Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Send us a text

From monkeys rejecting cucumbers to chimps refusing grapes, discover how animals demonstrate an innate sense of fairness. This episode explores groundbreaking research showing that multiple species, from primates to dogs and fish, display reactions to unfair treatment. Learn how these findings challenge our understanding of morality and suggest that the foundations of fairness may have deeper evolutionary roots than previously thought. Through fascinating experiments and real-world observations, we uncover how animals' sense of justice shapes their social interactions and what this reveals about the origins of human moral behavior.
