In the Anthropocene, a question has become increasingly urgent: What does it mean to be human? Set against the backdrop of southern Chile's conservation frontier, Alterhumanism: Becoming Human on a Conservation Frontier (University of Arizona Press, 2025) invites us to recognize the centrality of the human condition in the face of an increasingly uncertain world and imagine future forms of coexistence. Reflecting on more than a decade of ethnographic fieldwork with smallholding settlers, Indigenous Mapuche farmers, environmental activists, entrepreneurs, and conservation scientists, Piergiorgio Di Giminiani brings to light how these diverse groups navigate the enduring impacts of settler-caused environmental depletion and their aspirations for new ethics of care. Di Giminiani challenges traditional Western humanism, proposing a more relational and open-ended understanding of humanity shaped by interactions with nonhuman others. Rather than seeking fixed answers, the book explores the fluid and multifaceted nature of becoming human through the lens of conservation politics. By highlighting the entangled, multispecies worlds of southern Chile, Di Giminiani offers a novel approach to understanding the political project of becoming human in the Anthropocene. Piergiorgio Di Giminiani is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. His research focuses on land, indigeneity, conservation, agriculture, and statecraft, with ethnographic fieldwork experience in both Chile and Italy. He is the author of Sentient Lands: Indigeneity, Property, and Political Imagination in Neoliberal Chile (2018) and Alterhumanism (2025). He has also co-edited several volumes, including The Futures of Reparations in Latin America: Imagination, Translation, and Belonging (2026), with Hélène Risør and Karine Vanthuyne, which was featured on the New Books Network; Theorizing Relations in Indigenous South America (2022), with Marcelo González and Giovanna Bacchiddu; and Ecopolíticas globales: medioambiente, bienestar y poder (2016), with Ángel Aedo and Juan Loera. Yadong Li is an anthropologist-in-training. He is a PhD candidate of Socio-cultural Anthropology at Tulane University. More details about his scholarship and research interests can be found here.

Und hier der zweite Teil! Ihr seht, ein äußerst ergiebiges Thema. Wir machen weiter, wo wir aufgehört haben; es geht los mit den Hominiden. Neanderthaler und co. sind heute dran, und enden tut das ganze natürlich mit uns, homo sapiens sapiens. Schnallt euch an, es geht schnell durch die Zeit!Fact check Evolution des Menschen 1Hier wie versprochen ein Link zu einem Buch, dass das Thema gut zusammenfasst und das gute visuelle Stützen liefert. Auf Seite 115 findet ihr zeitliche Einordungen der verschiedenen Homininen. Falls das ganze für euch hinter einer Paywall ist, würden wir euch aus rechtliche Gründen natürlich nie empfehlen, Seiten wie Sci-Hub zu benutzen.https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-662-70772-2.pdfWoher kommt die Redewendung “in den falschen Hals kriegen”?Es benutzt die Abwehrreaktion des Körpers, wenn man sich verschluckt (also Essen in die falsche Röhre wandert) als Metapher. Kommt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Bedeutet, etwas anders zu verstehen als es gemeint war und sehr heftig darauf zu reagieren.

Die von euch, die uns schon länger hören, wissen, wir lieben das Thema Evolution. Wir sprechen dauernd drüber. Aber bis jetzt haben wir noch nie im Detail besprochen, wie wir selber eigentlich entstanden sind. Diesen groben Fehler beheben wir jetzt, und zwar im Detail. Deshalb Teil 1. Heute geht es um alles, was vor den Hominiden kam. Was das ist, lernt ihr natürlich in der Folge.Fact Check TastsinnSind die Tastrezeptoren wirklich nach zwei Italienern und zwei Deutschen benannt?Jein, es waren tatsächlich 3 Deutsche und zwei Italiener. Friedrich Merkel und Georg Meissner waren deutsche Anatomen, Angelo Ruffini und Filippo Pacini italienische. Das Vater-Pacini-Körperchen wurde aber auch noch nach Abraham Vater benannt, einem weiteren deutschen Anatomen.Warum ist man kitzelig?Es ist noch nicht so ganz geklärt, aber es scheint ein Schutzmechanismus zu sein, der vor potentiell gefährlichen Kontakten warnt, wie zum Beispiel Insekten, die stechen oder beißen könnten. Eine soziale Komponente wird jedoch auch vermutet. Leute, die nicht oder weniger kitzelig sind, haben den Mechanismus auch, nehmen den Reiz wohl nur anders wahr und empfinden ihn deshalb nicht als das bekannte kitzeln.https://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/psychologie/warum-ist-man-kitzlig-a-1044640.htmlIst Sibylle das Orakel von Delphi?Nein!

Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas may be one of the most important reflections yet on artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.In this conversation, Jakob Lusensky and Sean McGrath explore the encyclical's central question: What does it mean to be human in an age of AI? Along the way they discuss Jung, technology, transhumanism, work, community, suffering, and why a human face that asks to be gazed upon may remain at the center of our history.The music played in this episode is licensed under creativecommons.org: Ketsa - From deep down
Send us Fan MailIn Ep. 255, a solo episode, Andrea Atherton explores the growing epidemic of loneliness and emotional disconnection affecting so many people today. Andrea shares an honest and compassionate conversation about why, despite living in the most technologically connected time in history, so many people still feel unseen, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from themselves, others, nature, and meaningful community. Through the lens of psychology, spirituality, nervous system healing, and human connection, this episode gently uncovers the deeper emotional hunger many people are silently carrying.Andrea dives into the cultural conditioning that teaches us happiness comes through achievement, money, productivity, appearance, and external validation, while so many people secretly feel empty chasing those things. Drawing from research, including the famous seventy-five-year Harvard University study on happiness and well-being, she explores how authentic relationships, emotional safety, vulnerability, purpose, and connection are actually what nourish the human soul. This episode also touches on the rise of anxiety, addiction, burnout, social media disconnection, and the loss of community in modern life.If you have been feeling lonely, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply exhausted from constantly “holding it all together,” this episode offers both validation and hope. Andrea speaks in depth and with authenticity about how we begin finding our way back to ourselves and each other, through vulnerability, self-connection, community, nature, spirituality, and meaningful human relationships. This is an invitation to slow down, breathe, reconnect, and remember what truly matters in a world that often pulls us away from our humanity and community.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
Welcome back for our twenty-ninth season of the Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership podcast. This season is years in the making. We've long wanted to bring a season full of Spirit-directed conversations on the experience of being human, in all its complicated glory, but the timing was never quite right. And now, it's finally here: Season 29 | Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few. In this first episode Ruth helps to set up our upcoming season, laying down the biblical and foundational groundwork for embodied spirituality. Drawing on Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, she reminds us that we are “spiritual beings learning to become human.” This episode is a map to help us know where we're going this season. Ruth concludes with Brian Wren's hymn “Good is the Flesh.” Mentioned in the episode: Soulful Spirituality by David Benner How Can So Many Pastors and Leaders Be Godly and Dysfunctional at the Same Time? By Todd Wilson Tending Soul, Mind and Body, the Art and Science of Spiritual Formation by Todd Wilson Into the Silent Land by Martin Laird Sacred Rhythms by Ruth Haley Barton Honoring the Body Biblical Foundations (document Ruth references in the episode) Music: Kingdom Come by Aaron Niequist Led by the Spirit from Music in Solitude We're on Substack! “On the Journey with the Transforming Center” is our home for “reflection, conversation, and connection with our transforming community.” It includes thoughtful reflections from Ruth Haley Barton and the Transforming Center team, as well as alumni and friends of the Transforming Center, occasional special video teachings and guided practices, and space to interact with our content and respond with how God is working in your life through the posts.

Justin reflects on a recent interview with Diplo about AI replacing singers and uses it as a doorway into a deeper conversation about art, product, beauty, and human value. He argues that art is not valuable because it sells or because it reaches technical perfection. Art matters because it comes from a human being in process. Drawing on examples from Diplo's collaborations, Billy Corgan's resistance to AI songwriting, CS Lewis on beauty, and Justin's own work coaching artists, this episode invites creators to resist the machine's value system and remember that the work is not the point. The human becoming through the work is.

We went through 3 IUI's and 2 IVF's, over a 3 year journey trying to get pregnant, then finally - we had our baby girl. During this time of trying to conceive we dealt with various health scares, I was let go from my job and had a family death... all within a few weeks. It was a low point in our relationship but we stuck together and pulled through.

The Saturn Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries begins a new 36-year cycle and it's arriving alongside a new era of artificial intelligence forcing a new world of work. In this episode, I share the astrology of AI, leadership, and career adaptation.

If you're navigating uncertainty, business shifts, or purpose in the Pluto in Aquarius era, this conversation helps you align your skills with the future. How are you being called to lead in this brave new world?
The digital world makes money by reinforcing our differences and fueling our disgust and anger at those who are not like us. But when we listen to others with compassionate curiosity, we can help tear down the walls that divide us and build bridges to unite us instead.For links and more info, visit:https://www.meadowheights.com/hub

Today's conversation is a homecoming—back to the body, back to character, and back to what it means to be a man. My guest, Mark Walsh, challenges the modern habit of living entirely in our heads—cut off from sensation, boundaries, and responsibility. We talk embodiment not as fitness or aesthetics, but using physical training to develop character, emotional regulation, and presence. From Stoicism and shadow work to doing hard things on purpose, this episode is about reclaiming awareness, expanding range, and building the discipline required to choose better behavior. We also confront the cult of modernity: hyper-individualism, happiness culture, pleasure-seeking that produces pain, and the loss of religion, community, and moral formation. Mark makes the case that happiness is secondary to meaning and commitment and that true freedom is forged through discipline, not the absence of limits.

In this episode, Fr. Anthony reframes prayer not as a spiritual transaction but as a lifelong conversation with God that restores our capacity to see, experience, and share His beauty, light, and love. Drawing on themes of theosis, maturation, and Zachary Porcu's vision of becoming human, he explores how prayer transforms our distorted desires, heals our blindness, and trains us to do the work God made us to do. The saints reveal that repentance and prayer are not a response to crises but a way of life — a steady ascent into clarity, freedom, and real communion with God and creation.

In this episode, I sit down with Psychedelic Somatic Therapist Christian Snuffer for a conversation about attunement—what it really means to be in touch with ourselves and each other, and why it's at the heart of healing.We talk about the nervous system (of course), and about how somatic awareness—paying attention to what's happening in our bodies—isn't just a side practice, but the actual doorway to healing. We explore how joy can sometimes feel just as threatening as pain when our bodies are wired for survival, and how dissociation shows up as a protective reflex when emotions feel too overwhelming.Christian brings such wisdom about the power of language, the pull of community, and the way nature herself teaches us how to return to regulation. Together, we explore why healing isn't a “problem to solve” but a process of becoming more fully human.If you've ever wondered why you avoid your feelings, why you can't quite let joy land, or why regulating yourself as a parent feels impossible some days—you're not broken. You're in the process of remembering.We also share about Christian's new Attunement Collective, a free space for people ready to deepen their somatic and relational practices with support.This one is tender, grounding, and full of those “aha” reframes that make you exhale. So good. You can connect with Christian and his work on his IG page @_attunement, and find access to his many offerings!
