Why do we care what others think? What keeps us bound together? How does the brain shape our behaviour?
How did the brain evolve from an organ whose primary function was to help us survive in a threatening world, to an organ which influences our thoughts and behaviour and navigates us through an equally unpredictable social landscape? In the third of these special RSA events, Bruce Hood, award-winning psychologist and director of the Cognitive Development Centre at the University of Bristol will give us a clear and comprehensible insight into the complex mysteries of the brain.

Watch as psychologist Steven Pinker is gradually, brilliantly persuaded by philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein that reason is actually the key driver of human moral progress, even if its effect sometimes takes generations to unfold. The dialog was recorded live at TED, and animated, in incredible, often hilarious, detail by Cognitive.
