The iPhone Baby Bust, Humanity’s First Words, and Why Money Can Buy Happiness

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a new paper suggesting that the iPhone may have played a surprising role in lowering birth rates around the world. Then we explored one of humanity’s biggest unanswered questions: where language came from, and the fascinating theories scientists have developed to explain its origins. Today’s unpopular opinion was: money can buy happiness. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something money can't buy.
