The evolution of Shame with James Trevor Jackson - a podcast by Bunch of Apes Podcast

In this episode I chatted to James Trevor Jackson, lecturer at the university of technology and applied sciences in Salalah, in Oman. After rather ludicrously getting his name wrong.....not a great start for any podcast host.....and Trevor taking it very well....I had to know more about living and working in Oman.

Trevor has lectrued in 7 countries across the world and is currently working on a book entitled 'Shame and Shaming in the Twenty-First Century,' of which the first two chapters are focused on the evolution of shame, with an eye towards how the adaptive trait of feeling shame, as well as shaming others, impacts us today.

Trevor discussed his work with me and spoke in fantastic details and depth about the subject of shame related to human evolution. Drawing comparisons with primates and looking at exceptions, looking back into early hominins and the development of human social structures and how shame facilitated some of these developments.

It was a really interesting and thought provoking conversation for me and I hope Trevor will come back again to talk more on the subject. To find out more about his work in this area head to
