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: 00:47 How sexual dimorphism develops? 03:48 Intersexual and intrasexual selection  07:48 Relation between sociality and sexual dimorphism  10:38 Female and male philopatry, and sociality  13:56 What favors pair-bonding in primates?  20:05 The problem with understanding monogamy  22:40 Sex ratios and reproductive strategies  24:23 The importance of life history in primate studies  28:18 Primatology and the studying of human universals  33:28 Humans’ evolutionary history, and differences between humans and other primates 35:25 How do other animal taxa contribute to studying human behavior? -- Follow Dr. Kappeler’s work: Faculty page: http://www.soziobio.uni-goettingen.de/en/kappeler.php Books: 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!
