Frans de Waal Q & A at Freakonomics

May 2, 2008

Primates and PhilosophersFreakonomics is collecting questions for primatologist Frans de Waal —45 questions have already been posted as I’m writing this.

Books by de Waal include Primates and Philosophers: How Morality Evolved (Princeton University Press, 2006) and Our Inner Ape: A Leading Primatologist Explains Why We Are Who We Are (Riverhead, 2005, 2006).

Google Video has a recent video of de Waal and Daniel Batson at the 2007 Autonomy, Singularity, Creativity conference hosted by the National Humanities Center.

[update – here are the answers posted on 5/7 at Freakonomics]
