These days, it’s not just IQ that people measure when they talk about intelligence. Social intelligence is a big field of research. How we interact can be about building success as individuals, cooperating to achieve an outcome for your group or tribe, but what about at the microscopic level? Samira Ahmed discusses these issues with bio-physicist, professor Eshel Ben-Jacob, writer Romesh Gunesekera, and professor of social interaction Elizabeth Stokoe. Photo credit: BBC/ Corbis
