All the pups we love—from chihuahuas to great danes—are descendants of the mighty gray wolf. But how did we end up with so many breeds? The story that's often told is that dog diversity really took off with the Victorians in the 1800s, but new research is unleashing a different tale. Host Flora Lichtman talks with bioarchaeologist Carly Ameen about the diversification of dogs. Plus, a long-running experiment to tame silver foxes is cluing us into how domestication happens. Canine researcher Erin Hecht gives us a glimpse into the experiment and what it tells us about domesticated brains.Guests:Dr. Carly Ameen is a bioarcheologist and lecturer at the University of Exeter in England.Dr. Erin Hecht is an evolutionary biologist at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Do new UAP sightings mean alien contact is imminent? Lue Elizondo is a former U.S. Army counterintelligence special agent and a former senior intelligence officer for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. With decades of experience in national security, he conducted and supervised clandestine operations worldwide, specializing in counterterrorism, espionage, and advanced aerospace threats. He is best known for his role as the former head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), where he investigated unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and pushed for greater transparency on non-human intelligence (NHI). In this show, Elizondo reveals the existence of a decades-long “Legacy Program”—a covert operation investigating unidentified aerial phenomena that operated without congressional oversight for more than 80 years. This isn't about blurry lights in the sky. It's about crash retrievals, exotic materials, and physical craft allegedly in U.S. possession dating back to Roswell and beyond, quietly studied by the military-industrial complex while the public was fed weather balloon and swamp gas cover stories. He describes the Cold War you never learned about—not just a race to the moon, but a race to reverse-engineer technology so advanced it makes nuclear weapons look primitive. Then comes the phrase that changed everything: “non-human biologics.” The conversation shifted from metal to flesh. Not drones—occupants. Craft that were piloted. Pilots that didn't survive. The science is even more unsettling. These UAPs demonstrate capabilities that defy known physics: instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speed without sonic booms, and right-angle turns that would liquefy a human body. The implication? They may not be “traveling” at all—but warping space-time itself, moving inside a gravitational bubble. And what if they aren't coming from far away? Elizondo weighs theories that these entities may be interdimensional, not extraterrestrial—originating not light-years away, but right here, just beyond our perceptual bandwidth. While we smash particles at CERN to glimpse the fabric of reality, these craft appear to move through it. From the Tic Tac incident, to swarms over Langley Air Force Base, to a recent triangle-shaped craft sighting over Area 51, the phenomenon is becoming more visible, more aggressive, and harder to dismiss. Elizondo's message—echoed in the title of his book, Imminent—is clear: the clock is ticking. If contact is coming, the real question isn't whether we're ready technologically—but whether we're ready socially, psychologically, and spiritually. A relationship with a non-human intelligence wouldn't mean trade agreements. Elizondo explains what it could mean for a fundamental rewrite of physics, religion, power, and humanity's place in the universe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Once survival is secured, a different question emerges: what is life for? In this episode of Context, we trace three enduring sources of human purpose—endurance, exploration, and understanding—through three excellent books: The Wager, Undaunted Courage, and A Short History of Nearly Everything. From shipwrecked sailors struggling to preserve dignity, to Lewis and Clark crossing an unmapped continent, to scientists devoting their entire lives to understanding how the universe works, we'll consider how human beings have sought more than mere comfort. The result is a long-view reflection on what intelligence is for. And why, in the age of artificial intelligence, remembering these layers of meaning may matter more than ever.

We've all marveled at the transformation of the caterpillar into the butterfly. We think of it as a singular mystery of nature, but nearly three-quarters of all animal species undergo some form of metamorphosis. In Oren Harman's new book, "Metamorphosis: a Natural and Human History," he explores the scientific, philosophical, and artistic aspects of transformation. How does it fit with the questions about individuality, struggle, and the life cycle?

Former St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson shares his analysis of the Alex Pretti shooting video and other tactics he's seen from ICE officials that have no place in law enforcement.

Professor Klaus Schwab founded the World Economic Forum in 1971 as an independent platform for dialogue among business, government, academia, and civil society. Under his leadership, it became a key global institution promoting public-private collaboration and shaping ideas like stakeholder capitalism and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. With his wife, Hilde, he created the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship to foster innovation and social impact worldwide. In 2025, he launched the Schwab Academy to prepare leaders for the emerging Intelligent Age.

