Interview for BBC Radio 5Live

Great chat with Geoff Lloyd on the Sarah Brett show, where we reach the conclusion that humans are good! How we evolved to co-operate, kindness in other species, and who we’re likely to stop and help.

Discussing Philpot et al.’s 2019 paper that counters a history of research on the bystander effect - using CCTV footage from Amsterdam, Cape Town, and Lancaster they found that in 90% of incidents, at least one member of public is likely to step in and help in some form.
