None of it was your imagination. All of it is on record.\nDr. Christine Webb is a Harvard-trained primatologist and Assistant Professor at New York University, where she is part of the Animal Studies program. Her book is The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters.\n\"He put his hand between my hiking boots, he looked up at me, and he bared his teeth into this very awkward, forced grimace.\"\nIn this conversation we cover why aggression is rarely about the thing it appears to be about, what reconciliation actually restores, and the critical difference between an apology and a submission display. Dr. Webb also walks through the Sapolsky study in which a troop's most aggressive males died off and the group's culture changed permanently, a change that outlasted every animal who had lived through it.\nIf you have ever been told you were reading too much into it, this episode is a record of researchers reading exactly that much into it, on purpose, with notebooks.\nRESOURCES\nChristine's book: https://amzn.to/4wxU4Bk\nChristine's website: https://www.cewebb.com/\nChristine's papers: https://www.cewebb.com/papers\nSapolsky & Share, \"A Pacific Culture among Wild Baboons\" (PLoS Biology, 2004):\nhttps://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0020106\nBrad's microphone: https://amzn.to/4jVOjqq\nWATCH NEXT\nRobert Greene on The Laws of Human Nature: https://youtu.be/64MsV-FECsY\n🔔 SUBSCRIBE to help get more guests on the show: https://goo.gl/uEAeNp\n#CoerciveControl #NarcissisticAbuse #primatology \n00:00 In This Episode\n00:56 Introducing Dr. Christine Webb\n01:22 What Aggression Actually Does in a Group\n04:58 The Mobbing: When the Group Turns on You\n08:08 The Apology That Broke the Rules\n10:47 Are Apologies Ever Sincere?\n11:51...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LwS-rxgRJgsV_zmNrspVoEiUnK0DFgimWiDVS6K0GGE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYjZm/MmQ1NzVjMzQ0MGVl/YmFiNjczYWNhYzIw/MDUxYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
