Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Wrangham

Today on Upstream, Erik Torenberg interviews author Rob Henderson about modern romance, discussing evolutionary psychology, the attraction to dark triad men, dating apps, and practical advice for men seeking romantic partners. —

Hi friends, We're taking care of some spring cleaning this week. We'll be back in two weeks with a new episode. In the meantime, enjoy this favorite from our archives! - The Many Minds team ––––––––– [originally aired February 22, 2024] Brains are not cheap. It takes a lot of calories to run a brain, and the bigger your brain, the more calories it takes. So how is it that, over the last couple million years, the human brain tripled in size. How could we possibly have afforded that? Where did the extra calories come from? There's no shortage of suggestions out there. Some say it was meat; others say it was tubers; many say it was by mastering fire and learning to cook. But now there's a newer proposal on the table and—spoiler—it's a bit funky. My guests today are Katherine Bryant, Postdoctoral Fellow at Aix-Marseille University, and Erin Hecht, Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard. Katherine, Erin, and another colleague are the authors of a new paper titled 'Fermentation technology as a driver of human brain expansion.' In it, they argue that fermented foods could have provided the caloric boost that allowed our brains to expand. Here, we talk about how the human body differs from the bodies of other great apes, not just in terms of our brains but also in terms of our bowels. We discuss the different mechanisms by which fermented foods provide nutritional benefits over unfermented foods. We consider how fermentation—which basically happens whether you want it to or not—would have been cognitively easier to harness than fire. Along the way, we touch on kiviaq, chicha, makgeolli, hákarl, natto, Limburger cheese, salt-rising bread, and other arguably delectable products of fermentation.  This is a fun one friends. But before we get to it: a friendly reminder about this summer's Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute. This a yearly event in St Andrews, Scotland; it features a rich program of lectures and events devoted to the study of cognition, mind, and intelligence in all its forms. If you have a taste for cross-disciplinary ferment and bubbly conversation, DISI may be for you. The application window is now open but is closing soon. You can find more info at DISI.org. That's D-I-S-I.org. Alright, friends, on to my conversation with Erin Hecht and Katherine Bryant.

This episode is a special one as I got to interview a personal scientific hero of mine, and fellow great ape researcher, Dr. Richard Wrangham. He shares his findings and heartwarming stories of some of the chimpanzees he's gotten to know over the years. He's also a prolific write and champion of chimps and communities. Check out the links below to find out more about the important work he and his colleagues are doing in Uganda.  Richard Wrangham  Great Apes Survival Partnership (GRASP) https://kasiisiproject.org/

