On Atheists and Bonobos is an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and primatologist Frans de Waal (1948-2024) at Emory University, who is renowned for his work on the behaviour and social intelligence of primates. This thought-provoking conversation examines fascinating questions such as: Are we born with an innate sense of “the good”? Do we learn from others what is “wrong”?
