Overview
Ā
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 suicide, loneĀliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond?
Ā
For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the acceleratĀing rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. We evolved to live in clans, but today many people donāt even know their neighborsā names. In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sexāand its ancient roots. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we are not built for is killing us.

In this book, Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and explorĀing Earthās most biodiverse ecosystems to confront todayās pressing social illsāfrom widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and backĀward education practices. Asking the questions many modĀern people are afraid to ask, A Hunter-Gathererās Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life.
