Jealousy

Available for over a year

How does our monkey past influence our modern lives and how come we can still get emotionally hijacked by our primitive emotions? Sara Pascoe investigates an emotion that we don't often like to admit to - Jealousy. It's unattractive but in evolutionary terms, it's a survival tactic - it's good to be competitive for resources. But in the modern world, are we just hairless apes comparing ourselves on social media? And what can we do about it? Recorded on location at The Foundling Museum in London. Written by and starring Sara Pascoe. Producer: Alexandra Smith A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2018.
