We explore his groundbreaking work with baboons in Africa, shedding light on the origins of human behavior and our innate tendencies towards tribalism. Our conversation touches on thought-provoking experiments, the role of hormones in love, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a case study of manipulation and the "us" vs. "them" mentality. We also delve into the alignment of our justice system with our understanding of the human brain and engage in a fascinating discussion on the age-old question of free will. Join us for an illuminating and thought-provoking conversation with one of the greatest minds in the field.
