Get ready to be intrigued as we journey through the fascinating world of gut bacteria and its profound impact on health, cats and their stress-induced behaviors, artificial intelligence's influence on human evolution and more. We've got a real treat for you as our expert guest, JJ Jerome, unveils mind-blowing insights from his new book 'Evolution Ended'.

Pouring over a captivating study, we unlock the potential of human microbiome in tackling insulin resistance and type two diabetes. The mystery behind stress-induced behaviors in cats that often get confused with illness also gets debunked. Subsequently, we explore the deep bond between humans and dogs, and how their distinct brain structures have influenced our evolution and interactions. The conversation takes a thrilling turn as we dissect the revolutionary impact of technology on society and the exciting rise of artificial intelligence and generative AI.

Finally, we glance into the future, contemplating the transformative potential of AI. We discuss how AI might revolutionize our perception of evolution, and potentially be harnessed for constructive purposes like creating virtual realities for loved ones. But amidst this optimism, we also acknowledge the potential for disaster and the need for regulations. JJ Jerome gives us a peek into his new book and emphasizes the importance of education in this new era.
