It Is Not the Strongest Who Survive: Lessons from a Bizarre Ant and the Neanderthals

from *“Yesterday, I Went to Mars ♡”* · host MakotowillOlympusMons

What's the true measure of strength? This week, we explore the idea that it's not about winning, but about surviving through adaptation. We draw lessons from a newly discovered ant with an unprecedented survival strategy, and from the latest research on why the physically strong Neanderthals disappeared from history. Join us for a calm look at why flexibility and cooperation, not just power, are the keys to resilience.
