Publisher's Summary
Sara Pascoe explores our modern social world though theories of evolutionary psychology and more.
In a brand new stand up show recorded in front of live audiences in museums, Sara asks how our past influences our modern lives, and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions?
Sara says: "I've been obsessing about the ape behaviours visible in our 'civilised' human interactions for nearly as long as I've been plotting to get a Radio 4 series. I'm thrilled that I've been given the opportunity to use the latter to explore the former - I'm off to eat lice out of friends' fur to celebrate."
Critic Reviews
"Always clever and sometimes exquisite." (The Independent)
"Pascoe's lively mind teases out big questions with intelligence, silliness and self-deprecation to make a near-perfect show." (The Guardian)

More please Sara
Sara gets to the heart of things in her own special way. l can't wait to hear more from her. Sara has opened my eyes to a number of issues and l will be encouraging others to listen to her clever, poignant books.

Repackaged Radio Show
I love Sara Pascoe. She's funny, intelligent, insightful and all with the right amount of self deprecation. In fact, I think in the future we should be married. Okay. it's not that kind of love!
I was very keen to hear this earlier work by Sara. and it's very good. but be aware it's short and is a repackaged series of radio episodes. The editing is a bit naff, but the content is fine. Maybe think if you really want to spend a Credit on this with her other work out there on Audible and in the ether.
