Dr. Bear F. Braumoeller is a Professor in the Department of Political Science at Ohio State University. He previously held faculty positions at Harvard University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Braumoeller’s research is in the areas of international security and computational social science. His current research focus is on the relationship between international order and international conflict. He is the author Only the Dead: The Persistence of War in the Modern Age (Oxford University Press, 2019).
In this episode, we focus on Only the Dead. We first address some basic questions, like the definition of war, when war started in human history, and the causes of war and how they changed over time. We talk about how to measure rates of conflict initiation, and magnitude, severity and intensity of war. We then get into the decline-of-war thesis, particularly the version put forth by Steven Pinker, and go through some of the main issues with it, at the level of data and explanations. We also talk about what it gets right. Finally, we ask if wars are irrational, and discuss why the decline-of-war thesis might be politically dangerous.

Dr. Lesley Newson is honorary post-doc at University of California, Davis.
Dr. Peter Richerson is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California, Davis. He’s also the author of books like Culture and the Evolutionary Process, Not by Genes Alone: How Culture Transformed Human Evolution, and The Origin and Evolution of Cultures, all written in collaboration with Dr. Robert Boyd.
They are both authors of a recent book, A Story of Us: A New Look at Human Evolution.
In this episode, we focus on A Story of Us. We start with general questions: the relationship between biology and culture; gene-culture coevolution; human behavioral flexibility; and human universals. We then get into the evolutionary story presented in the book, and go through: our last common ancestor with chimpanzees and bonobos; bipedal apes from 3 million years ago; early humans from 1.5 million years ago; humans from 100.000 years ago; human societies from 30.000 and 10.000 years ago; and modernity. We also discuss the concept of “social tools”, and the importance of our life history in our evolution. We talk about current and future challenges. We then go back to some general questions, and discuss some criticisms of evolutionary psychology; group selection; social selection; and “human nature”. We finish with a question from a patron.

Dr. Michael Strevens is Professor of Philosophy at New York University. He works on the philosophy of science, where his interests include explanation, complex systems, probability, confirmation, the social structure of science, and causation; the psychology of concepts; and the philosophical applications of cognitive science. He is the author of The Knowledge Machine: How Irrationality Created Modern Science.
In this episode, we focus on The Knowledge Machine. We first talk about science before the scientific revolution, and what is the scientific method. We discuss the ways Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn thought about science. We discuss the central thesis of the book, that science is based on irrationality. We also discuss how people decide how to interpret scientific data. We talk about the importance of replication and peer-review. We ask if science is counterintuitive. Finally, we talk about the relationship between philosophy and science, and we ask if science can be (morally) prescriptive.

Dr. Edward Westermann is Professor of History at Texas A&M University (USA), where he teaches courses related to Modern and Contemporary European History. His most recent book is Drunk on Genocide: Alcohol and Mass Murder in Germany.
In this episode, we focus on Drunk on Genocide. We start by talking about other historical examples of alcohol associated with coalitional violence. We then talk about drinking in German society prior to the rise of the regime. We discuss reasons why alcohol is consumed in a context of violence. We talk about rituals and their psychological effects. We discuss the relationship between masculinity and the regime, and also their relationship with geography. We talk about how rituals promoted social bonding. We ask what all of this tells us about human nature. We discuss what was behind the rise of the regime. We talk about different kinds of violence perpetrated during war and in concentration camps. We also talk about the possible role alcohol played in suicides in the end of the regime, and how it was used as an alibi in the Nuremberg trials. Finally, we discuss how this culture of masculinity and alcohol might have played a role in Germany after the II World War.

Dr. Giuliana Spadaro is Visiting Fellow in the Faculty of Behavioral and Movement Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She is interested in conducting experimental research on prosocial and cooperative behavior. Her PhD project captured this interest, and focused on understanding the relation between institutions, trust, and cooperation among strangers.
In this episode, we talk about trust and cooperation. We define trust, and talk about trust and cooperation among strangers. We discuss individual differences in trust, and trust on an individual and societal level. We explore why different countries have different levels of interpersonal trust, differences in trust between individualistic and collectivistic societies, and the economic and social outcomes associated with it. We discuss if different groups of migrants show different levels of trust toward native people, and if they adapt to the society they migrate to across generations. We talk about the personality traits associated with prosocial behavior. We refer to the bystander effect, and the explanations behind it. Finally, we ask if it is possible to increase levels of interpersonal trust.

