[@graveyardghost2603]

Fascinating! More people need to watch this.

[@fionamortimore1704]

What a fantastic talk! 101 of evolution with a really interesting explanation of human prejudice. I so envy you working with the amazing banobos.

I just want to say firstly, great talk thank you to Vanessa. I was brought here from reviewing 'The human condition'. Anyway, just with respect to tolerance, i think technology can go a long way to supporting this development, a really obvious mechanism is Universal translator, language barriers broken. Ive been seeing great progress with AR glasses that translate voice to text back to speech again (with ai, even back in the same voice as being transcribed, probably another few years for that but seems obvious next step). I think technology will be playing a much bigger role in human co operative development, seeing the benefits of synergy with other humans, but also the environment in general, corporations damage the earth without a face, we need need a pack of 5 bonobo friends to attack out of line corporations, autonomously, potentially ai can offer procedural analysis of routine corporate daily, hourly, decision making processes that ultimately effect the environment down the line (a unified interactivity map - think time dilation, very fast globally connected thought processes that unite corporate co operation with an alignment with sustainable development best practice), we need to find the path to global, democratic, technology based altruism, FAST,

Great presentation. I really liked the book

[@barbarabinder352]

I really liked your presentation, specially your humor! I am left with a question which didn't get answered by your talk. What is the proof that social intelligence and technological growth go hand in hand? Shouldn't then Bonobos be the most technological advanced species? Could you elaborate on the relation of the two. Thank you!

It is called taming ( more equal than domesticating ). Please read the Little Prince by Antoine Saint 'Exupery who describes these transforming encounters. So did we transform more friendly Neanderthals ? leading to knowledge and conquest like with other domesticated animals in homes or zoos ?!

[@bobh28630]

Extraordinary presentation.

[@YevhenFilyak]

As a PhD in biology I can say that I love this presentation. it is great presentation... with so many speculations and gaps in this hypothesis. )) Good idea behind but needs "slightly" more structured and experimental proofs instead of emotional stories ))) . Lets separate three things. 1. how novel and interesting is idea behind 2. how proven this idea is 3. how well the lecturer can "sell it" after it is proven. Unfortunately I see only #1 and #3 with strong gap in #2. Hope to see continuation in #2

Hey friend, I think that you do not have to subject TEDx talk to that scrutiny. Her husband (Brian Hare) who's professor in Duke works along with her on these exact topics and you can find some of his written research material online. Additionally, and as much as TED talk would permit she mentions the experimental support of the idea (#1 in your comment) by domestication of the foxes. hear me out, i'm there with you and I love this vision they (her and Brian) present, but I don't subject this specific talk to peer-reviewed scrutiny, for that they work in academia.

[@Collin_Calling]

Please, can you, and will you also breed foxes? Well, until then, to question the validity of the research is erroneous. It IS proven until YOU disprove it. Facts are facts until they are not. That’s how research works.

[@jrgranados6769]

Great Subject

[@swapnilwagh186]

what a presentation!!

[@9graff9]

She's beautiful 😊

[@doglabdogtraining-gus.8873]

Amazing

[@Collin_Calling]

If I won a sweepstakes for a free 1000 dollars I would spend most of it for presents for my friends and family. The real question is friends or family first? I would lean towards my Nephews and Niece. Less my Niece because: she is already a CoMimi. (strong girl, soon to be a teen). I want to listen to this presenter more, any suggestions?

[@walther7147]

Is it really friendly to kill someone because he is strong and confident? How friendly are these killers? Are ' nt they cowards and intriguers? I have my doubts.

[@enlightenedsipper]

It helps keep the peace and so to not give offspring to more aggressive males

[@dallasburns7806]

Yes, all those friendly crocodiles have really proven that smiles buy evolutionary miles. 🙄

[@tokraful]

Be more bonobo.
