Mark Dyble

Mark Dyble, an Assistant Professor of evolutionary anthropology at the University of Cambridge, dives into the intriguing evolution of leisure time from hunter-gatherer societies to modern life. He discusses how our ancestors likely enjoyed more free time compared to today's work-centric culture and examines the shift to farming, which dramatically reduced leisure hours. Dyble also shares insights from his research on the Akta foragers in the Philippines and the ecological implications of time management, offering a fresh perspective on human behavior and social dynamics.
