Скачать или смотреть MASTERS OF DECEPTION: FAKERY IN THE NATURAL WORLD

Join Fiona Newell, Professor of Experimental Psychology and Nicola Marples, Professor in Zoology, Trinity College Dublin, for an entertaining talk on deception in the natural world. Together, they will compare and contrast animals and humans in their ability to fake behaviours to meet their goals. Humans are not the only imitators in the animal kingdom, with many animals employing clever tactics to manipulate their audience, find a mate or prey! In nature, we see the use of camouflage, mimicry, and other kinds of trickery simply as part of survival, whereas our sense of fake in human behavior can often elicit a very different response. This talk will explore how keeping it real in the animal kingdom might be overrated and show how faking it can often be highly beneficial to the individual.
