Dr. Mark Changizi reveals surprising truths about human biology, language, and culture. In this interview, he challenges the notion of human exceptionalism, arguing for a “zoo-centric” view where we are quantitatively smarter apes, but still fundamentally driven by instincts. Discover how natural selection explains design in the biological world and why our fingers get pruny in water. Changizi also breaks down how cultural evolution has shaped language, music, and even writing to mimic nature, making them easily processed by our ancient sensory systems. This conversation will change how you view humanity and our place in the natural world.
