Mongooses and the Magic of Trust
Becky Ripley and Emily Knight find out who to trust, who not to trust, and how to make friends, with the help of a mob of mongooses.
As our global society becomes ever more mobile, with people migrating across borders and making new homes among strangers, how do we figure out how to fit in? Trust is the glue that holds society together, but trust - as we all know - must be earned. Becky Ripley and Emily Knight take a trip to the African savanna, to see what a mob of dwarf mongooses can teach us about migration, integration, and making friends across cultural divides.
Featuring behavioural biologist professor Andy Radford, and political scientist Marc Hooghe.
