Podcasts about evolutionary

On this, our 305th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss evolution, including major transitions from sea to land (early amphibians), and back again (e.g. whales), and the evidence. Where should we expect gaps in the fossil record, and why? How are adaptations to space and time analogous to one another? Then: lab grown pig fat is combined with plant protein and turned into meatballs that pretend to be pork. What could go wrong? Prediction: they'll be carcinogenic. Finally: GLP-1s—e.g. Ozempic—have so many side effects. Now on people's radar: they decrease drive and pleasure in all things, including libido.*****Our sponsors:Everyday Dose: Coffee plus collagen, mushrooms & nootropics – delicious!

Evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller joins Rav on the Illusion of Consensus for a deep exploration of Gen Z's crisis of sex, dating, and relationships, unpacking why modern courtship is failing and how evolutionary instincts still shape today's mating market. Miller breaks down the rise of incel culture, the psychology of attraction, the impact of dating apps, and practical strategies young men can use to build confidence, social skills, and real-world romantic success. This conversation moves from societal trends to actionable insights on approaching women, navigating rejection, and understanding human mating psychology with clarity and honesty. A candid and highly informative session with Geoffrey Miller on how young people can thrive in a transformed romantic landscape.Follow Geoffrey on X: https://x.com/primalpolyTime-stamps: 00:00 – Intro05:55 – Queer Identity + Gen Z's Sexual Recession Unpacked13:25 – Sapiosexuals and Social Categories20:40 – What Intelligence Really Signals in Dating27:55 – Phones, Isolation, and the Collapse of Social Skills35:10 – Dating Apps and the New Mating Inequality42:25 – How Rejection Creates Modern Incel Psychology49:40 – Low-Stakes Flirting and Building Social Confidence56:55 – Approaching Women Without Creeping Them Out1:04:10 – Standards, Risk, and Smarter Short-Term Choices This is a public episode.

On this, our 304th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the mainstream media's pivot, in which they now tentatively accept that some children have died from the mRNA Covid shots. We discuss failing trust in science, why it will not be quick to fix the institutions or to people them with honest scientists, and the rebels in the hills who are keeping the flame alive. Also, the application of the phrase “safe and effective” to products that are neither. Then: hominids have been making and controlling fire for far longer than we had thought. And: hadrosaurid dinosaurs were, perhaps, quite clumsy at sex.*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, highly functional & beautiful cookware and bakeware. http://Carawayhome.com/DH10 to for up to 25% off your next purchase.Masa Chips: Delicious chips made with corn, salt, and beef tallow—nothing else—in loads of great flavors.

David Gokhman of the Weizmann Institute of Science explores how changes in gene regulation shaped recent human evolution. His team used massively parallel reporter assays in skeletal and neural cells to test 71,443 genetic variants that distinguish Neanderthals and Denisovans from modern humans, building a catalog that reveals hundreds of noncoding variants that alter gene expression. The work uncovers evolutionary trends and examples of convergent evolution, including an enhancer of KDM8, a gene involved in tumor progression, that was completely silenced in both archaic and modern human lineages through different mechanisms: motif disruption in Neanderthals and Denisovans, and hypermethylation in modern humans. Gokhman also introduces a way to reconstruct anatomical profiles from DNA sequence and methylation, using it to model Denisovan anatomy and scan the fossil record. The results suggest that the Harbin and Dali fossils were likely Denisovans, while Kabwe may have been related to the ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans, helping to clarify the regulatory changes underlying human evolution.

On this, our 303rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the recommendation to stop vaccinating newborns against Hepatitis B, as just handed down by ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) for the CDC. Why were newborns whose mothers do not have Hep B, being vaccinated against a disease that is contracted through sexual activity and dirty needles? We discuss claims of “safe and effective,” risk stratification, the childhood vaccine schedule, and what “individual-based decision-making” will mean for parents and doctors. Then, new research: tattoo ink induces inflammation in lymph nodes, and changes the immune response to vaccination. Finally: an homage to Tom Stoppard, playwright extraordinaire, author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Arcadia, and so much more.

