E112: Adam Hart on How Evolution Left Us Unfit For Purpose


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of Life and Lessons, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with Professor Adam Hart. 


Adam is a scientist, broadcaster, and author of the book Unfit for Purpose: When Human Evolution Collides with the Modern World. 


In the next hour, you’re going to learn: 


– How our evolutionary history has left us unprepared for the world we now inhabit 


– How evolution can explain our imagination, fake news, our social media addictions, and just about everything else we experience


– Why war and conflict pose such a difficult question about whether or not we have evolved to be violent 


– Why the potency of fast food, drugs, gambling, and digital devices cause such challenges for us 


And so much more.
