Ep. 673: Christopher Ryan Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Christopher Ryan, best known for co-authoring "Sex at Dawn." The book deals with the evolution of monogamy in humans and human mating systems. In opposition to what the authors see as the "standard narrative" of human sexual evolution, they contend that having multiple sexual partners was common and accepted in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness. One of the more pivotal moments was when he was an undergraduate in college. He was able to skip his junior year of college and subsequently hitchhiked to Alaska. Before that journey to Alaska, he thought the world was a dangerous place. Once he got outside his bubble and met strangers, he learned how kind and generous people were. It shifted the way he thought about life and the world. The topic is his book Sex at Dawn. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Monogamy Hunter and gatherer society Agricultural revolution Culture of women sexuality Sexual transmitted disease War on masturbation Social groups Jump in! --- I'm MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I'm proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.
