That Said With Michael ZeldinA Conversation with David W. Blight, Sterling Professor of American History at Yale UniversityFrederick Douglas was the “prose poet of America’s (and perhaps a universal) body politic.

When We Talk About AnimalsEp. 17 – Fabrice Schnoller on free diving with sperm whalesIn 2007, our guest, Fabrice Schnoller, was sailing off the coast of Mauritius when he had an encounter that would change his life and open a new frontier in marine biology. As his boat neared land, huge pillars of steam burst out of the water. When Schnöller jumped in to investigate, he was overwhelmed by a crashing, creaking sound. It was the echolocation clicks of sperm whales, the bearers of the largest brains ever known to have existed on Earth. In addition to helping whales navigate, some evidence suggests that these clicks also function as a language. To investigate t...2019-05-2753 min

New Books in Genocide StudiesBen Kiernan, “Blood and Soil: A World History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur” (Yale UP, 2007)Chimps, our closest relatives, kill each other.

The first is this: chimps are not programmed, so to say, to commit mass slaughter, while humans are so programmed. The second is this: chimps do not make their own history and therefore cannot make the conditions conducive to genocide, while humans do, can, and repeatedly have. In the former case, human genocidal behavior is part of our evolved “nature”; in the latter case, it is a hi...2010-02-1210 min
