Bill von Hippel (@billvonhippel) is a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland and the author of The Social Leap: The New Evolutionary Science of Who We Are, Where We Come From, and What Makes Us Happy.
What We Discuss with Bill von Hippel:
What our eyes tell us about how humans evolved to cooperate with one another.
How a psychological phenomenon called the theory of mind makes us aware that mental states of others don't match our own, and why this trait gives human beings a unique advantage in the animal kingdom.
Why hunter-gatherer societies are more egalitarian than what we see...
