Christopher Ryan(@ThatChrisRyan), author of Sex at Dawn, joins to discuss sex and how human institutional knowledge naturalizes sex in unnatural ways. The problems with accepting monogamy as a "default." Responding to myths like sex is dirty or impure, about power, or about women getting resources from men. The radical changes the shift to agriculture had on how humans live. Why everyone aboad a sinking ship wants to hear everything is fine. How dating apps are reshaping what people want from dating apps.

Super great interview.

Egalitarianism among hunter gatherers is pretty solidly established consensus. But there are a lot of problems with Sex at Dawn, read Sex at Dusk for a substancive critique.
