In our society, we think of human beings being, primarily, the product of our upbringing, experience and environment, but if we know other advanced animals have a deep nature, and  we evolved as a species of animal, it seems inescapable that our species must  have a deep nature too.  

This episode will consider what our deep nature might be by contrasting it to that of other closely related species. It also considers whether aspects of human behaviour like patriotism could be part of our deep nature and why it evolved as it did. 

Incidentally this investigation throws up the intriguing thought that human beings  have two sex drives.
