Playing Un-happy Families

“Life calls the tune, we dance,” wrote Nobel-winning novelist and animal rights advocate John Galsworthy. The question is what is life; is it our genetic coding? In this episode an entomologist walks us through the evolutionary game as it impacts relationships between mothers and children, fathers and mothers, as well as between siblings. And in the process illuminates questions posed in William Styron’s “Sophie’s Choice” and Titanic.