Dr. Nicole Barbaro is Educational Research Scientist for WGU Labs, an Adjunct Professor at Utah Valley University, and the Communications Officer for the Human Behavior and Evolution Society. Her interests are in human sexual psychology and behavior, including application of life history theory and sperm competition theory.
In this episode, we focus on attachment theory and behavioral genetics. We dissect attachment theory, going through topics like the different attachment styles; their relationship with personality; what we know about the behavioral genetics of attachment; the shared and the non-shared environment; the evolution of attachment; and environment unpredictability. We discuss the relationship between anxious attachment and intimate partner violence. We talk about a recent paper on the effects of spanking on psychosocial outcomes. Finally, we discuss the relationship between behavioral genetics and evolutionary psychology, and we end with a question from a patron of the show.

Dr. Kirsty Graham is Research Associate at the University of St. Andrews. Her PhD research, supervised by Prof. Richard Byrne, catalogued the full gestural repertoire of wild bonobos. She examined individual differences in repertoire size and usage. Most importantly, she defined the meaning of each gesture type by determining the reaction given by the recipient that satisfies the signaller. Understanding meanings or ambiguity of meanings for wild bonobo gestural communication provides insights into the evolution of our own complex communication system.
In this episode, we talk about gestural communication in primates. We discuss what communication is from an evolutionary perspective. We then get into gestural communication, focusing on bonobos, chimpanzees, and humans.

Dr. Adaner Usmani is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Social Studies at Harvard University.
In this episode, we focus on topics like mass incarceration, discrimination against black Americans and the root causes of their subordination, modern democracies and their weaknesses, creating a Left that does not deny human nature, and the viability of communism in current political systems. We discuss the causes and motivations behind mass incarceration in the US. We talk about the contentious issue of high crime rates in black communities, and the causes behind them. We address the narrative of the destruction of the nuclear family and a culture that go against personal responsibility, coming from the conservatives. We talk about praise and blame. We discuss modern democracies, the major threats to democracy, the democracies that distribute power among their citizens, and the ones that withhold it. And we also discuss political struggle and communism. And, finally, we talk about the need to include biology in sociological analyses, and about a potential biologically-informed Left.

Dr. William Keith Campbell is a professor in the Department of Psychology in the University of Georgia's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers and a number of books, including The Handbook of Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Theoretical Approaches, Empirical Findings, and Treatments (with Joshua Miller) and The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement (with Jean Twenge). Dr. Keith Campbell’s new book, in collaboration with Grady College alumna Carolyn Crist, was recently released: “The New Science of Narcissism: Understanding one of the greatest Psychological challenges of our time – and what you can do about it”.
In this episode, we focus on The New Science of Narcissism. First we define narcissism. We talk about its heritability, and the relationship with the Big Five personality traits, and with the Dark Triad. We discuss the benefits and costs of narcissism, for the narcissist and for the people around him. We refer to Trump, and ask if mental health professionals should diagnose political figures. We talk about social media and its relationship with narcissism. We ask if it is possible to reduce levels of narcissism in individuals, and also who should seek therapy. Toward the end, we talk about the cultural aspects of mental disorders, and the questions about narcissism we have yet to answer.

