This episode was recorded on October 5th, 2021. Podcasters and evolutionary biology powercouple Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying join me to discuss a variety of topics related to their new book, A HunterGatherers Guide to the 21st Century. We explore topics like nicheswitching, what Darwin got wrong, Twitter, sources for modern values, hypernovelty, the aftermath of progress, parenthood, and sexual selection just to name a few. Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are evolutionary biologists, former Evergreen State College professors, and the current hosts of the DarkHorse podcast. You may also know Bret through Joe Rogan, or as the twicemoderator for Jordans debates with Sam Harris. The couples book, titled A HunterGatherers Guide to the 21st Century: Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life, asks why the most prosperous age in history has scarcely offset suicide rates, tribal division, loneliness, and human misery.