I am so honored to have Senator John Kennedy join me today. If you know the Senator, you know he tells it exactly like it is: no filter, no teleprompter, just straight common sense. We really went there in this one, covering everything from the high-stakes military action in Venezuela to the "special kind of stupid" he sees in government bureaucracy. We took a deep dive into the reality of what's happening at our border, the "loon wing" of the Democratic party, and why he's sounding the alarm on the rise of socialism in cities like New York. But beyond the politics, the Senator shared some incredibly personal stories including how he defied orders to save pets during Hurricane Katrina and his honest assessment of meeting with Joe Biden early in his presidency. Senator Kennedy is one of a kind. He's brilliant, he's hilarious, and he reminds us all why we have to stand strong because as he says, "weakness invites the wolves.

Would you like some genetics in your politics? The Origin of Politics: How Evolution and Ideology Shape the Fate of Nations – Social Disintegration, Birth Rates, and the Path to Extinction By: Nicholas Wade Published: 2025 256 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? Wade offers up an evolutionary psychology account of how to make politics actually function; how, when you try to disconnect politics and the exercise of power from core human nature, as shaped by evolution, things go off the rails.  What authorial biases should I be aware of? Nicholas Wade worked as a science writer for the NYT for 30 years. For the bulk of those years he was the science and health editor. He left the paper in 2012 and in 2014 he published A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History. The book argued that human evolution is ongoing and that it has been "recent, copious, and regional". The regional part got him "cancelled" or at least it attracted a lot of negative attention, since it implied that differing national outcomes might be partly genetic in nature rather than wholly the result of chance, culture, or colonization.  Who should read this book? If you're looking for a strong pushback against blank-slateism along with a defense of the traditional nation-state (and of tradition in general). Or if you're looking for another reason to worry about decreasing fertility.  What does the book have to say about the future? The aforementioned fertility decline looms large in his warnings about the future, but as I mentioned he also warns about any policy that tries to exercise power in ignorance of evolutionary drives. One of the major drives is tribalism and immigration directly conflicts with that instinct. All of this points to the potential for a demographically declining society with lots of disorder.  Specific thoughts: Children are the ultimate civilizational scorecard

Join us for a captivating conversation with Aleksander Czeszkiewicz, the remarkable Polish researcher and author who penned his groundbreaking first book at the astonishing age of just 17.In Déjà Vu: Has Everything Already Been?, Aleksander masterfully weaves together ancient myths — from the legendary Atlantis to parallel global flood stories — with enigmatic archaeological wonders like the pyramids and other megalithic structures that continue to baffle modern science.He boldly challenges the mainstream narrative of linear human progress, presenting compelling evidence for a cyclical view of history: advanced golden ages that rose and fell, wiped out by cataclysmic events at the end of the last Ice Age around 9,600 BCE.Drawing on interdisciplinary insights from mythology, folklore, archaeology, geology, and ancient texts, Aleksander explores provocative questions:- Were these monumental structures built using lost technologies or for purposes far beyond what conventional history admits?- Do global legends preserve real memories of a forgotten prehistoric civilization — one more sophisticated than we've been led to believe?- Is humanity caught in a profound pattern of rise, collapse, and rebirth?Prepare for a mind-expanding journey that uncovers hidden connections across continents, reinterprets the distant past, and invites you to question everything you thought you knew about human origins.Whether you're a longtime explorer of forbidden history or new to these mysteries, this episode delivers fresh perspectives, rigorous research, and that thrilling sense of déjà vu — as if we've been here before.Tune in now and discover why Aleksander's work is generating worldwide attention — and why the past may be more alive than we ever imagined!Book (US):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGN8VZ3DBook (UK):https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGN8VZ3Dhttps://www.czeszkiewiczglobal.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@czeszkiewiczglobalhttps://www.facebook.com/czeszkiewiczglobalWe are thrilled to announce the official launch of Let's Get Freaky merchandise!

