This author was mentioned to me by a student in 2020,a book she had read, and I didn't get around to it with the pandemic changing life, but one I will get to. This is a great talk, thanks for sharing.
You could also watch the documentary version of it, it's very good and covers alot since it's 3x1 hours. Jared himself is in it and he got a great narrator for it (Peter Coyote, unmistakable voice). If you're lucky there's often a version of it on youtube somewhere.
I have wanted to read this book every day after dinner more than I want to watch my favorite team play football in the weekend. The other guy is right, this is our generations’ origin of species.
No. He’s fluff. His analysis of sophomoric and superficial. I too was enraptured but his simple answers to complex events completely misses the mark. Just Google critiques of him.
@@noparnel1 Everything you said can be applied to every scholar, also there is the fact that modern westerners tend to ignore the effect the environment have on them, thinking everything is self-made. He break the silence and give an applaudable explanation on the impact of environment on civilizations and their success and failures. You can never fully explain history but he does bring up such an ignored spot in the western thought.

sir i found the 3 videos very interesting but you talk about hunter gathers being replaced im from tennessee if we didnt hunt when i was young we didnt eat. now we go to walmart but i miss the fact i knew what was on the table was put there through the family effort. we are not replaced we were commercialized. it was a much simpler way of life .and much healthier
Very true, Paul, but just imagine 8 billion people trying to hunter gather for a living. The world would run out of game very quickly, and gathering in some places , isn't possible. I think that hunting will always be around to help control game population in some areas, and many wild plants are healthy and delicious, but sustainability has to be utilized, if for no other reason, than, to stop the degradation of wildlife herds and the farmland, that's been depleted, by pesticide and chemical fertilizers. jus' sayin'
You can only do that because fewer people were hunting like you were and you had technology that a stationary culture gives like refrigeration, guns, smokeless powder, modern industrial methods and so on.
True. But it was also enabled by technology such as Eli Whitney’s cotton gin which allowed the southern cotton industry, and slavery, to expand and thrive as the northern states outlawed slavery in favor of factories run by free people.
So IQ does not play a part in why one area and/or ethnic group has been successful over another? Also, greed, ruthlessness, and lack of empathy part of certain groups natural traits? .
I will say it's difficult to disentangle all these factors. Perhaps environmental factors and civilizational levels also contribute to variations in IQ across different ethnic groups.

Hopefully you teach kindergarten

Too bad its mostly been debunked and is considered pseudoscience.
@@chrischris5510 true. But still an interesting read I think.

I've never read a book so quickly since I was a kid .
I believe that it's one of the most important works of our time.

Are there any other popular theories on our evolution? I’m curious to hear others views on the topic. Ty, great vid!
Yes try these two RUclips channels: "The Jolly Heretic" (Dr Edward Dutton) and "The People's Veto" (Ryan Faulk)

Oh hearing his voice just triggered my stereotypical tendency: that slightly muffled, deep voice.
Please translate speak indonesia
What a badass. These are the true heroes that should be rich and famous. Truly enlightening normal humans like me.
The volume is terrible.
hi Diamond .-
48:00 LOL!
Slavery also is a big issue. It removed the incentive for technology to advance.
True.
But it was also enabled by technology such as Eli Whitney’s cotton gin which allowed the southern cotton industry, and slavery, to expand and thrive as the northern states outlawed slavery in favor of factories run by free people.
@@Lobsterwithinternet True, but we can see where technology advanced slower overall in ancient times when slavery was the norm.

yep, those are natural traits. you have been around other humans, right? lol
"evolution is real but uh....IQ has nothing to do with evolution"
can't believe people eat this shit up
@@chickenzzzzzzzzz You are a prime example of someone who won't believe anything they don't WANT TO.
