麻豆约拍

How does our monkey past influence our modern lives and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions?

Sara Pascoe investigates - Territory.

It's a vital resource and we live on a crowded planet but why do have such a visceral reaction when someone intrudes on our personal space?

From the bigger picture concepts of colonialism and national borders, to how you divide your shared bedroom, to the physical limits of our own bodies, this is a frank, funny look at how our evolutionary history shapes the way we see and move through the world.

Recorded on location at The Freud Museum in London.