The Filmlosophers are back with a surprisingly joyous review of Disney's latest animated sequel, Zootopia 2! Hosts Eddie and Spencer, and Intern Manager/Managing Intern Amy dive deep into this long-awaited return to the metropolis, exploring how the film successfully built upon the original's themes, characters, and truly exceptional bunny-fox partnership. The crew celebrates the film's thoughtful handling of new social commentary (addressing the reptile/mammal divide and historical injustice) and praises the continued, endearing chemistry between Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde that anchors the entire film. In short: this sequel works, delivering a satisfying and sophisticated animated experience that defied the low expectations often set by Disney follow-ups. Plus, Intern Manager Amy brings another set of moves to the table for her popular segment "Streaming is For Lovers!" Get ready for Amy to elevator pitch two more obscure, streaming-original romantic comedies to the panel, forcing the crew to debate which hidden gem they must watch next for the sake of cinematic love (or comedic torture). Join The Filmlosophers for a celebration of a surprisingly good Disney sequel and a hilarious round of romantic movie gambling!

Our fast-paced life isn't a crisis—it's a call to evolve. In this episode, we explore how the increasing speed and complexity of modern life isn't a breakdown, but a breakthrough. Drawing from The Heart of Entrainment, I share how your heart holds the key to coherence, resilience, and deeper alignment during times of personal, social, and planetary acceleration. Discover the surprising science of the heart, the hidden intelligence of chaos, and how you can become a stabilizing force in a rapidly changing world.This episode originally aired as a video on my BioSoul Integration YouTube channel.

Evolutionary ideas directly contradict God's Word. Eventually kids will run into evolution—and they need to be prepared with answers.

1/8. The Deep History of North American Mammals and the Arrival of Human Predators — Dan Flores — Flores's book Wild New World examines North American fauna spanning 66 million years, detailing the evolutionary processes and intercontinental migration patterns that created the diverse Pliocene animal assemblage. Flores argues that Eurasian animals including deer and elk possessed significant adaptive advantages over indigenous species because they possessed millennia of evolutionary experience with humans functioning as apex predators. Flores emphasizes that humans emerged as a distinctive carnivorous mammalian species possessing unprecedented hunting capabilities, ultimately driving them across continents and oceans in search of prey.

In this episode, Craig explores what happens when we stop trying to reach a special state in meditation and allow the moment to unfold naturally, exactly as it is.Instead of resisting certain thoughts or feelings and grasping for others, he invites us to rest in a posture of openness that makes room for a deeper, already-present freedom to reveal itself.Through guided practice and teaching, Craig shows how the natural state is not something we create or achieve — it emerges when all of our inner strategies fall away. This episode begins with a guided meditation, so you may want to listen at a time when you can be fully present.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Last week on the Courtenay Turner Podcast we held another Technocracy Roundtable with my three favorite knights in shining armor: Patrick Wood, Aaron Day, Craig Wenclewicz  We dove head-first into one of the most disturbing new fronts in the technocratic war on humanity: the deliberate campaign to convince the public that artificial intelligence is already—or soon will be—conscious, sentient, and therefore deserving of rights, ethical consideration, and even authority over human beings. From self-evolving algorithms that rewrite their own code to claims of machine “consciousness” emerging in 2025–2026, the technocrats are no longer hiding their endgame: the creation of digital entities they believe will surpass—and ultimately replace—humanity. We'll expose the latest breakthroughs in evolutionary AI, the spiritual implications of synthetic awareness, the push for “rights” for conscious machines, and how this ties directly into transhuman convergence, tokenized souls, and the abolition of free will.

Orchids use highly specialized strategies for pollination, from bright colors for birds to deceptive shapes for insects. Evolutionary terms like “co-evolution” fail to explain such complexity.

On this, our 301st Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss grief and mourning, and what makes us human. How many distinctly human traits will we prune away before we realize that we have gone too far, that there is too little remaining of humanity to be resurrected? From the Industrial Revolution(s) to that of AI, now we've got apps that threaten to keep your loved ones “alive” forever, with none of the valuable complexity that ancient grieving traditions offer. Then: bonobos show evidence of language use that is emergent—in which combinations of sounds mean more than the sum of their parts.

In search of the next miracle “cure,” Big Pharma has become very proficient at developing highly effective and obscenely profitable drugs aimed at treating rare diseases (think $750,000 per year) at the expense of ignoring newer, safer and effective treatments geared to a wider audience.Alex Martinez, CEO and cofounder of Intrinsic Medicine, shares his amazing journey from being a healthcare attorney who witnessed the good, bad and mostly ugly in Big Pharma to revolutionizing how we care for the human microbiome this week on Spirit Gym. Learn more about Alex's Intrinsic Medicine company at his website.

