Event Description:

Not So Different: Finding Human Nature in Animals
By Nathan Lents  Tuesday, November 15

In Not So Different, the John Jay Professor of Biology Nathan H. Lents argues that the same evolutionary forces of cooperation and competition have shaped both humans and animals. Identical emotional and instinctual drives govern our actions. By acknowledging this shared programming, the human experience no longer seems unique, but in that loss we gain a fuller appreciation of such phenomena as sibling rivalry and the biological basis of grief, helping us lead more grounded, moral lives among animals, our closest kin.
