Episode notes

Camp fires are comforting innately to us, even though fire is dangerous. Fire may have provided nexis in relaxation effects that could have enhanced pro social behavior. Research s found consistent blood pressure decreases in the fire with sound folks. And on my web site, i have linked a youtube that offers 12 hours of free yule log action.

Grab your fire extinguisher and hang on to your eyebrows, we’re building FIRES today. Now, this is pyrotechnology in the anthropological sense; the kind covered in hair metal concert venue liability insurance will have to wait for another day, no no, these are the kind your ancestors made. Get ready for sharp rocks, hairy jello, sooty caves, glowing coals, iron sparks, burnt feet, wolf skulls, fluffy fungus, molten metal, ember tending and more with Yale anthropologist and pyrotechnologist, Dr. Ellery Frahm.
