Description

A scientist at the University of Cambridge has attempted to measure how monogamous humans really are and how we compare with the rest of the animal kingdom. The research suggests Humans are not complete angels but we do sit near the top of the league table of lifelong devotion.  

All to discuss with Brendan Kelly, Professor of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin and author of 'The Science of Happiness'.
