Listened to it once and started over immediately---it's that good. Especially compelling after reading Frans De Waal on the biological bases of social behaviors, because it extends that learning to answer de Waal's query about what, if anything, differentiates humans from the other higher vertebrates. The answer may be our capacity (drive?) for shared stories: the myths, fictions, and ideologies that unite us.
