In this episode of the Compendium, we explore the Acali Experiment—a 1973 voyage where anthropologist Santiago Genovés set sail with ten strangers to study human behavior. Dubbed the "Sex Raft" by the media, his 101-day Atlantic crossing aimed to investigate the roots of violence and sexuality. Despite Genovés's attempts to incite conflict, the crew's resilience challenged his expectations. This journey not only questioned scientific ethics but also inspired discussions on human nature and peace.
We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources:
