Buttholes may be the key to human evolution. It might sound insane, but the need for animals to evolve relied on us being a "tube" - what makes us a tube? Having a mouth and an anus. It turns out our buttholes are potentially an integral part of our ability to evolve consciousness? What is going on here?

Today we will explain the science of buttholes. We will explain how they work, some fascinating facts and also relate them to your life now - and how they evolved millions of years ago.

Donald Trump's administration is playing out Project 2025 in REAL TIME. It is having horrifying impacts on the science community. He has frozen funding and taken away grants for scientists across America. This is a MUST listen podcast about the state of science in America. If he continues what he is doing, science will implode, medicine will implode, and hospitals will close - causing chaos. That could be his intention, but why?

Today we talk to Dr. Nikki Maphis about what is going on, her personal relationship to this story - as well as her fascinating research into Alzheimer's disease.

Dr. Shelby Riskin is a professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto. Recently she was a part of a mind blowing discovery found in the soil underneath a newly developed Toronto park. Today we are going to talk about what was found, the history of wetlands, how they relate to the Climate Crisis and most importantly - how "Climate Optimism" may be the key to surviving the "Climate Crisis".
