This week, Ashto and Jonesy investigate the tension between our evolutionary history and modern problems and how we can resolve this issue. Although we live through the most flourishing age in human history, we are lifeless and divided. In A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein pinpoint the accelerating rate of change in the modern world as the leading cause that overtakes our brain capacity and the body’s ability to adapt.

Our current world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies, which is causing detrimental effects on our lives. How do we live in a society that’s not built to help us thrive? In this book, Heying and Weinstein refer to their decades of work exploring earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems to challenge today’s social concerns. This book reveals a science-based perspective you can follow to improve your quality of life.
