Jo, in terms of what is love when you're looking at monkeys, how would you go, this appears to be what I will define for this piece of research as a loving relationship?

And is that available yet?

I kind of have a feeling that humans have somehow gamed the system because in almost all other creatures, it's the males who are the flamboyantly coloured, you know, sort of the peacock tail or whatever.

And in humans, it is the men who grow the beards and do whatever.

But most of us shave them off, have a haircut and say, put some make-up on, love.

And we've somehow gamed the system and gone, make yourself pretty.

You put the colour on, we're not doing it anymore.

Yeah, which feels like the way it should be, but thank God we've got away from that.

LAUGHTER

too lazy for that.

We have just about run out of time.

Just to give you some insight into the scripts I'm looking through.

Is there any question we haven't asked?

There is one question we haven't asked.

It's right at the end.

In this very sophisticated discussion we've had, if you could be any species of monkey, what would it be?

That is the question that's written here, so I feel duty-bound to ask it.

Which species of monkey would you be, eminent professor?

Let's go Robin, Joe, David.
