Professor of Biology and Neurology
Robert Sapolsky explicates the mechanisms of kin recognition across species, detailing innate recognition through protein signatures and olfactory cues, and learned recognition via cognitive and sensory processes. The lecture examines the evolutionary implications of relatedness in reproductive strategies and social behaviors.
(April 16, 2010) Robert Sapolsky discusses various methods of innate recognition of relatives between animals and humans through protein signatures, olfactory cellular mechanisms, cognitive, and sensory processes. He explores the importance of relatedness in animal mating/ovulation cycles and other phenomena that show how organisms identify each other.
