Nihal Athanika traveled with his girlfriend in Tanzania. They found a group of hunter-gatherers who still live the pre-neolithic lifestyle. Nihal says it was like a kid's dream to be able to go hunting and then cook an antelope. He kept this antelope horn as a memory of that strange meeting between him and these people.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Nihal is joined by writer, science populariser and theoretical, Carlo Rovelli.
He joins us to talk about the new English translation of his first book, Anaximander.
They all also discuss the singular genius of the philosophers of the past, the importance of questioning our reality, the significance of a typewriter in his writing career, and his admiration for the theoretical physicist John Wheeler.
