À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Do animals hold grudges? Can crows really remember someone who wronged them for 17 years? And does time heal all wounds?
In Part 3, Dr Alex George and research scientist Dr Kathryn Bates put common claims about revenge and forgiveness to the test in Myth, Fact and It’s Complicated. They explore revenge-like behaviour across the animal kingdom, including the remarkable ability of crows to recognise and remember human faces. They also ask whether time naturally leads to forgiveness, how rumination can keep old hurt alive and what it really takes to let go. Plus, they end with a quick-fire round on the science of kindness.
No lectures. No easy answers. Just two people trying their best to figure it out.
