it off. Its being a disorder to me. I also have a theory that women pulling on dog leashes wrong are source of many animal crimes. Dogs e.g could probably learn to lead cars.