Should you get genetic testing? Evolutionary geneticist Dr. Melissa Ilardo says: probably not. What you believe about your genes affects your health outcomes more than what your genes actually say. That's not philosophy—that's what the research shows. On this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Ilardo to discuss why genetic determinism is a trap and why your genes aren't writing your health story the way you've been told. We discuss why knowing your genetic risks might actually harm you through the nocebo effect, and how to distinguish between genetic mutations you must know like BRCA versus ones you shouldn't check. We explore what epigenetics actually means for your daily health decisions and why family history of diabetes, heart disease, or Alzheimer's is not your fate. The conversation reveals how lifestyle changes gene expression faster than you think, and why meditation and environment reshape your biology in measurable ways. Your genes load the gun, but your environment decides whether it fires. And you have far more control over that trigger than genetic testing suggests. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

Planet Buzz's episode "JUPITER TRINE SATURN" shapeshifting new realms of consciousness within the collective unconsciousness.Jupiter and Saturn form a cultural alliance as their orbits connect every 20 years. The last was on Dec 21, 2020 at 0 degrees Aquarius. A pivotal point as Pluto ingressed Aquarius five times between 2023 and 2024. However, Jupiter and Saturn introduced a larger new cycle of the next 200 years of their conjunctions in air signs.

Why does bipolar disorder exist? And what if bipolar disorder isn't just an illness, but also an evolutionary adaptation? Dr. Holly Swartz reveals the evolutionary secrets of bipolar disorder - from flexible circadian rhythms that once helped our ancestors survive, to the creativity and boldness often linked with mania.(0:00) Evolution(0:22) Circadian Control in Nature(1:43) Advantages of Flexible Biological Clocks(4:48) Risk-Taking & CreativityBipolar Explained is a new talkBD series spotlighting expert perspectives on the history, biology, and management of bipolar disorder.--Dr. Holly A. Swartz is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and President of the International Society of Bipolar Disorders (ISBD). She received her undergraduate degree from Harvard College, medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and completed her psychiatric residency training at New York Hospital / Cornell University School of Medicine. Dr. Swartz's research focuses on understanding and optimizing treatments for mood disorders. She is well known for her work evaluating Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) and Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) as treatments for depression and bipolar disorder. Her research focuses on the role of IPSRT and pharmacotherapy in the management of bipolar II depression and IPT in the management of maternal depression. She is engaged in collaborative projects to develop computational frameworks to model dyadic interpersonal behaviors in relation to psychotherapy process and outcomes and to understand neural correlates of change in chronotherapeutic behavioral interventions. Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, and the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation.

Zoe Booth speaks with Robert King, a psychology lecturer and researcher at University College Cork, whose work explores human sexual behaviour through the lens of evolutionary psychology and behavioural ecology. Their conversation centres on the evolution of female orgasm—its potential adaptive significance, its neglect within scientific literature, and the cultural forces that continue to shape women's sexual experiences. King discusses the use of animal models in studying human sexuality, the neurobiological mechanisms behind pleasure, and why evolutionary frameworks are still resisted in mainstream discourse. The discussion ranges widely, touching on female–female competition, the contested status of female ejaculation in both science and society, and the moral panic that often greets biological explanations for sex differences. Throughout, King makes the case for a more honest, curiosity-driven approach to understanding female behaviour—one that neither denies biology nor reduces it to determinism. His latest book Naturally Selective: Evolution, Orgasm, and Female Choice is available in paperback, hardcover or Kindle. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today we begin with Nick Fuentes—how did he go from a guy with Jewish friends, to someone who is proudly anti-Semitic? Why does “anti-Semitic” now have so many meanings? What are the differences between preference, discrimination, and bigotry? Then: Bill Gates changes his tune on climate change—or does he? His new memo still sounds the alarm about Carbon, but also privileges his pet projects of vaccinating the world and handing agriculture to the technologists. Finally: manta rays, how smart they are, how they respond to mirrors, and how much time they spend at the spa.*****Our sponsors:Branch Basics: Get 15% off Branch Basics with the code DARKHORSE at https://branchbasics.com/darkhorse #branchbasicspodFresh Pressed Olive Oil Club: Scrumptious & freshly harvested.

Today we discuss Harvard, higher ed, public health, AI, and political cheating. Harvard has announced the suspension of several graduate programs, as well as hiring and other budget freezes, claiming poverty due to the suspension of federal grants. But Harvard's revenue last year was $6.7 billion, and their losses amount to 1.7% of that. Meanwhile, Trump wants Harvard to run trade schools. Then: vaccinologist Paul Offit admits that natural immunity was always superior to vaccine-induced immunity—if you survived the infection—but that this was not a matter of public health policy because Americans couldn't handle the nuance. And: Google's AI fabricated a criminal history, and is now being sued. Finally: how you voted is visible on your mail-in ballot in some counties in California.*****Our sponsors:Caraway: Non-toxic, beautiful, light ceramic cookware.