"Dinner's ready!" Do you recognise that familiar call for everyone to gather round the table and tuck in? Whether it's a takeaway with friends or a family get-together during holiday seasons, humans have been eating together for thousands of years. But why? “晚饭准备好了！” 您是否记得那个熟悉的号召大家围坐在桌子旁吃饭？无论是与朋友的外卖还是节日期间的家庭聚会，人类一起吃饭的历史已有数千年之久。但为什么？ The discovery of fire may have kickstarted communal eating for our hunter-gatherer ancestors, according to primatologist Richard Wrangham. Cooking a meal all those years ago required a social group – you needed someone to hunt the food, someone to protect the food from thieves or predators, and of course, someone to cook. And once enjoying the feast, evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar speculates that the fire's bright light may have given the humans longer nights and provided great opportunities for bonding over food. 灵长类动物学家理查德·兰厄姆表示，火的发现可能开启了我们以狩猎采集为生的祖先的集体饮食。多年前，做饭需要一个社会团体——你需要有人来寻找食物，有人来保护食物免遭小偷或掠夺者的侵害，当然，还需要有人来做饭。进化心理学家罗宾·邓巴（Robin Dunbar）在享用完这场盛宴后推测，火的明亮光芒可能让人类拥有了更长的夜晚，并为通过食物建立联系提供了绝佳的机会。 But modern humans don't face the same threats as we used to – we can cook and eat a meal by ourselves. So why should we still make group meals a ritual? In Dunbar's 2017 study 'Breaking Bread: the Functions of Social Eating', they found communal eating increased feelings of wellbeing and connectedness with the community. Despite this, the study found a third of weekday evening meals in the UK are eaten in isolation – the main cause being busy work schedules. 但现代人类不再像以前那样面临同样的威胁——我们可以自己做饭、吃饭。那么为什么我们还要把集体聚餐变成一种仪式呢？在 Dunbar 2017 年的研究“Breaking Bread：社交饮食的功能”中，他们发现集体饮食可以增加幸福感以及与社区的联系。尽管如此，研究发现英国工作日晚餐的三分之一是单独吃的——主要原因是繁忙的工作日程。 Today's reality is that having meals together can be difficult. Time management, fussy eaters, and family tensions are all things that can get in the way. But, in an article about overthinking family meals, Susannah Ayre and colleagues write 'Five tips to ease the pressure', including dropping the need for perfection. "There is no shame in reheating a frozen meal" or "eating on a picnic rug in the living room". 今天的现实是一起吃饭可能很困难。时间管理、挑食和家庭关系紧张等因素都可能成为阻碍。但是，在一篇关于过度考虑家庭膳食的文章中，苏珊娜·艾尔和同事写了“缓解压力的五个技巧”，其中包括放弃对完美的需求。“重新加热冷冻食品”或“在客厅的野餐地毯上吃东西”并不丢脸。 Sharing meals may look different today than it did for our ancestors, but the essence stays the same: food is more than just fuel. It can be a way to connect, share stories and strengthen bonds. 今天的分享膳食可能看起来与我们祖先的情况有所不同，但本质是一样的：食物不仅仅是燃料。它可以成为联系、分享故事和加强联系的一种方式。 词汇表gather round 聚到一起tuck in 痛快地吃takeaway 外卖get-together 团聚，聚会communal 群体的，集体的hunter-gatherer 狩猎采集者feast 盛宴bond 建立纽带ritual 仪式wellbeing 身心健康connectedness 连结性，联系感isolation 独立，孤立fussy 挑剔的，难以取悦的tension 矛盾，紧张的关系reheat 再次加热picnic 野餐

Our ancestors did not wage war. Warfare emerged only when humans started settling down and storing food. Indeed, some modern hunter-gatherers still enjoy the peaceful existence that once was the natural state of our species. Or so argued Douglas P. Fry, my guest in episode 8. I found many of his arguments convincing. For example, ancient cave art is surprisingly void of depictions of warfare. You can hear many more of his arguments in that episode, titled "Is War Natural For Humans?" But not all scholars agree. Far from it. And I owe a voice to the other side of the debate. So here is an episode with one of the most thoughtful voices arguing for a deeper origins of war. Luke Glowacki is a professor of anthropology at Boston University, where teaches courses on the evolution of war. And he believes that war has very ancient origins, indeed. We had a very stimulating conversation, discussing topics such as: (03:00) The debate: What can we all agree on? And what are the disagreements? (12:10) Hunter-gatherers: Are they peaceful? And are they any good as models of the past? (25:55) Archaeology: Cave paintings and broken bones (34:55) Primatology: Chimpanzees and bonobos (46:40) Implications: What can we learn from all this? As always, we finish with my guest's reflections on humanity. LINKS Head here for links to relevant academic articles -- and the video of the chimpanzee raid!

How much should we really value altruism?Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesFrom charity-givers, to those who sacrifice themselves in war for others, we see altrusim and selflessness as virtues to be applauded. Those who take no heed of their own interests are highly praised in Western culture. But many point to a danger. Studies show that altruism gone awry leads to tolerating abusive partners, eating disorders and depression. And critics argue that some of history's most horrific episodes rose from appeals to altruistic tendencies. Forced sterlizations in the West were justified as "better for all the world". Should we see unhampered altruism not only as futile, but actively dangerous? Join Professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University, Carol Gilligan, feminist icon and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Lodz, Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, and Research Professor of Biological Anthropology at Harvard University, Richard Wrangham as they debate the dangers of altruism.

