“I’m interested in writing because I don’t want to sleepwalk through life. I feel like we have an appallingly brief time on earth, and we’re here to see and understand and do as much good as we can before we’re gone.” –Anthony Doerr In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Anthony talk about how the pace of travel changes the experience of travel, and what it’s like to travel as a writer (2:45); how to manage the local and the global, the specific and the universal, the concrete and the speculative, in one’s writing (12:30); how the idea of “home” influences one’s craft as a writer who travels (23:00); common mistakes writers make when writing about places and cultures they don’t know well, and humiliating travel (and book-tour) experiences (31:00). Anthony Doerr is a novelist and essayist, and short story writer. His 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and was made into a Netflix miniseries in 2023.

P.M. Edition for Oct. 23. More than 30 people, including Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were charged today in an investigation into illegal gambling, rigged poker games, and match-fixing in the NBA. We hear from WSJ sports reporter Jared Diamond about what this means for the league, and the role that legal gambling platforms may have played in the alleged crimes. Plus, in an exclusive, we report that President Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, which may pave the way for the world's largest crypto exchange to return to the U.S. And struggling food company Beyond Meat became one of the most traded stocks in the U.S. yesterday. WSJ markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang joins to discuss why the company's stock is the latest to become a meme, and what it means for the company in the long term. Alex Ossola hosts.

Quand on pense au luxe français, certaines maisons incarnent à elles seules un mélange rare : indépendance, transmission familiale et capacité à se réinventer sans jamais perdre leur âme. Longchamp en fait partie.Pour la première fois dans ce podcast, j'ai choisi de donner la parole à 2 voix : Jean Cassegrain, président de Longchamp à l'échelle mondiale, et son fils Hector Cassegrain, directeur France.Dans cet échange, on a parlé de ce qui fait la singularité d'une maison familiale devenue une icône du luxe. Comment transmettre un héritage sans jamais le figer ? Comment préserver une identité forte tout en osant la réinventer ? Comment transformer une boutique en véritable lieu d'expérience ? Et bien sûr, comment un sac comme le Pliage peut devenir à la fois un symbole de continuité et d'audace.Mais au-delà de ces questions de stratégie, Jean et Hector se livrent avec une sincérité rare : sur leurs valeurs, leur attachement profond à la France, leur rapport au temps long… et ce que cela implique, très concrètement, de travailler en famille.C'est une plongée unique dans les coulisses d'une maison que j'admire profondément, et dont l'histoire résonne bien au-delà du monde du luxe.Bonne écoute !Notes et références de l'épisode :

