A Plea for Human Natural History

on BBC Radio 3

by Jonathan Miller
Behavioural scientists, Jonathan Miller argues, tend to overlook those aspects of human behaviour which seem mysteriously to defv quantitative analysis, treating them either as unmanageable or else as trivial and belonging in a pending tray somewhat contemptuously labelled ' human natural history.' Trained as a doctor, but working as a man of the theatre. Jonathan Miller urges scientists, especially medical men. to start paying more attention to the nuances of human behaviour.
(A broadcast version of the Marsden Lecture, 1975, delivered at the Royal Free Hospital. London) followed by an interlude