We expect a lot from parents, especially from mothers. “Maternal instincts” are such, we are told, that mothers should gain almost literal superpowers from the joy of parenting.  Unfortunately, many parents face a different reality. Having children can be one of the most stressful times of life, amplified by feelings of guilt and inadequacy.  Why is this? Is this an inevitable part of the human condition? Or is the fault in our modern society? And how would we know the answer?  To address these questions, anthropologists have started comparing family lives in industrial societies with those of the last remaining hunter-gatherers.  Nikhil Chaudhary is one such anthropologist. A researcher at the University of Cambridge, he recently co-authored a remarkable paper on what we have learned about the family lives of hunter-gatherers. I invited him on the show to discuss the findings and their implications. So what is family life like amongst hunter-gatherers? Chaudhary's research paints a fascinating picture. Indeed, industrial societies can learn a lot from them. But not everything is easy for them, either. In addition to parenting, our conversation touched upon themes from monogamy and polyamory to parental grief, health spending, and the stark contrast between human and chimpanzee mothers.

Can humans ever be inherently good or evil?Looking for a link we mentioned? Find it here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWhether we see humans as essentially good or essentially selfish and violent has been central to our politics, our account of society, and our vision for social progress. But is this very distinction itself a mistake? Recently, Harvard scientists have shown humans to be both the kindest and most malevolent species on the planet. While figures like Hitler and Stalin though responsible for tens of millions of deaths were also remarkably empathetic in aspects of their private lives.Should we give up the idea therefore that humans are either inherently good or bad and conclude that all of us are both at the same time with potentially profound consequences for our political beliefs? Or is it vital to retain the distinction to alert us to danger and to drive personal and social change? Or more profoundly, are the categories of good and bad themselves the underlying error and unhelpful, and even dangerous, ways of categorising human behaviour? Anthropologist and Harvard University Professor Richard Wrangham, renowened philosopher and cultural critic Slavoj Žižek, University of Hertfordshire professor Maria Balaska and the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams join Myriam François to discuss the nature of good and evil.There are thousands of big ideas to discover at IAI.tv – videos, articles, and courses waiting for you to explore.

Let's talk about hormones. Hormones are so much more than time packages that influence the major events in our lives. We are still learning about some of these major events though in ourselves and other animals. Just a few months again scientists confirmed that chimpanzees go through menopause Here is the NY Times article about the discovery. I was also keen to see the study on chimpanzees since it was research conducted in Kibale National Park in Uganda. Now I want to know if mountain gorillas go through menopause, I have been to Kibale many times and have followed research by John Mitani, David Watts, and Richard Wrangham for quite a long time. Here is a link to the original research article. In this episode I mention a video I made with a friend and colleague called “Rejecting the Biological Binary". You can check that out here on my Youtube channel Wild Connection TV This week's guest is Randi Hutter Epstein, MD. Shes a writer in residence at Yale School of Medicine and teaches both at Yale University and Columbia's School of Journalism. Today, she is filling us in on all the weird and wonderful things that hormones control by talking about her book Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything. They even, well, make you you, mostly, kind of.

How natural is a sexual division of labour? Very natural, claims a popular theory. Indeed, it was the secret to our success: men evolved to hunt, women to forage. This allowed women to focus on childcare while staying economically productive; after all, one can gather food with children. Men, on the other hand, could focus on high-risk hunting. At the end of the day, everyone could have steak and veggies for dinner. But why exactly do we say this? Is this based on solid evidence? Or are we simply projecting our gender roles onto the human past? A recent piece in Scientific American argued that this theory is outdated and should be "buried for good". As you might imagine, some heated discussion ensued. This is understandable. But I felt that much of the science was lost under the storm. To clean things up, I invited one of the authors, Cara Ocobock, to discuss the paper on the show. I hope this can clarify the argument. It might even clear some of the unnecessary controversy. At the very least, this was a very stimulating discussion! I learned a lot of things, from the remarkable lifestyle of female Neanderthals to how oestrogen helps in muscle recovery.  I hope you enjoy the conversation!

