48 | Dr. Burghardt on Human Fear of Snakes and Snake Cognition

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Gordon Burghardt to discuss some
of the most asked questions about snakes.  Dr. Burghardt has
been conducting research at the intersection of psychology and
herpetology since the 1960s.  They start with a discussion
on human fear of snakes - more specifically, if we are born with
this fear, or if it is learned as we develop.  Chris and
Gordon also dive into snake cognition touching on topics such as
chemoreception and self-recognition.
