On this week's To the Best of Our Knowledge (TTBOOK), the topic is the beast within us all - beginning with M.E. Thomas on being a sociopath and ending with Patricia Churchland on whether we are genetically predisposed to genocide. There are four segments in all - you can listen to each one individually.