(8:00) Bill shares his background growing up and how he transitioned into his current lifestyle. He was a heavy kid who got picked on a lot. He later became an athlete but had an unhealthy relationship with food. As he got older he became aware of the link between hunting and his background in archeology. Vinnie shares his relationship with food sources from living in a rural area and fishing and hunting. (12:45) He asks Bill about the current state of Western society's relationship with where their food comes from. (16:45) Bill emphasizes that he does not enjoy killing an animal; however, he feels a certain responsibility using the animal, nose-to-tail. (19:00) Vinnie shares a similar story about pheasant hunting in the UK. Bill goes through the ancestral origins of tools, hunting, and the evolution of our ancestors. (28:00) Bill shares knowledge about how our ancestors created tools, which may be better understood by viewing the episode video. FIRE AS A TOOL Vinnie asks about fire and the human diet. (46:00) Bill refers to Richard Wrangham, who wrote "". Vinnie shares input on fire and the varieties of ways we use it, such as engines. (57:00) Bill states how the disconnect in society is real and how it affects several things about human diet and habits. (1:00:00) How standing upright and creating shoes affected the species. The Industrial Revolution also added to the disconnect. To “eat like a human”, what do you do? (1:05:00) You need to know not only what to eat, but how, to get optimal nutrition. Animal fat has been in our diets for 3 million years. Bill is going to return for Part 2 to answer more questions. They discuss Sardinia and the longevity of the inhabitants and their lifestyle.

What would a Neanderthal think about our species? What about a chimpanzee? When compared to our cousins, how friendly or violent are we? Richard Wrangham is a chimpanzee expert and professor of human biology at Harvard. He is one of the most important evolutionary anthropologists alive and truly one of the dream guests for this podcast. It was a great honour to have him on the show. We discuss topics such as: What makes studying chimpanzees interesting Why you could not put 100 chimps on a plane (and not see a fight) What about bonobos? The goodness paradox: or why Wrangham thinks that humans are both a remarkably friendly and a relatively violent ape. Are humans a child-like ape? Why human skulls resemble dogs, not wolves What five decades of research have taught Wrangham about humans Mentioned scholars Jane Goodall / Takayoshi Kano / Martin Surbeck / Michael Wilson / Kim Hill / Victoria Burbank / Brian Hare / Dimitri Belyaev / Lyudmila Trut / Adam Wilkins / Tecumseh Fitch / Stephen Jay Gould / Michael Tomasello / Christopher Boehm / Douglas P.

Violence and virtue. The Goodness Paradox. Why are humans capable of being the nicest, but also the nastiest, of all species?Join host Dr. Michael Gervais as he sits down with Richard Wrangham, biological anthropologist and author of "The Goodness Paradox," to discuss the intricate relationship between violence and virtues, and how understanding this connection can lead to a more compassionate and just society. Dr. Wrangham shares his research on the evolution of human behavior, challenging common assumptions about our species and shedding light on the complex interplay between our inherent tendencies towards aggression and our capacity for empathy and altruism.Richard's research has fundamentally changed our understanding of human evolution & behavior, and it was great to learn from him in this conversation.You might wonder how a talk about humanity's virtue and violence is relevant to thinking about human performance. Understanding humanity's roots is fundamental to better understanding how we can reach our potential. There are major forces that guide our daily decisions and actions. Some of them come from our culture, our families, or our friends. Some of them are biological or for the purposes of this conversation – evolutionary.Understanding the stuff that makes us is key to better understanding our own potential, the potential of those around us, and perhaps even the potential for humankind. This was a really interesting conversation that took us places I didn't think we'd go.

Dr Richard Wrangham is an anthropologist and primatologist, a Professor of Biological Anthropology at Harvard University and an author whose research focuses on ape behaviour, human evolution, violence, and cooking. Humans have the capacity for incredible benevolence and kindness, but also are able to be execute other members of our species with a uniquely effective ruthlessness. Why would evolution give us such differing capacities to chimps and apes and what can this tell us about our nature? Expect to learn the fascinating evolutionary story of human aggression through the ages, how humans actually selectively bred ourselves to become less aggressive, how our capacity for violence informed the evolution of morality, the true reason for why humans might have a sense of right and wrong, what would have happened to a hyper aggressive male ancestrally and much more...

Lexman interviews Richard Wrangham about a recent article he wrote about bequests and how they are a form of spontoon or bad communication.

