Free Chinese History Lesson in the Podcast

The idea that cavemen are just grunting apes is just not remotely correct. They were probably smarter than most of our farmer ancestors, whose growth was stunted by a grain-based agriculture diet. That's the reason why the Mongols took China, because they all ate meat and milk and blood. So I think this brings up an important point: We don't live in ancestral hunter-gatherer civilization anymore. Like there has been a big shift in thinking in my evolutionary psychology field where like 15 years ago we would have said there's no significant genetically or psychologically differences between humans and other primates.