This episode was first published in August.In the space of a few short years, generative AI has exploded into our daily lives, impacting the way we learn, work and understand the world around us.Open AI, the American artificial intelligence company cofounded by Sam Altman and Elon Musk in 2015 which runs ChatGPT, claims its non-profit “mission” is to ensure these systems “benefit all of humanity”.And while the launch of ChatGPT has undoubtedly lightened the workload of many, engineer, journalist and AI expert Karen Hao says the AI race for world domination carries a huge human and environmental cost.In 2019, Hao spent three days embedded in the offices of OpenAI and discovered this company, which claims to be transparent and operating “for the good of humanity”, was in fact highly secretive.In her bestselling book ‘Empire of AI: Inside the reckless race for total domination', Hao warns that the world has entered a new and ominous age of empire, where a small handful of companies are writing the future of humanity.Today, on the In The News podcast, how the race for total AI domination is repeating the worst of human history.Karen Hao discusses the severe cost of the seemingly unstoppable growth of OpenAI.Presented by Sorcha Pollak.

Petrified Forest National Park is one of the most significant archeological landscapes in the United States, preserving evidence of human history that stretches back over 13,000 years. While the park is often associated with petrified wood and Triassic-era fossils, its cultural resources tell an equally powerful story about long-term human interaction with the land.In this episode of the Safe Travels Podcast, I'm joined by Lead Archeologist and Park Ranger Jon Hardes for an in-depth conversation on archeology at Petrified Forest National Park and why the park plays a critical role in understanding the culture of descendent communities in the region.We also explore Jon's area of expertise in zooarcheology, a field that uses animal remains to help interpret past human behavior and environmental conditions.Finally, our discussion touches on how human relationships with natural landscapes have changed over thousands of years and what archeological evidence can reveal about those changes.______________Follow us on social!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safetravelspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@safetravelspodYouTube: youtube.com/@safetravelspodSafetravelspod.com 

When Lee Berger entered the field of palaeoanthropology there was a one in 10,000,000 chance he would discover anything 'worthwhile' digging around South Africa. But this real-life Indiana Jones kept bucking the odds.First, he found a pair of hominid teeth in southern Africa, and then after a fossil-hunting dry spell, his 9-year-old son Matthew found the jawbone of a completely new hominid species.A few years later came Lee's most extraordinary discovery yet: a nearly inaccessible cave filled with skeletons of another new hominid species, which seemed to be violating all the rules.The story of what happened in this cave revolutionises what we understand about the origins of our own human species.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer was Carmel Rooney.It explores human history, archaeology, Africa, caving, exploration, science, modern history, evolution, biology, bones, forensics, media, journalism, what to study, curious kids, curiosity, podcasts for kids, fascinating science, fascinating history, research, human mysteries, anthropology.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Sam Kelly joins us at Wake the Dead for in depth discussion about 'Human History on Drugs'. For as long as there has been consciousness in humans, There has also been drugs in humans. Sam gives us a new perspective on history. Mainstream historians overlook the fact that Freud was a ruthless cocaine addict. Amphetamines makes sense of Hitler's ceaseless raving. Maybe eating liquid mercury is a bad idea. Maybe psychedelics have actually expanded our minds and influenced our modern world. Maybe drugs are too big of an influence on our world to overlook them as a crime. Sam's new book Human History on Drugs takes un unflinching inquisitive look at history.

Are we sleepwalking into the biggest technological revolution in human history? In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Mustafa Suleyman — CEO of Microsoft AI & author of The Coming Wave — breaks down what it really means to live in a world undergoing a massive reckoning with Artificial Intelligence. Whether you love it, hate it, or don't even realize you're already using it, AI is quietly reshaping everything we know about medicine, government, finance, energy, and even human relationships. Mustafa pulls back the curtain on the true risks of AI, the benefits that may outweigh them, and the unsettling truth about how fast this technology is evolving...much faster than anyone predicted. He reveals the single most significant global use-case of AI today (and why it's a direct challenge to human evolution), the surprising reason AI therapy and companionship are exploding worldwide, and what we're unintentionally outsourcing to machines that may isolate us from real human connection. We dive into: - The waves of AI evolution and what comes next - The coming disruption to the economy and the job market - How to prepare (and parent) in a world powered by AI - Why AI's similarity to the human brain's neural networks is both fascinating and terrifying - The urgent need for guardrails and safeguards before bad actors use AI to manipulate individuals and entire societies - Mind-blowing breakthroughs AI could unlock in human potential - Why Mustafa believes AI will never develop its own awareness or agenda - And the controversial question: Will it take a catastrophic AI event to force governments and agencies to finally work together? This is not just a conversation about technology, it's a conversation about humanity's future, the choices we're making right now, and the consequences of ignoring the wave that's already here.