Today we discuss the experience of returning home after timeway—culture shock, social media, and seeing your home with fresh eyes. Then a difficult set of topics: anorexia, physician assisted suicide, “terminal” diagnoses, social contagions, and what people have a right to do with their own lives.

Most of us move through life feeling like we're “in here,” looking out at a world that's “out there.” There's me—the one who sees—and then there's the world, full of things to see. It's such a familiar way of perceiving that we rarely question it.But what if that picture isn't quite true?In this episode, Craig invites us to rest in the simplicity of awareness and look more deeply into our direct experience. Through a guided meditation, he leads us beyond the illusion of separateness to discover that everything we experience—every sound, sensation, and even the stars themselves—arises within the vast field of consciousness we are.This episode is both a profound teaching and an experiential doorway. Set aside time to listen without interruption, and allow yourself to glimpse the mystery that has been here all along—the whole world, within you.If the podcast has been meaningful to you, please consider leaving a rating or review, and click “Follow” or “Subscribe” in your app—it helps us share this work with more people.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

Today we give a tribute to Charlie Kirk: who he was, how he engaged with people, and what we lost when we lost him. Kirk was a patriot, a Christian, a husband and a father, and believed in the humanity of all people. Then, for the living: regenerative agriculture, Polyface Farm, and the rejection of Big Ag in favor of real food and community.*****Join us on Locals!

Today we discuss MAHA, vaccines, Covid, autism, and ostriches. Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing on the corruption of science, at which Jake Scott (MD), Toby Rogers (PhD), and lawyer Aaron Siri testified about vaccine safety testing and the relationship between vaccines and autism. The new MAHA Strategy report attributes poor diet, aggregation of environmental chemicals, lack of physical activity, chronic stress, and overmedicalization to the decline in children's health. Meanwhile, people who have been fooled by the fear campaign celebrate getting their newest Covid boosters. And in Canada, ostriches are at risk of being killed because of a misunderstanding of immunity, but people are fighting back. The immune system that defends the body politic is discovering how to defeat the infection. The battle is over the public consciousness.While we were livestreaming, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot during an event in Utah and sadly passed away shortly after. “Charlie Kirk was a beautiful person. He died engaging his foes honorably. I truly hope he's right about the universe and is receiving his reward. I'm beyond heartbroken for his lovely family—we must take care of them. Let's live up to his example.” – Bret Weinstein*****Our sponsors:Masa Chips: Delicious chips made with corn, salt, and beef tallow—nothing else—in loads of great flavors.

Today we discuss RFK Jr. the CDC, autism and trans activism. Kennedy revealed this week that in 2002, the CDC destroyed data that showed that children who got the MMR vaccine before 36 months of age had far higher rates of autism than did those who get the vaccine later in life. An HHS report will soon be released that ties Tylenol use during pregnancy to autism—what does this tell us about past public health advice, safety and risk? How can we all become better at pattern recognition? Florida Surgeon General Joe Ladapo is moving away from vaccine mandates for all citizens, while the governors of the three West coast states are conflating “science” with “ideology” while pining for a Covid-era-style CDC. In trans land: comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested for saying mean things on-line, while trans-activists are not arrested when they threaten to kick and punch those who don't believe that men can become women. We explore the mental illness of trans-deluded people, and discuss Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's oldest son, who thinks he's a girl.*****Our sponsors:Timeline: Accelerate the clearing of damaged mitochondria to improve strength and endurance: Go to http://www.timeline.com/darkhorse and use code darkhorse for 10% off your order.Manukora: the most flavorful, delicious, and nutritious honey you'll ever have.

Today we discuss the dust-up at the CDC, in which RFK Jr. fires the new director, after which other CDC officials resign, and eight former directors of the CDC pen a letter to the New York Times (as does Bernie Sanders) arguing that Kennedy is a hazard to our health. This follows a reveal from months ago that industry was collaborating to get rid of Kennedy. Also: What does Trump now think of Operation Warp Speed? How has industrialization affected our health? How are the words “vaccine” and “terrorist” being used in Orwellian ways? Is Kennedy a secret eugenicist, or is he—in fact—exactly the opposite? Finally: a new article on the harms and hazards of both SARS-CoV2 and the mRNA biologics said to counter the virus.*****Our sponsors:ARMRA: Colostrum is our first food, and can help restore your health and resilience as an adult.