Not sure about you, but it seems like I spend most of my time in the future. We're told to live in the present, of course—and I try. But at any opportunity my mind just races ahead, like an eager puppy. I'm planning my next meal, dwelling on that looming deadline, imagining the possibilities that lie ahead. In one sense, all this time spent puttering around tomorrow-land is kind of regrettable. But in another sense it's really quite extraordinary. When we think ahead, when we cast our thoughts into the future, we're exercising an ability that some consider uniquely human.  My guest today is Dr. Adam Bulley. Adam is a psychologist and Postdoctoral Fellow affiliated with the University of Sydney and Harvard. Along with his co-authors Thomas Suddendorf & Jonathan Redshaw, Adam recently published a book titled, The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight. In this conversation, Adam and I talk about two constructs central to the book—"mental time travel" and foresight. We discuss how these constructs relate to memory and to imagination. We dig into the question of whether our abilities to think ahead are really uniquely human. We review the archeological evidence for the emergence of foresight in our species' evolution. And we also touch on—among other topics and tidbits— hoarding behavior in squirrels, tool use in chimpanzees, the Bischof-Köhler hypothesis, the control of fire, Incan quipus, hand axes, and longtermism. Foresight is one of those especially tentacly topics. It connects to so many different other abilities and to so many questions about minds, culture, evolution. Both in the book and here in this conversation, Adam proves to be quite a skilled guide to all these connections.  There's also something else notable about Adam: he's an alum of the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI). In fact, he was a participant in the first iteration of the program, back in 2018. So if you too aspire to do cool research, write cool books, and be interviewed on the coolest podcasts around, you might consider applying. Just note that review of applications begins soon: Feb 13.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality Join me at Yale for my 45th class reunion as I frolic among the Ivy Towers with Capt'n Max and the Eli Elite, Handsome Dan XIV, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's classmates (Class of 1987) rallying against him and Sam Alito (Yale Law, 1975) at the Women's Table, and my fabulous fellow #Yale Alumni at the Yale Repertory Theater, Yale Law School, Cross Campus, Toad's Place and more. I also host a Yale Roundtable discussion on “Peace, Love & Bonobos" which is the centerpiece of this video. Discussion Topics:  • Why we prefer King Arthur's ROUNDtable to Putin's long table;  • Why Yale's “Killer Ape” Anthropology department made we want to major in Theater;  • How Max and I fell in love over our mutual opposition to the popular and horrible first Gulf War, commanded by President George H.W. Bush (Yale, 1948);  • How our love and antiwar fervor grew during the even more horrible wars in Iraq and Afghanistan commanded by George W. Bush (Yale, 1968);  • How George W. Bush's epic Freudian slip confusing Putin's invasion of Ukraine with his own invasion of Iraq brought the perma-war full circle; • Why I become a sexologist;  • How I first learned about #bonobos the Make Love Not War great apes, on PBS, and then met some at the San Diego Zoo;  • What are some of the differences between apes and monkeys; • How human apes are very close genetically to bonobos, common chimps, gorillas and orangutans; • How bonobos make peace through pleasure; • How bonobos make love in a Bonobo Sutra of positions, including face-to-face;  • How bonobo female empowerment is supported by male well-being and vice versa;  • Why bonobos (and humans) really enjoy sharing—even with strangers; • Was Prince Chim, who lived at Yale in the Dr. Robert Yerkes primate center, the first bonobo in the United States? • What's SEX got to do with bonobo conflict resolution? • Why other apes kill each other, and humans kill each other most; • “Grooming” in primatology vs. the culture wars;  • Why bonobo female orgasm is most common during Hoka Hoka, aka genito-genital rubbing;  • Intercourse vs. Outercourse among bonobos and humans;  • Our competitive “inner chimp” vs. our cooperative “inner bonobo”; • Nature vs. Nurture and how a bunch of baboons went bonobos;  • Primatologists Dr. Frans de Waal, Dr. Richard Wrangham, Dr. Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods on bonobos and Dr. Robert Sapolsky on baboons;  • Food-sharing and “sex work” among bonobos; • Tool use and communication among bonobos and common chimps; • The benefits and drawbacks of Zoos;  • The Lysistrata method vs. the Bonobo Way; • Yale's Puritan origins; • Sex toys, sex education and the Religious Right; • The true story of the rise & fall of Sex Week at Yale (SWAY), created by Yale students and destroyed by false accusations from well-financed Christofascist forces, including Focus on the Family, and an ex-Yale President's desire for a scapegoat for the unrelated-to-SWAY bad behavior of powerful Yale fraternities;  • Why anti-abortion laws amount to forced breeding;  • Why I'm against all wars of my lifetime, from America's War in Vietnam, that I protested pre-Yale, to our current war in Ukraine. Yes, Putin started it, just as Bush invaded Iraq, but we (and NATO) continue it, and now is time for peace negotiations;  • Why bonobos should be part of Peace Studies courses at Yale and other universities; • How our ammosexual society channels our natural sex drive into violence to the benefit of the weapons industry, the military, the prison system and the police; • “Make Kink Not War: Be Bonobo” and the Bonobo Way makes its way from our Bonoboville Reunion with Vice to DomCon 2022 to Yale;  • How to avoid catching COVID at all these reunions; • How New Haven humidity messes with my hair; • Why bonobos are highly endangered and how we can help save them from extinction (so they can help us save ourselves!): Donate to Lola ya Bonobo, Friends of Bonobos, the Bonobo Conservation Initiative. • #GoBonobos for Bulldogs… Boola Boola! • Music: Yale Harkness Tower Bells; The Whiffenpoofs (Yale, 1977); Dr. Oscar Hills (Yale, 1977) on Banjo; Bales-Gitlin Band (Ginny Bales and Jay Gitlin) - “Disco Inferno” & “Johnny B. Goode” Read more prose & see the photos: https://drsusanblock.com/yale-2022  Need to talk PRIVATELY? Experience #PhoneSexTherapy.

