Episode 55: Evolution: How Culture Made Us Human
/

Why do we have weak stomachs and big brains? How is our cognition different from chimpanzees? Join Ishita Ray and Joseph Shaules as they explore how culture has shaped genetic evolution. Millions of years ago, as culture became increasingly key to human survival, a chain reaction of culture-genetic evolution reshaped our body, brain and mind—culture made us human. Based on the work of evolutionary biologist Joseph Henrich.
