Quentin Cooper champions chimp culture, how it has evolved and the view of ourselves in relationship to them. He re-measures dinosaurs in light of new evidence; it seems there are serious problems with the equations that have been used for decades. Also on the programme, Quentin dissects the process of conducting a fair election using a naturally occurring quirk of statistics.
