- **Event Description**: The anatomy of friendshipAbout this EventAbstractFriendships are a primate speciality, and have evolved to buffer us against the stresses of living in large social groups. They have a bigger effect on our psychological health and wellbeing, as well as our physical health and wellbeing, than anything else. Friendships are, however, extremely expensive to create and to maintain, both in terms of their time cost and in terms of their underpinning neurobiology. In this lecture, I’ll explore the behavioural, cognitive and neurobiological bases of friendships, and show how we use these as a basis for forming mega-communities.Agenda16.45: Tea and coffee on arrival17.00: Talk by Professor Robin Dunbar17.45: Q &amp; A session18.00: Drinks receptionAbout Professor Robin DunbarRobin Dunbar MA PhD DSc(Hon) FRAI FBA is Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Oxford, a Fellow of Magdalen College, and an elected Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Anthropological Institute, the Finnish Academy of Science &amp; Letters and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
