CBC Radio’s wonderful Ideas program recently featured Anne Innis in a one-hour documentary on her early field work in Africa. I’ve previously reviewed Innis’s book Love of Shopping is Not a Gene, a skeptical, smart feminist biologist’s take on evolutionary psychology. The Ideas show focuses on Innis’s work with giraffes (including the first-ever account of homosexual behavior in the wild) and illuminates her sharp-eyed, scientific observations. She was the first biologist to study living giraffes in the wild, and her story is a remarkable account of sexuality, gender, race and Apartheid.
