Laurie Santos cerca le radici dell'irrazionalità umana osservando come le scimmie Cebus Apella, nostre "parenti evolutivi" formulano le proprie decisioni. E in questo talk ci mostra, attraverso una serie di ingegnosi esperimenti, come uomini e scimmie siano inclini alle stesse scelte irrazionali.

Laurie Santos studies primate psychology and monkeynomics -- testing problems in human psychology on primates, who (not so surprisingly) have many of the same predictable irrationalities we do. Full bio »
