This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. How playfulness runs deep through our ancient primate selves, and how in celebrating it we can achieve creative abundance for others and ourselves.
Isabel was born and raised in Chile, and was educated in animal behaviour and evolutionary anthropology in Cambridge and Oxford. For her PhD work, Isabel studied the social behaviour (and play behaviour in particular) of wild bonobos in DR Congo.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