Kitap Kulübü'müzün 55.buluşmasında Jared Diamond'ın Tüfek, Mikrop ve Çelik adlı kitabını konuştuk.Diamond kitapta, insanlık tarihindeki eşitsizliklerin nedenlerini bireylerin zekâsı ya da yetenekleriyle değil, yaşanılan coğrafyanın sunduğu avantajlarla açıklamaya çalışıyor. Özellikle tarımın ve hayvan evcilleştirmenin ilk başladığı bölgelerin, yiyecek üretimi sayesinde kalabalık topluluklara ve uzmanlaşmaya olanak sağladığını savunuyor. Bu durumun; teknolojik ilerleme, siyasi örgütlenme, yazının gelişimi ve hastalıklara bağışıklık gibi avantajlara zemin hazırladığını iddia ediyor. Avrasya kıtasının doğu-batı yönündeki iklimsel benzerliği sayesinde bu gelişmelerin yayılması daha kolay olduğunu; diğer kıtalardaki toplumların ise bu tür avantajlardan mahrum kaldığını ifade ediyor.Kitap yayımlandığı 1997 yılından bu yana sosyal bilimler, tarih ve coğrafya alanlarında çığır açıcı bir eser olarak kabul edilmiş. Akademik disiplinler arasında köprü kurarak tarihsel gelişmeleri ekoloji, biyoloji ve coğrafya ile ilişkilendirmiş. Pulitzer Ödülü başta olmak üzere pek çok prestijli ödül alan eser, özellikle “ırkçı” açıklamalara alternatif sunması, Batı'nın üstünlüğünü doğal olmayan nedenlerle açıklayan görüşlere bilimsel bir karşılık olması açısından ayrı bir öneme sahip. Geniş kitlelere ulaşması, popüler bilim kitapları arasında uzun süre ilk sıralarda yer almasına neden olmuş.Ancak kitap eleştirilerden de azade değil. Pek çok akademisyen, Diamond'ın tarihsel süreci fazla indirgemeci bir yaklaşımla ele aldığını ve kültürel, politik, ideolojik faktörleri geri planda bıraktığını savundu. İnsan iradesine, liderliğe ya da tesadüfi olaylara neredeyse hiç yer vermemesi; tarihin çok boyutlu doğasını yansıtmadığı gerekçesiyle eleştirildi. Ayrıca bazı bölgelerin –özellikle Afrika kıtasının– tarihsel rolünün yeterince işlenmemesi ve istisnai örneklerin dışarıda bırakılması da kitapta eksik kalan noktalar arasında gösterildi. Tüm bunlara rağmen Tüfek, Mikrop ve Çelik, tarihsel eşitsizliklerin kökenini anlamaya yönelik tartışmaları hem akademide hem toplumda derinleştiren öncü bir eser olarak konumunu koruyor.Okuması detaylı bilimsel açıklamalar nedeniyle biraz zorlayıcı ama özellikle tarih, antropoloji gibi sosyal bilimlere meraklıysanız okumanızı tavsiye ediyoruz.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım (02:41) Feyza Demir, (12:27) Halime Özben Hacı, (15:22) Dilek Geçit, (16:27) Mete Yurtsever, (17:13) Dilek Geçit ve (22:11) Bahadır BalibaşaSupport the show

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. See Twitter for more updates from Dr. Scerri and Dr. Will.   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation to Indiana University.

In this episode of the Three Inning Fan Show with Kelley Franco, Jared Diamond, sports columnist for the Wall Street Journal, discusses his recent piece on The Battery in Atlanta, the most envied stadium setup in MLB. The Battery is not just a ballpark, but a mixed-use development that has become a model for other sports organizations. It contains apartments, offices, hotels, restaurants, a concert venue, a movie theater, and other entertainment options – even a mechanical bull. What's particularly of interest to other sports club owners? The revenue that's being created by The Battery, which does not have to be shared with other baseball clubs under MLB's revenue sharing system. And they are raking it in. Join Kelley and Jared as they discuss this sports venue that could just be the stadium setup of the future. And of course don't miss Jared's take on…what's good to eat while watching the ballgame.

This Flashback Friday and 10th show is from episode 340, published last Sep 25, 2013. Renowned author, physiologist, evolutionary biologist and bio geographer, Dr. Jared Diamond, joins Jason Hartman for a discussion of his newest book, The World Until Yesterday. Dr. Diamond's unique background has shaped his integrated version of human history. He posits that success – and failure – depends on how well societies adapt to their changing environment. Dr. Diamond is also a medical researcher and professor of physiology at the UCLA School of Medicine. His book "Guns, Germs and Steel" won a Pulitzer Prize and "The Third Chimpanzee" was a best-selling award winner. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, Professor Diamond is a MacArthur Fellow who has published over 200 articles in Discover, Natural History, Nature and Geo magazines. In his books Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse (and the popular PBS and National Geographic documentaries they inspired), big-picture scholar Jared Diamond explores civilizations and why they all seem to fall. Now in his latest book, The World Until Yesterday, Diamond examines the traditional societies of New Guinea -- and discovers that modern civilization is only our latest solution to survival.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Elle a été décrite par Dumont d'Urville en 1828, qui enquêtait sur la disparition de l'expédition de La Pérouse.En 1868, Jules Verne immortalise l'île dans Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, avec l'escale du capitaine Nemo.En 2018, le roi de l'île, Ti Namo se rend à Grenoble pour alerter l'Occident sur les conséquences du réchauffement climatique : submersion et cyclones à répétition.Dans la lignée de De l'inégalité parmi les sociétés (1997), Jared Diamond a étudié Tikopia dans son livre Effondrement : Comment les sociétés décident de leur disparition ou de leur survie (2005).Tikopia a donné son nom au média en ligne Tikographie. Le 21/03/2025, la tikopienne Marie-Pierre Demarty a interviewé Marc Mortelmans, le créateur des podcasts Baleine sous Gravillon et de Mécaniques du Vivant._______

The Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire provides a great opportunity to think about many complex historical questions. How should we think about topics of colonialism and conquest from a modern lens? How are morality and historical narrative closely tied together? How did Spanish people and Mexica people think about the conquest both at the time and deep into the future? The answers to these questions give insight into how morality and psychology are at the center of many historical stories.  This is Part VI in a series on the rise, fall, and enduring legacy of the Aztec Empire. In this episode I discuss colonialist narratives of history, the "civilizing mission" and how morality was at the center of the Spanish conquest, the Quetzocoatl narrative of the Spanish conquest, Jared Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel hypothesis, and how both sides of this conflict felt cognitive dissonance at the time and in their later tellings of their histories. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Persians. Romans. Chinese. Guptas. Abbasids. Mongols. British. The list of the world's largest empires is a list of different peoples of Eurasia. With the sole exception of ancient Egypt, the Eurasian landmass has been the breeding ground for the largest empire of each moment in history. Why has Eurasia been so prone to large empires? Similarly, why did so many technological breakthroughs — from writing to gunpowder — occur in Eurasia? And how did these broader patterns of Eurasian history enable the dark chapters of European colonialism? These questions constitute some of the “broadest patterns of history”, to quote Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. Indeed, these are not only the broad contours of the last few millennia: searching for answers, we need to dig deep into the origins of agriculture and beyond. My guest today, ⁠Ideen Riahi⁠, has been digging very deep indeed. Building on Diamond's original project, Riahi has traced the deepest roots behind Eurasia's outsized power in human history. And if he is correct, these roots extend to periods way before the dawn of agriculture. In this episode, we discuss topics such as: The “Why Eurasia?” questions: What does it mean? What answers do we have? And is this a meaningful question to start with? Environmental determinism vs environmental realism Did the activities of our Ice Age ancestors prepare Eurasian lands for farms, cows, and cavalries? Riahi's case against genetic explanations of Eurasian dominance and Europe's rise As always, we finish with my guest's reflections on humanity.

