Nicolas Perony: Puppies! Now that I’ve got your attention, complexity theory (2014x20)

Air date: Jan 30, 2014

Animal behavior isn't complicated, but it is complex. Nicolas Perony studies how individual animals — be they Scottish Terriers, bats or meerkats — follow simple rules that, collectively, create larger patterns of behavior. And how this complexity born of simplicity can help them adapt to new circumstances, as they arise.
