He also teaches as a guest lecturer at the University of Antananarivo, Madagascar. He’s the author or editor of books like Mind the Gap: Tracing the Origins of Human Universals, Animal Behaviour: Evolution and Mechanisms, and The Evolution of Primate Species.In this episode, the conversation revolves around sexual selection in primate species, and human universals and the contributions of primatology to a better understanding of human behavior. Starting with the conditions to lead to the development of sexual dimorphisms, we then move on to talk about intersexual and intrasexual selection; the ecological conditions that favor male and female philopatry, that is, for males or females to stay in their troops of origin; pair-bonding in animals, and the problem with explaining monogamy; how sex ratios influence reproductive strategies; life history, and what it tells us about the evolutionary history of a particular species; primatology and the study of human universals; the relevance of the unique events in Homo sapiens’ evolutionary history; and also the studying of other animal taxa. Time Links:--Follow Dr. Kappeler’s work:Faculty page: http://www.soziobio.uni-goettingen.de/en/kappeler.phpBooks: https://tinyurl.com/yd6vb8zs--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, JUNOS, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, AND HANS FREDRIK SUNDE!I also leave you with the link to a recent montage video I did with the interviews I have released until the end of June 2018:https://youtu.be/efdb18WdZUoAnd check out my playlists on:PSYCHOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/ybalf8kmPHILOSOPHY: https://tinyurl.com/yb6a7d3pANTHROPOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/y8b42r7g