O Dr. Pedro Galvão ensina no Departamento de Filosofia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa, onde também é membro do Centro de Filosofia. Nesta unidade de investigação, pertence ao grupo LanCog.
Neste episódio, falamos sobre o Três Diálogos sobre a Morte. Exploramos primeiro o que é a morte, lidando com problemas relacionados com a identidade, e quando é que ocorre a morte. Falamos da relação entre a filosofia da morte e questões éticas relacionadas com a morte ou colocar um termo à vida (do próprio ou de outrem). Dentro deste tema, ao longo da conversa vamos referindo a eutanásia, o suicídio (assistido), o homicídio e o aborto. A determinado ponto, quando transitamos para como se avalia a qualidade da vida, abordamos o antinatalismo de David Benatar. Discutimos se a nossa perspetiva sobre a vida mudaria caso houvesse vida após a morte, e também a imortalidade, antes de entrarmos nas diversas formas que há de avaliar a qualidade de uma vida, tal como as que vivemos hoje. Questionamos se a morte em si é um mal, e diversas escolas de pensamento que responderam à questão. Falamos sobre a possibilidade de defender uma posição pró-mortalista, e da ética do suicídio (assistido). Discutimos um possível direito à morte, e em que contexto este se poderia enquadrar. E terminamos falando um pouco dos personagens do livro e das motivações para o escrever em diálogo.

Kateřina Lochmanová is currently finishing her postgraduate studies of philosophy at the University of Ostrava, where she graduated with a diploma thesis entitled Iracionality of a Wager on Life in the Context of Benatar’s Antinatalism. She is one of the coorganisators of conferences on antinatalism in Ostrava as well as in Prague (with Vlastimil Vohánka, Filip Svoboda, David Černý and Tomáš Hříbek). At present, she is primarily concerned with geometry and metaphysics of space by a German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, but peripherally she is still interested in the subject of antinatalism too, especially in (the history of) Benatar’s asymmetry argument. She is the editor of History of Antinatalism: How Philosophy Has Challenged the Question of Procreation.
In this episode, we focus on History of Antinatalism, and aspects of its philosophy. We start with the history, and then get into topics like the philosophy of Schopenhauer and David Benatar; the human condition; promortalism; abortion; human extinction; pronatalism; homicide; euthanasia; and nihilism.

Dr. Joel Paris is Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University, and Research Associate in the Department of Psychiatry at Sir Mortimer B. Davis-Jewish General Hospital. His research interests include developmental factors in personality disorders (especially borderline personality), and culture and personality. He’s the author of many books, including An Evidence-Based Critique of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, The Fall of an Icon: Psychoanalysis and Academic Psychiatry, and Fads and Fallacies in Psychiatry.
In this episode, we focus on psychoanalysis. We start with a history of psychoanalysis, and its theoretical bases. We talk about the importance of taking individual differences into account when studying human psychology. The clinical aspect of psychoanalysis, and comparing it to cognitive-behavioral therapy. We discuss what psychoanalysis gets wrong about the subconscious mind, repressed memories, and defense mechanisms. We talk about how psychoanalysts have been trying to force neuroscience into their preconceived theories. We address some of the most pressing issues in modern psychiatry. We finish by asking if it is possible to reconcile psychoanalysis with modern scientific psychology.

Dr. Nathan H. Lents is Professor of Biology and director of the honors program and the campus Macaulay Honors College program at John Jay College. Dr. Lents is noted for his work in cell biology, genetics, and forensic science, as well as his popular science writing and blogging on the evolution of human biology and behavior. He is the author of books like Not So Different: Finding Human Nature in Animals, and Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes.
In this episode, we talk about Human Errors. During the interview, we discuss many different physical, physiological and psychological errors, including things like genetic errors, problems with our reproduction, and cognitive biases. We start by defining them. We also talk about the effects that modern medicine is having on our evolution; predicting our evolutionary future; to what extent we need these errors to function properly; sources of evidence for the fact that we are still evolving; eliminating the errors through genetic engineering and human enhancement; the possibility of living forever; and ways humans are better than other animals.

Dr. Eric Kaufmann is Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, UK. He is principally interested in cultural politics: ethnicity, national identity and religion. He’s the author of Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration, and the Future of White Majorities.
In this episode, we focus on Whiteshift. First, Dr. Kaufmann tells us about the main thesis of the book. We discuss the relationship between ethnicity and culture, and the relationship between ethnic identity and politics. We go through some of the factors behind the rise of the populist right, including the migration crisis, Muslim terrorism, and the 2008 economic crisis. We talk about different strategies to deal with immigrants. We speculate a bit about the possible future of the European Union. We ask if it is possible to have countries without borders, and if multiculturalism works. We end with a teaser to our possible second conversation, and talk about the relationship between religion and demography.