Robert Breedlove eloquently lays out a blueprint for reclaiming autonomy in a world ruled by inflation and government overreach. You'll hear a blunt assessment of why socialism repeatedly fails and turns murderous, guided by brutal incentives and philosophical errors. Moving beyond critique, the episode shifts toward solutions: why private property matters, why Bitcoin is uniquely resistant to theft and inflation, and how decentralization might change war, politics, and the shape of the future. Part 2 explores the real-world implications of an economy built on fiat and debt, the slow erosion of purchasing power, and the mathematical inevitability of open conflict when deficits spiral out of control. Tom and Robert go head-to-head on the accessibility of Bitcoin for the average person, the limits of technological optimism, and the possible impact of AI and robotics on both meaning and scarcity in human life.

But Jonathan Foley, Executive Director of Project Drawdown, sees it differently. He describes it as “the single biggest business opportunity in human history.”In today's episode, Jonathan shared insights about the 100 climate solutions identified by Project Drawdown. Eighty of these solutions are already scaling successfully, while 20 more are proven but not yet implemented widely. Together, they represent a roadmap to solving climate change—and an economic goldmine.Jonathan explains, “If we add them all together, they're more than enough to stop climate change if we really deploy them at scale. For every dollar we spend doing this, we return three to four more back to the economy.”These solutions span five major areas: electricity, food and land use, industry, transportation, and buildings. While renewable energy like solar and wind often dominate the conversation, Jonathan highlighted other impactful opportunities, such as reducing food waste, developing carbon-friendly cement, and rethinking air conditioning systems.He also emphasized the role of innovation and entrepreneurship. “We literally have to reinvent our energy systems, our food systems, our manufacturing, our cities—everything. You could look at that as a really big problem, or you could see it as a great opportunity. Especially if we do it right, we can improve lives, reduce inequity, and build a better world for future generations.”Jonathan's optimism is grounded in the potential of these solutions to create transformative change. He believes this moment is about more than just addressing climate change—it's about reshaping the future. “This is like the best bargain in human history,” he said.By scaling these ideas, we can not only stop climate change but also unlock trillions of dollars in economic value. Jonathan's message is clear: the time to act is now, and the tools to succeed are within our grasp.tl;dr:Jonathan Foley explains how scaling 100 proven climate solutions can stop climate change economically.He highlights five focus areas: electricity, food, industry, transportation, and buildings, for impactful innovation.Jonathan shares how food waste and carbon-friendly cement represent untapped opportunities for change.He emphasizes optimism, collaboration, and seeing climate solutions as business opportunities, not burdens.Jonathan discusses his superpower of bridging science with real-world action to drive global progress.How to Develop Bridging Science and the Real World As a SuperpowerJonathan's superpower is his ability to connect rigorous science with real-world needs and concerns. He describes himself as a “fence straddler,” explaining, “I like to have one foot in the world of science and one foot in the real world.” This ability allows him to translate complex scientific ideas into actionable solutions while also bringing the concerns of everyday people, businesses, and communities back to scientists. Jonathan adds, “It's not just the science talking—it's about listening much more than we speak.”Jonathan shared how his role at the California Academy of Sciences allowed him to merge science with public engagement. By using the museum as a platform, he effectively communicated climate science to larger audiences, fostering thoughtful conversations about sustainability. This experience inspired him to shift from research to leadership roles, where he could bridge the gap between scientific innovation and real-world implementation, helping to make climate solutions accessible and actionable.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Listen More Than You Speak: Focus on understanding the concerns of others before offering solutions.Make Complex Ideas Accessible: Learn to translate technical knowledge into language that resonates with different audiences.Engage with Diverse Groups: Build connections across sectors, including science, business, and community organizations.Seek Feedback: Regularly ask people outside your field what they need to know from your expertise.Focus on Real-World Impact: Align your work with practical applications that address tangible problems.By following Jonathan's example and advice, you can make bridging science and the real world a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Nicholas Wade is a former science writer for The New York Times and author of several books on human evolution, including A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race, and Human History and his new book, The Origin of Politics: How Evolution and Ideology Shape the Fate of Nations. Today, I invite Wade on to discuss some of the toughest topics in modern science: the controversial territory of race and genetics, and whether there are fundamental genetic differences between right-wingers and left-wingers. We also dig into the fertility crisis. Birth rates across the developed world have collapsed below replacement level, and no country except religious Georgia has figured out how to reverse the trend. Wade explains why modern economic progress makes having children less appealing, and why the breakdown of the family matters. Finally, we talk about how the modern nation-state stamped out tribalism, why the academic establishment refuses to engage honestly with genetics research, what evolutionary psychology tells us about foreign policy, and much more. Whether you find Wade's evolutionary framework persuasive or not, I hope our conversation raises questions that most political leaders and academics prefer to ignore.

