In this interview, Dan Pardi interviews evolutionary biologist, Professor David Samson of Duke University. Dr. Samson talks about his work research the sleep platforms (i.e., beds) or great apes in Africa. We discuss how these platforms appear to have contributed to deeper sleep in certain great apes, and in turn, how this deeper sleep seemingly contributed to greater cognitive abilities than compared to primates with shallower sleep.
