Heather Heying & Bret Weinstein: A Hunter Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century. Frogs, Family, Freedom (#186)

Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are evolutionary biologists. They
both earned PhDs in Biology from the University of Michigan, where
their research on evolution and adaptation earned awards. They've
been visiting fellows at Princeton University, before that were
professors at the Ever­green State College for fifteen years.
Heather researched the evolution of social systems across a range
of organisms, including humans, and my 2002 book, Antipode, is
based on experiences in Madagascar studying the sex lives of poison
frogs. In 2002, Bret published The Reserve-Capacity Hypothesis,
which proposed that the telomeric differences between humans and
laboratory mice have led scientists to underestimate the risks new
drugs pose to humans in the form of heart disease, liver
dysfunction, & related organ failure. They resigned from
Evergreen in the wake of 2017 campus riots that focused in part on
their opposition to a day of racial segregation and other college
"equity" proposals. They cohost weekly livestreams of the DarkHorse
podcast. Their new book, A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st
Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to
live a better, wiser life. It is a provocative exploration of the
tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes--and
what we can do about it. For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying
and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the
accelerat­ing rate of change in the modern world has outstripped
the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. In this book,
Heying & Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in
college classrooms & explor­ing Earth's most biodiverse
ecosystems to confront today's pressing social ills.
