We think of estrogen and testosterone as the female and male sex hormones and they may seem kind of gross (is that just Josh?), but that simple understanding is way off. A magical biochemical dance between the two creates everything from bones to moods. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Q&A on Modern Mythology and Holding Yourself to Results (Replay)

My guest today is Robin Dunbar. Robin is a biological anthropologist, evolutionary psychologist, and specialist in primate behavior. He is the man behind Dunbar’s number, a theory about the number of stable relationships we can maintain at once. Robin unravels the thread of research that led him to Dunbar’s number and describes how this plays into every single person’s layers of human connection. It was fascinating to hear how his findings on social circles have implications for optimally structuring businesses and organizations, as well as the idea of homophily, all of which Robin thoughtfully explains. It was a treat to get to explore these topics with Robin Dunbar himself so please enjoy this great conversation.

Key Takeaways  The Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York was the site of the worst environmental disaster involving chemical waste in U.S. history The site was eventually filled in, and years later after selling the land to the City of Niagara for $1, housing developments and a school were built on top of it In just a few years after people started living in the area, some people began developing horrible physical defects, and the rate of birth defects skyrocketed Many residents who moved into the area had no idea that toxic waste was stored below them In 1976, the Niagara Gazette published the first article that explained the origins of the Love Canal neighborhood, explaining the history of the Hooker Company and the toxic waste that was buried beneath the soil It took several years for the issue to be acknowledged; several city-sponsored investigations took place, but the results were not shared with the local populous Grassroot initiatives, led by Lois Gibbs, eventually brought national media attention to the crisis; her efforts led to $50+ million in federal and state funding to mitigate the effects of the disaster A state of emergency was declared, the town was eventually shut down and flattened, and all but two families left Love CanalPeople have since moved back into the area, which is now known as Black Creek; today, some of the people living in the town remain unaware of the history of Love Canal

A man with an unfulfilled vision left a huge gash in the ground near Niagara Falls. Then a chemical company came along and filled it with toxic waste. Then people came along and built homes and an elementary school on top of it. Then things went badly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
