Birds Do It, Bees Do It: The Wild World of Love in the Animal Kingdom with Nathan Lents


Listen Later

This week, I have an odd and wonderful chat with Nathan Lents, a college professor and author of The Sexual Evolution. We dive into the fascinating world of animal sexuality and how it mirrors—or diverges from—human behavior. From the surprising prevalence of homosexuality in nature to the social dynamics of monogamy and polygamy in the animal kingdom, Nathan shares some truly eye-opening insights. We even touch on how animals "flirt" and why some species, like bonobos, prefer making love over war. Whether it’s birds, wolves, or monkeys, Nathan’s expertise made for a conversation that was equal parts educational and entertaining. If you’ve ever wondered how close humans really are to the rest of the animal kingdom when it comes to sex and relationships, this episode is for you. Tune in for a wild ride through the sexual evolution of life on Earth!
