Bret and Heather are evolutionary biologists who earned their Ph.D. at the Michigan University and both of them were professors at Evergreen state college until 2017 and then visiting fellows at Princeton University. They now host the dark horse podcast. And in 2021 they published their book A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century.

"We´ve arrived in the 21st century with evolutionary baggage, and a fair bit of intellectual confusion. Let us understand that baggage, in order to reduce confusion, and increase our odds of moving forward with maximal human flourishing."
