Episode synopsis
The most publicised work in understanding human social behaviour in recent years has been the 'naked ape' approach which attempts to explain our dealings with each other in terms of how animals behave in groups. Rom Harré, Fellow of Linacre College, Oxford, takes a different view and stresses the more distinctively human aspects of our social lives.
