Evolution's gift of play, from bonobo apes to humans

Title:: Evolution's gift of play, from bonobo apes to humans
Speaker:: Isabel Behncke
Description:: With never-before-seen video, primatologist Isabel Behncke Izquierdo (a TED Fellow) shows how bonobo ape society learns from constantly playing -- solo, with friends, even as a prelude to sex. Indeed, play appears to be the bonobos' key to problem-solving and avoiding conflict. If it works for our close cousins, why not for us?
