We are asking a big question this week: How the heck do migratory birds know where they are going? Tiny robins travel thousands of kilometres over open oceans (with no landmarks), being pushed completely off track, and returning to the same nest every. single. year. On our journey to the answer of how they navigate, we take a quick trip through history and step into the mind of Aristotle.  

Speaking of the non-human world, humans are not that special. We love to try and be special and differentiate ourselves from others – “only I can use tools”, “only I can communicate”, and “only I have emotions”. This week, we break down the assumption that “only humans have culture”. We explore culture in orcas (otherwise known as killer whales or alphas of the ocean) and how their thoughts have entered their bodies.
