In this episode, I talk about our ancestors Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Homo erectus ate meat and controlled fire. They had bigger brains, but they didn't survive because they didn't care to adapt. Homo sapiens adapted, but their adaptations may have come at a price. We are Homo sapiens, and we continue the trajectory our ancestors started. Can we reassess it and ensure we survive and thrive as individuals and as a species?