Richard Wrangham is a primatologist, author, and activist who has dedicated his life to studying the behavior of chimpanzees. In this episode of the Lexman Artificial Podcast, Lexman interviews Richard Wrangham about his book Auberon: The Life and Times of a Savage Ape.

Mas, afinal, por que razão coopera o ser humano?Que razões fomentam a cooperação?Existem diferenças entre culturas?Que se altera quando a cooperação é consciente?O que leva o ser humano a ser altruísta, ou seja, a ajudar alguém que nem conhece, sem qualquer benefício?Será que a reputação afecta a nossa forma de ser cooperantes ou altruístas?Se no episódio anterior ficou à espera ‘das cenas dos próximos capítulos', acredite que, com esta Parte II, vai ficar a querer saber ainda mais.

Episode 45 Hvem er bange for feminisme?Vi bør alle være feminister - men sådan er det som bekendt langt fra. Kvinde kan være kvinde værst, og mænd står tit efterladte tilbage på perronen og fatter hat. Men fordi der er stærke kræfter i samfundet i denne tid, der kræver menneske-ligeværd, tager Livstykker fat på emnet. Med alt fra voldelig tankegang, evolutionære bagage, en rædselsfuldt mandsdomineret Bibel og kunsten at kunne tage selvstændigt stilling. Vi er blinde for den patriarkalske struktur, fordi den har været der al tid, det er udfordringen.Men hvorfor ser nogle mennesker rødt, når de hører ordet feminisme?Hvordan kan det være, at Liselotte ser sine seks sønner som gode feminister?Hvorfor har Kirsten nægtet at se de misforhold i øjnene, som et mandsdomineret kulturelt system fostrer?I episoden debatterer podcastværterne Maren Uthaugs nye fremtidsbog "11 pct." og dribler videre med den tankegang, hun lægger for dagen, hvor mandlige væsener mindskes i antal - til 11 pct. - og uskadeliggøres i avlscentre, fordi de gør mere skade end gavn. https://www.bog-ide.dk/produkt/3966322/maren-uthaug-11-indbundet/3038829?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvZCZBhCiARIsAPXbajtz8EQ4UGbY26boXPGSl3rSe8bNcBXZs_yAle7LMQ6nP0ivmoJYPtwaAjznEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.dsVærterne runder den tyske bog "Wer hat angst vorm Feminismus?

Lexman interviews Richard Wrangham, an evolutionary biologist and author of the new book "Masa: The Surprising Story of a Hungry Planet". They discuss the rise of cereal production, and how developing new gluten-free varieties of masa has helped to save many cultures from starvation.

