BC005: Dr. Scalise Sugiyama // human evolution

In this super informative episode, we get the pleasure of listening to Dr. Michelle Scalise Sugiyama, an evolutionary psychologist and anthropologist.

Her work specializes in symbolic and aesthetic behavior, with an emphasis on storytelling, art, and play.

We touch lightly on all parts of her work, as well as diving deep into what it means to be a human being, how our social and storytelling nature made us into what we are today, and the ramifications of our current technology on humanity (to name a few).

Tune in to hear what all of this means for us and our species.
