#19 Alex Gillespie on Language, Intelligence and Consciousness

This week we decided to step aside from the usual digital health related conversations and dwell upon some of the bigger questions in life : What is consciousness? How is it that we share 99% of our DNA with Chimpanzees yet the human ability to communicate and cooperate is so unique?

Our guest this week is Dr. Alex Gillespie - Assistant Professor in the department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics. He has been studying human communication from a social psychological perspective throughout his academic career and has written several books on the topic.
