Our instincts haven't changed much but our environment has changed dramatically. We blend the science of evolutionary psychology with the clinical experience of Doug Lisle, PhD to explore common problems and stumbling points in our pursui... more

  • Eye opening and practical

    The podcast does a fantastic job of making evolutionary psychology engaging and useful. The episode on the evolutionary roots of procrastination really resinated with me – it gave me a new perspective on why we put things off and how to work with, not against, our brains. Every episode helps me better understand human behavior and apply those insights to daily life. Highly recommend!

  • Absolutely outstanding!

    I found this podcast by total chance. I have always been very interested in human nature, for example I’ve always wondered how did someone like Eminem, who was very clearly abused make it all the way to the top in life…? He’s not lying down in the gutter crying, he’s a millionaire! The answer: he was born with exceptional genes that lead him down his path! WOW! I particularly have had more of an interest in figuring out myself, like a driving force that’s been encoded and I can’t escape it. And ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

366: Closing an Open Loop – Friend Disappeared 17 years ago
Q: How can I close the loop and move on if it's impossible to get all the information?
Dr. Lisle suggests that the lingering anxiety stems from an instinctual drive for self-preservation, indicating a perceived risk due to the unknown surrounding the friend's disappearance.
364: Marriage: Nature’s Most Optimistic Mistake?
Q: If a couple is considering children, how else can a woman feel secure that the children and her will be provided for?
The woman should vet the male carefully to ensure he will provide for her and the children if the relationship fails.
364: Marriage: Nature’s Most Optimistic Mistake?
Q: Can you speculate or attempt to predict who is most likely to get married and then divorced?
There are many variables, but traits like being open, disagreeable, and low conscientiousness increase the likelihood of divorce.
363: Too Anxious to Relax, Too Average to Admire?
Q: Should attractiveness be determined based on your opinion of yourself or on feedback you receive from the opposite sex?
Dr. Lisle posits that there is no universal treatment from men; the discrepancies in treatment could be due to individual behaviors or assertiveness in disagreements with men.
363: Too Anxious to Relax, Too Average to Admire?
Q: Is it possible that I'm so neurotic that I'm just always going to be somewhat anxious?
Dr. Lisle suggests that your personality is largely influenced by genetics and that you may be dealing with a hypersensitive nervous system that infers threats everywhere, including minor discomforts.
