With Halloween nearly upon us, we take a look at our fears and the natural world. In this 2 part series, “Small Fears and Consciousness”, we are joined, in part one, by Dr. Jeffrey A. Lockwood. He is the author of The Infested Mind: Why Humans Fear, Loathe, and Love Insects. In this interview he explores, in great depths, as to why it is that we fear these tiny creatures so much. If Dr. Lockwood’s closing comment, regarding the consciousness of insects, is one that sparks your imagination be sure to listen to Part 2.
