Podcasters and evolutionary biology power-couple Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying join me to discuss various topics related to their new book, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century. We explore issues like niche-switching, what Darwin got wrong, Twitter, sources for modern values, hyper-novelty, the aftermath of progress, parenthood, and sexual selection – to name a few.