Richard Wrangham is an archaeologist who has conducted research on human evolution and the cultural impact of animal skulls. He tells Lexman about the significance of tutus and rhesuses in human culture.

Richard Wrangham, author of "Sickness Unto Death: The Decline and Fall of the Sick Man's Continent," joins Lexman to discuss the history and meaning of sickness.

Richard Wrangham, a renowned expert on human evolution and human societies, shares his thoughts on the possible origins of human orgasms. He argues that they may have emerged as a way of reinforcing social bonds between individuals in cooperative societies.

Kachinas are often depicted as bizarre creatures with exaggerated features and strange attire. University of Nevada anthropologist Richard Wrangham delves into the origins of these ritual actors and asks what physical and cognitive benefits the human elite might gain from augmentation with kachina features.

The proprietors of Lucky's Fire & Smoke, Lafayette's newest restaurant, discuss their unique cuisine which features farm-direct American Wagyu beef, poultry, locally sourced seafood, and plant-based offerings. Acclaimed chef and author, Jimmy Schmidt, a three-time winner of the James Beard award who created this fine-dining concept along with Lucky's co-owner, Eddie Khoury, a restauranteur of 30 years who brought this unique restaurant to Lafayette, join our discussion. Over the years, Chef Jimmy Schmidt's culinary accomplishments have been consistently recognized. He has been named on the Food & Wine Magazine Honor Roll of American Chefs,  Cooks Magazine Who's Who of Cooking in America, Gourmet Magazine America's Best Restaurants, USA Today's 10 Best Destinations in Southern California and awarded a 5 Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. And yes, he has served as guest chef judge on Top Chef. Jimmy has also published many cookbooks and contributed to Bon Appetit, Cuisine, Gourmet, Food & Wine. In 2018, Jimmy Schmidt and his team created a new way to enjoy the wonderful flavors of American BBQ with Lucky's Noble Fire & Smoke. When his longtime friend and colleague, Eddie Khoury, realized the unique concept of Lucky's, he convinced Jimmy to help him bring it to the Lafayette market; Lucky's is the first of its kind to open in the U. S. Lucky's Fire & Smoke is located at 6774 Johnston Street, Lafayette LA 70503. It offers a Saturday and Sunday Brunch from 10 am to 3 pm, and is open Tuesday through Saturday 5 to 10 pm, and Sunday, 5 to 9 pm. Visit https://luckyslafayette.com for more information. The featured photo is Lucky's stuffed Deviled Egg dish featuring Wagyu beef bacon on top. Lucky's Lafayette location is the first to open in the U. S. Jimmy grew up in Champagne, Illinois, working on the family farm as a kid, which influenced his appreciation of whole foods and nature, something he only came to realize as an adult. His cooking skills are deeply based on science and influenced by his background in engineering, as his focus is not only on taste but nutrition, extracting the maximum health benefits from each meal prepared. While in college, Jimmy studied electrical engineering at the University of Illinois and went to France to earn language credits where he took cooking classes for entertainment. While there, he fell in love with food and wine and studied under Madeleine Kamman. He earned a culinary degree from Luberon College and the French Institut Technique du Vin diploma from Maison du Vin in Avignon. Jimmy followed Madeleine to Boston where he worked for her in the restaurant business for a number of years; he graduated magna cum laude and first in class with a Professional Chef's diploma from Modern Gourmet. He pursued higher education at Harvard University Graduate School of Business from 1999 through 2001. Madeleine generously shared with Jimmy not only what food was, but the recipes and the chemistry behind great cuisine. Jimmy says, "It lit a fire under me to always reach out to learn more." He's always focused on the science behind cooking and creating great dishes. Chef Jimmy Schmidt's whole focus is on the science behind the preparation of foods. "You instinctually crave foods in season. They'll all have the highest amount of nutrition and flavor right off the tree and plant. As a chef that focuses on developing flavors, hand in hand with fresh foods comes great nutrition. I ask how can I make this taste better. My scientific research is to understand how things taste better and how can I use culinary techniques to accentuate flavor while also releasing bioactive ingredients that are nutritionally based so that diners can absorb bioflavonoids in their body to benefit from the meal?" The name, "Lucky's Fire & Smoke," was inspired by the book "Catching Fire - How Cooking Made Us Human," written by Richard Wrangham.

ive always been interested in the history and biology of human muscle, and in recent years ive learned about some truly strange cases of petrifiactions. for example, there's the Macedonian case of a woman who was turned into a statue of roses by her husband, or the case of a Buddhist monk in Tibet who was buried alive and then emerged as a living statue. in this episode, lexman interviews richard wrangham, author of "the hot zone: animal life and human evolution in the twenty-first century" about why these cases fascinate him, and what they tell us about human civilizations.

