"Promiscuous Men, Chaste Women and Other Gender Myths": The notion that behavioral differences between the sexes are innate and immutable does not hold up under scrutiny.

Title: Learning How to Be a Human Bat

Author: Lore Thaler

Narrator: Jef Holbrook

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-22-17

Publisher: Scientific American

Genres: Science & Technology, Magazine & Radio

Publisher's Summary:

Echolocation is probably most associated with bats and dolphins. These animals emit bursts of sounds and listen to the echoes that bounce back to detect objects in their environment and to perceive properties of the objects (e.g. location, size, material). Bats, for example, can tell the distance of objects with high precision using the time delay between emission and echo, and are able to determine a difference in distance as small as one centimeter. This is needed for them to be able to catch insects in flight.
