#7 Christopher Ryan - Our Hostile Human Zoo & How to Escape It Through Understanding Prehistory

This week on the “Death in The Garden” podcast, we have the honor of sharing our interview with our friend, Christopher Ryan. Chris Ryan is the profoundly insightful writer of best-selling books Sex at Dawn and Civilized to Death, and host of the fascinating podcast, “Tangentially Speaking.” We delve into the origins of our civilization, the accidental & turbulent process of its evolution, how civilization has affected our psyches, why it’s totally normal to feel that there is something deeply wrong with society in modernity— and how we can escape its harmful influence by learning from hunter-gatherers and understanding prehistory.
