The Evolution of Irrationality: Insights from Primates.
Thursday, March 6, 2014
Campus Center, Multipurpose Room
The Andrew J. Bernstein '68 Memorial Lecture
Dr. Lori Santo, Associate Professor of Psychology at Yale UniversityThis lecture will explore the evolutionary origins of some species' systematic errors. Specifically, the consideration whether humans share of our more irrational errors with close relatives, the non-human primates. This lecture will tackle the larger issue of whether some human irrationalities stem from evolutionarily-ancient cognitive strategies, ones that are shared broadly across the primate order.
