Anthropomorphism and dolphins (and other animals)

from The Dolphin Pod · host The Dolphin Pod

Kathleen, Kelly, and Justin discuss how animal behavior scientists deal with the cognitive bias of anthropomorphism; the attribution of human characteristics to non-human animals. But this conversation dives much deeper than that; using Justin's new book Humanish as a jumping off point, the trio discuss AI (and how it might or might not be useful in studying animal communication), Duo the Duolingo owl, doggy eyebrows, scary shark eyes, cute dolphin faces, and so much more! Tune in for this fun and eclectic conversation! More on Humanish: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/justin-gregg/humanish/9780316577588/