Daniel 11 stands as one of the most remarkably detailed prophecies in all of Scripture, outlining centuries of political conflict, alliances, and rulers long before they ever existed. From the rise of Persian kings and Alexander the Great to the power struggles of the Seleucid and Ptolemaic empires, this chapter demonstrates the unparalleled historical and prophetic accuracy of the Book of Daniel.Scholars and skeptics alike have wrestled with how precisely Daniel 11 mirrors the Hellenistic era, detailing events that align perfectly with ancient records. This level of detail makes Daniel one of the most intellectually compelling and academically verified prophetic texts in the Bible.Join Lonaiah and Pastors Jim and John as they examine the historical context, archaeological evidence, and theological implications of Daniel 11—revealing how its fulfilled prophecy validates the divine inspiration of Scripture and points forward to the end times events yet to unfold.

News with Sean 9-26-2025 …It Could Change the Course of Human History

Mount Fuji is at once instantly familiar and seemingly immutable, yet it always remains strange and changeable. Its postcard-perfect peak is known around the world as a wonder of nature and a symbol of Japan. But behind that outline lies a far more complicated history.Over the centuries, Fuji's eruptions devastated farmland and terrified villagers. Revered as a sacred presence, its divine inhabitants changed with shifts in belief and power. Once locally known, Fuji later became claimed as a national emblem, its slopes inspiring poetry, painting, and pilgrimage—and serving as the stage for political and economic disputes.In Fuji: A Mountain in the Making (Princeton, 2025), Andrew Bernstein traces this layered story from the mountain's surprisingly recent geological beginnings to its recognition as a World Heritage Site. The result is a portrait of a place both familiar and unsettled: a mountain still in the making, continually remade by the humans who live with it, use it, revere it, and visit it.For show notes and more, go to the Historically Thinking Substack page for this episode.

