I had the pleasure of speaking to Lewis about his latest book titled: BEING HUMAN: How our Biology shaped World History
Some of the topics we discussed includes:
- The process of deciding which topics Lewis wanted to focus on in each chapter.
- Family: How did we through evolution come up with 'pair bonding' and what did it help solve?
- Endemic diseases & Pandemic diseases - and the link between how some of them has has changed the world
- Exploring the argument that agriculture is 'the worst mistake in human history'
- Cognitive biases and why being aware of them alone, still doesn't allow us to stop them.
The Book and Audiobook: BEING HUMAN: How our Biology shaped World History
is out now.
