- “Humans are NOT designed to be happy, productive, or confident” - the science of human nature
Episode 58
Humans evolved to be very interesting creatures, but, because for the past 100 000 years we’ve been the only human species, we sometimes overstate our abilities and superiority over other animals. In this episode, we break down evolutionary psychology and anthropology to answer the questions: Why are we so lazy? Why aren’t we happy? Why are we so anxious? Why do we love to gossip? And why are we so filled with so much prejudice?

Music is a fundamental attribute of the human species. All cultures, from the most primitive to the most advanced, make music.

Maybe your head and shoulders begin to bob. Pretty soon, you might be on your feet, busting a move, joyously belting out the lyrics. So why is that?
