Synopsis
Why have whales evolved to have such incredibly large brains? This is a question that has puzzled researchers for a very long time. New research published in the Biological Journal of The Linnean Society has shed some new light on this question and perhaps got us a little closer to the answer. In this podcast we will hear from Matthew McCurry about this research, and dive a little deeper with Hal Whitehead, into some of the more complex behaviours of whales that have contributed to these incredible creatures large brains. Interviewer: Ross Ziegelmeier Produced by: Ross Ziegelmeier Speaker: Prof. Hal Whitehead, Dr Matthew McCurry
