episode 11: the bare boners of evolution

Believe it or not, most of what you’re told about human evolution, love, and sex are little more than guesswork and just-so stories.

Most of us have been taught that humans evolved somewhere in Africa and migrated throughout the world. That's a drastic oversimplification. Our species evolved in North Africa roughly 300,000 years ago and was one of at least 23 other hominids across the planet. And the same goes for most of the theories you heard about the differences between male and female brains, the evolution of gender norms, penis size, the role breasts play in sexual selection, and a great deal of evolutionary psychology. Join Alex and Ellie in exploring the many questions about how we evolved and why we look, love, think, and reproduce the way we do.