In this episode, Richard Wrangham discusses the theory of human evolution with Lexman Artificial's host, Matt. They discuss the possibility that human ancestors were once susceptible to a parasitic worm known as the tipperary worm. The theory has generated a lot of controversy, but Matt and Richard are not afraid to talk about it.

Richard Wrangham discusses his new book, The Intelligence of Human Ancestors, and how the comparative study of human and otherisogeothermic species is revealing new insights about the evolution of intelligence.

This conversation was recorded on September 1, 2021. I spoke to Richard Wrangham about his research on ape behavior. We explored prerequisites for chimp attacks, how cooking shaped human cognitive development, studying chimps in the wild with Jane Goodall, DNA similarity studies, proactive vs. reactive aggression, and more. Richard is a biological anthropologist at Harvard, specializing in the study of primates and the evolution of violence, sex, cooking, and culture.

Were we formed by fire? Celebrating World Chimpanzee Day, July 14th, we gather around the evolutionary fireplace with Dr. Richard Wrangham, professor of anthropology and primatology at Harvard University for a conversation about the rise of cooking and our closest cousins - chimpanzees. Take a listen to this fascinating conversation about how the food that went into cooking pots of old made some lasting impact on our brains and who we are today. Talking Apes is the podcast that gets to the very heart of what is happening with and to apes like us. We explore the world of apes and primates with experts, conservationists, and passionate primate people from around the world. Join us as we unpack their weird and wonderful lives piece by piece.Talking Apes is made possible through generous support from listeners to nonprofit GLOBIO.org. Support the show (https://globio.org/donate)

How can the distinct habits of chimps and bonobos inform us about human evolution and behavior?Today we speak with Richard Wrangham, a research professor in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard. For more than three decades, the English anthropologist, primatologist, and author has studied primate behavior as it relates to human social behavior, evolution, and warfare. Richard Wrangham is also the founder of the Kibale Chimpanzee Project. In this episode, we'll hear more from Richard about the difference between chimpanzees and bonobos and how each species can help us understand human nature. We'll also learn more about the domestication of animals and how violence is a commonality across species.Episode Quotes:On how Bonobos are different from Chimpanzees:“It's a society in which the males have been trained to not try and take liberties with the females. And so important is the dominance of the females that if you look at which males achieve dominance among other males, it is almost always a male who's got a living mother, who herself is pretty dominant. And because she helps him in his interactions against all the males, that help is really vital.”On the role of fire in human development:“Fire was the thing that changed us from an Australopithecine into Homo. It changed us from being an ape into a very early kind of human. It gave us our anatomy, it gave us our digestive system, it gave us a way to [...] do other things with our time, spend more time making tools or exploring the environment, hunting[...] So, fire made us Homo and then I think that language made us sapiens.”On the fossil record of domestication:“When we go back in time and see, as we do our ancestors with increasingly broad faces, as they go back, we can be rather confident in reconstructing that they were increasingly aggressive, reactively, aggressive, go back. So you've got those icon anatomical changes. You've also got genetic changes.”Show Links:Faculty ProfileKibale Chimpanzee ProjectOrder Book: Goodness ParadoxOrder Book: Catching FireOrder Book: Demonic Males

The connection between humans and fire goes back millions of years. What started with campfires and cooking grew into a burning addiction that catalyzed the Industrial Revolution and now shapes nearly every aspect of our society. Now, our ongoing reliance on fire in its many forms is changing the climate with explosive consequences for wildfires — and much more.   Richard Wrangham is emeritus professor at Harvard University and the author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human Jennifer Balch is a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the director of the Earth Lab at the University. Cathy Whitlock is a regents professor at Montana State University, and the director of the MSU Paleoecology Lab.
