Grunts, Grooming, and Goodbye: Joan Silk on the Science of Friendship
Evolutionary anthropologist and primate behavioral ecologist, Joan Silk, joins me to explore what baboon social lives reveal about “true” friendship. Drawing on decades of long‑term fieldwork, we connect grooming, grunts, and early adversity in baboons to our own experiences of exclusion, closeness, and the moment a relationship moves beyond simple reciprocity.

Romantic Love and Friendship with Robin Dunbar
We’re told that romantic love is the most important relationship in our lives. But is this true? In this episode of Wild Connection, I sit down with evolutionary anthropologist Robin Dunbar, Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Oxford, to explore what science actually says about love and friendship. Dunbar’s research on the social brain suggests that our well-being is shaped not by just one soulmate, but by a small inner circle of close relationships. We also unpack why friendships, and therefore love relationships, are so sensitive to time and attention.