Hi friends! We're taking a much-needed summer pause—we'll have new episodes for you later in September. In the meanwhile, enjoy this pick from our archives! ------- [originally aired June 1, 2023] There's a common story about the human past that goes something like this. For a few hundred thousand years during the Stone Age we were kind of limping along as a species, in a bit of a cognitive rut, let's say. But then, quite suddenly, around 30 or 40 thousand years ago in Europe, we really started to come into our own. All of a sudden we became masters of art and ornament, of symbolism and abstract thinking. This story of a kind of "cognitive revolution" in the Upper Paleolithic has been a mainstay of popular discourse for decades. I'm guessing you're familiar with it. It's been discussed in influential books by Jared Diamond and Yuval Harari; you can read about it on Wikipedia. What you may not know is that this story, compelling as it may be, is almost certainly wrong. My first guest today is Dr. Eleanor Scerri, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, where she heads the Pan-African Evolution research group. My second guest is Dr. Manuel Will, an archaeologist and Lecturer at the University of Tübingen in Germany. Together, Eleanor and Manuel are authors of a new paper titled 'The revolution that still isn't: The origins of behavioral complexity in Homo sapiens.' In the paper, they pull together a wealth of evidence showing that there really was no cognitive revolution—no one watershed moment in time and space. Rather, the origins of modern human cognition and culture are to be found not in one part of Europe but across Africa. And they're also to be found much earlier than that classic picture suggests.  Here, we talk about the “cognitive revolution" model and why it has endured. We discuss a seminal paper from the year 2000 that first influentially challenged the revolution model. We talk about the latest evidence of complex cognition from the Middle Stone Age in Africa—including the perforation of marine shells to make necklaces; and the use of ochre for engraving, painting, and even sunblock. We discuss how, though the same complex cognitive abilities were likely in place for the last few hundred thousand years, those abilities were often expressed patchily in different parts of the world at different times. And we consider the factors that led to this patchy expression, especially changes in population size.   I confess I was always a bit taken with this whole "cognitive revolution" idea. It had a certain mystery and allure. This new picture that's taking its place is certainly a bit messier, but no less fascinating. And, more importantly, it's truer to the complexities of the human saga.  Alright friends, on to my conversation with Eleanor Scerri & Manuel Will. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode is available here.   Notes and links 3:30 – The paper by Dr. Scerri and Dr. Will we discuss in this episode is here. Their paper updates and pays tribute to a classic paper by McBrearty and Brooks, published in 2000. 6:00 – The classic “cognitive revolution” model sometimes discussed under the banner of “behavioral modernity” or the “Great Leap Forward.” It has been recently featured, for instance, in Harari's Sapiens. 11:00 – Dr. Scerri has written extensively on debates about where humans evolved within Africa—see, e.g., this paper.  18:00 – A study of perforated marine shells in North Africa during the Middle Stone Age. A paper by Dr. Will and colleagues about the use of various marine resources during this period.  23:00 – A paper describing the uses of ochre across Africa during the Middle Stone Age. Another paper describing evidence for ochre processing 100,000 years ago at Blombos Cave in South Africa. At the same site, engraved pieces of ochre have been found. 27:00 – A study examining the evidence that ochre was used as an adhesive. 30:00 – For a recent review of the concept of “cumulative culture,” see here. We discussed the concept of “cumulative culture” in our earlier episode with Dr. Cristine Legare.  37:00 – For an overview of the career of the human brain and the timing of various changes, see our earlier episode with Dr. Jeremy DeSilva. 38:00 – An influential study on the role of demography in the emergence of complex human behavior. 41:00 – On the idea that distinctive human intelligence is due in large part to culture and our abilities to acquire cultural knowledge, see Henrich's The Secret of Our Success. See also our earlier episode with Dr. Michael Muthukrishna.  45:00 – For discussion of the Neanderthals and why they may have died out, see our earlier episode with Dr. Rebecca Wragg Sykes.    Recommendations Dr. Scerri recommends research on the oldest Homo sapiens fossils, found in Morocco and described here, and new research on the evidence for the widespread burning of landscapes in Malawi, described here.  Dr. Will recommends the forthcoming update of Peter Mitchell's book, The Archaeology of Southern Africa.

CLOSING DAYS OF THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER FOR $10 MILLION FIRST PRIZE IN LAS VEGAS: 4/4: Seven Games: A Human History, by Oliver Roeder. https://www.amazon.com/Seven-Games-History-Oliver-Roeder/dp/1324003774 Checkers, backgammon, chess, and go. Poker, Scrabble, and bridge. These seven games, ancient and modern, fascinate millions of people worldwide. In Seven Games, Oliver Roeder charts their origins and historical importance, the delightful arcana of their rules, and the ways their design makes them pleasing. Roeder introduces thrilling competitors, such as the evangelical minister Marion Tinsley, who across forty years lost only three games of checkers; Shusai, the Master, the last gochampion of imperial Japan, defending tradition against “modern rationalism.” and an IBM engineer who created a backgammon program so capable at self-learning that NASA used it on the space shuttle. He delves into the history and lore of each game: backgammon boards in ancient Egypt, the Indian origins of chess, how certain shells from a particular beach in Japan make the finest white gostones. Beyond the cultural and personal stories, Roeder explores why games, seemingly trivial pastimes, speak so deeply to the human soul. He introduces an early philosopher of games, the aptly named Bernard Suits, and visits an Oxford cosmologist who has perfected a computer that can effectively play bridge, a game as complicated as human language, itself. 1945
