I love this episode where I talked with historian Daniele Bolelli. In it we talked about a huge number of topics including...

• His process of researching and producing History on Fire, one of the leading history podcasts
• How to get rid of weight cutting in mixed martial arts competition
• The evidence for and against an ultra-violent human past vs a peaceful noble savage model of our hunter-gatherer past.
• The rise of MMA in Asia.
• Daniele's proposed 'Gladiators for World Peace' program and how it's going to get him the Nobel Peace Prize
• His return to Italy as a tourist
• Is it too soon to tell whether we're moving towards a more peaceful future?
• Ötzi the iceman, Neanderthal DNA in our genomes, and a mass murder that occurred 430,000 years ago (http://bit.ly/1JYX91M)
• And much more!