Nech by sa zdalo akokoľvek mocné, bohaté či až po uši vyzbrojené, nejestvuje impérium, ktoré by napokon nepadlo. Nepretrvala Rímska ríša, upadla a zanikla Osmanská ríša a ani Britské impérium, o ktorom sa hovorilo, že nad ním slnko nezapadá, už dnes nejestvuje. Preto by azda najjednoduchšie poučenie z dejín mohlo znieť, že nič netrvá večne. V histórii však hľadáme aj poučenie a proces úpadku kedysi mocných ríš ponúka príťažlivý námet na úvahy. Aké príčiny, faktory a okolnosti sa rozhodujúcim spôsobom podieľali na rozklade a definitívnom zániku rozľahlých ríš? Dokážeme si jednotlivé príklady zo vzdialenejšej či blízkej minulosti racionalizovať a vyvodiť z nich konkrétne závery? A je vôbec možné zvrátiť proces úpadku a nastaviť spätný chod? Tieto či iné otázky fascinujú historikov, archeológov, politológov a ďalších spoločenských vedcov po celom svete. Knihy od takých autorov ako Jared Diamond, Nail Ferguson, ale aj Arnold Toynbee, ktorí sa vo väčšej či menšej miere uvedenej téme venujú či venovali, patria k najčítanejším a obraz úpadku či rovno nekontrolovaného pádu impéria je vďačnou témou aj v populárnej kultúre. Skrátka, skaza a zánik človeka nikdy neprestanú fascinovať. A rovnako fascinujúci pohľad na dejiny ľudstva ponúka aj nová kniha od vydavateľstva Premedia s titulom Pády impérií, ktorá na jednom mieste sústreďuje analýzy slovenských a českých vedcov o konkrétnych historických kapitolách od staroveku až po nedávnu minulosť. Jaro Valent z časopisu Historická revue sa rozprával so spoluautormi a editormi spomínanej knihy, historikmi Branislavom Kovárom z Archeologického ústavu SAV a s Jakubom Drábikom z Anglo-American University v Prahe. *Podporte podcast Dejiny v aplikácii Toldo na sme.sk/extradejiny. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠jaroslav.valent@petitpress.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/podcasty⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SME.sk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ s najdôležitejšími správami na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sme.sk/suhrnsme⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Dejiny.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's an enduring puzzle. For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors were nomadic, ranging over large territories, hunting and gathering for sustenance. Then, beginning roughly 12,000 years ago, we pivoted. Within a short timeframe—in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas—humans suddenly decided to settle down. We started to store our food. We domesticated plants. We set off, in other words, down a path that would reshape our cultures, our technologies, our social structures, even our minds. Yet no one has yet been able to account for this shift. No one has been able to fully explain why agriculture happened when it happened and where it happened. Unless, that is, someone just did.  My guest today is Dr. Andrea Matranga. Andrea is an economist at the University of Torino, in Italy, with a focus on economic history. In a new paper, he puts forward an ambitious, unifying theory of the rise of agriculture in our species. He argues that the key trigger was a spike in seasonality—with certain parts of the world, particularly parts of the northern hemisphere, suddenly experiencing warmer summers and colder winters. This led risk-averse humans in these places to start to store food and, eventually, to experiment with farming.    In this conversation, Andrea and I talk about how he developed his theory, in steps, over the course almost 20 years. We consider the weaknesses of earlier explanations of agriculture, including explanations that focused on climate. We discuss how he wrangled vast historical datasets to test his theory. And we talk about some of the downstream effects that agriculture seems to have had. Along the way we touch on: salmon, wheat, taro, and milk; agriculture as a franchise model; Milankovitch Cycles; risk-aversion and consumption-smoothing; interloping in the debates of other disciplines; the possibility of a fig-based civilization; and how we inevitably project our own concerns onto the past. Alright friends, I hope you enjoy this one. As I said at the top, the origins of agriculture is just one of those irresistible, perennial puzzles—one that cuts across the human sciences. And, I have to say, I find Andrea's solution to this puzzle quite compelling. I'll be curious to hear if you agree. Without further ado, on to my conversation with Andrea Matranga. Enjoy!   A transcript of this episode will be available soon.   Notes and links  8:00 – Various versions of the fable ‘The Ant and the Grasshopper' are compiled here. 13:00 – One of the last remaining ziggurat complexes is Chogha Zanbil. 16:00 – The classic paper by anthropologist Alain Testart on food storage among hunter-gatherers. 19:30 – An influential study emphasizing that agriculture occurred after the Ice Age due to warming conditions. Other studies have posited that other features of climate may have led to the rise in agriculture (e.g., here). 21:00 – An (illustrated) explanation of Milankovitch Cycles.   27:00 – For Marshal Sahlins' discussion of ‘The Original Affluent Society,' see here. 32:00 – Jared Diamond's popular article, ‘The Worse Mistake in the History of the Human Race.' 33:00 – A paper criticizing the particularistic focus of many archaeological treatments of the origins of agriculture.   36:30 – Dr. Matranga used a variety of data sources to test his theory, including a dataset compiling dates of agricultural adoption. 42:00 – A report detailing evidence of agriculture in Kuk swamp in New Guinea. 43:00 – The book Cuisine and Empire, by Rachel Laudan. 44:00 – A paper by Luigi Pascali and collaborators on the rise of states and the “appropriability” of cereals.  1:01:00 – A paper about the Natufian culture, which is considered to occupy and intermediate step on the road to agriculture.    Recommendations What We Did to Father (republished as The Evolution Man), by Roy Lewis The Living Fields, by Jack Harlan Kalahari Hunter-Gatherers, by Richard Lee and Irven Devore   Many Minds is a project of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute, which is made possible by a generous grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation to UCLA.
