I will add a comment when the slide is replaced with a newer version.

Social business and anthropolgy
1. Social Business Lessons from Anthropology “Dolphins have a massive new brain area, the paralimbic lobe, that we do not possess. The paralimbiclobe is an outgrowth of the cingulategyrus, which is known to elaborate social communication and social emotions in all other mammals.
