A Hunter Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century : Evolution and the Challenges of Modern Life
by Bret Weinstein , Heather Heying
A bold, provocative exploration of the tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes - and what we can do about it.
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicides, loneliness and chronic illness continue to skyrocket.
How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond?
For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our woes is clear: the modern world is out of sync woth our ancient brains and bodies. Drawing on decades of work teaching in college classrooms and exploring earth's most biodiverse ecosystems, A Hunter-Gather's Guide to the 21st century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live better, wiser life.
