Dr. Tristram Wyatt is an Evolutionary Biologist and senior research fellow at the University of Oxford. He authored the textbook "Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction". We discuss with Dr. Wyatt the following questions: The significance of pheromones in both animals and humans Do commercially sold human pheromones work? What is Positive Publication Bias and how does that impact science? Is all group animal behaviour in the wild instinctual and preprogrammed? Are the behaviours of wild animals different from that of domesticated pets? Are Dolphins really smarter than humans? How are some animals smarter than humans? Why are humans the only animal species capable of creating a civilization? Differences between human and animal cultures Are humans just another type of animal? Is ocean acidification really happening? What are its effects on marine life?
