Über diesen Titel

 A provocative exploration of the tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes—and what we can do about it.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, lone­liness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond?

For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the accelerat­ing rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. We evolved to live in clans, but today many people don’t even know their neighbors’ names. In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex—and its ancient roots. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we are not built for is killing us.

In this book, Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and explor­ing Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems to confront today’s pressing social ills—from widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and back­ward education practices. Asking the questions many mod­ern people are afraid to ask, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life.

Kritikerstimmen

“Husband and wife team Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein bring their vast knowledge of evolutionary biology to bear on the problems that beset us. Wide-ranging and illuminating, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century posits an intriguing, surprising, and profound view of human nature.”
—DR. JORDAN B. PETERSON, author of Beyond Order, 12 Rules for Life, and Maps of Meaning

“A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century is the human story retold in beautiful language and moving metaphors. Heying and Weinstein are professorial in the best possible sense: they exemplify the intellectual humility, nuanced thinking, and love of learning that a great liberal arts education should nurture. Everyone who is raising or educating kids, or who wants to change social systems, should first read this book.”
—JONATHAN HAIDT, coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind and author of The Righteous Mind

“I have never read such a bold, well-researched, and succinct exploration of the puzzling predica­ment we find ourselves in. Anyone who wonders why the most comfortable society in history—our own—has such astronomical rates of depression, anxiety, and poor health will find abundant answers in A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century.”
—SEBASTIAN JUNGER, author of The Perfect Storm, War, Tribe, and Freedom

“Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are the brilliant, irresistible professors every student dreams of having. In their hands, complex technical ideas become accessible—and exhilarating. A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century is based on serious science, but it reads like an adventure story.”
—CHRISTINA HOFF SOMMERS, philosopher, author, and host of The Factual Feminist

“A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century has given me at least five evolutionary concepts that have become central to my way of viewing the world.”
—JAMIE WHEAL, executive director of the Flow Genome Project and coauthor of Stealing Fire

“Bret and Heather are highly regarded evolutionary biologists, very clear thinkers and communica­tors, and as attested to by their notoriety from the madness that their school put them through, they value scientific truth over political correctness.”
—ROBERT SAPOLSKY, author of Behave and A Primate’s Memoir

first review I ever wrote, but I thought it important, as before I purchased this audiobook, I had foundry because of the other reviews I read. this book is surely to the point, informative, and at the same time entertaining. both authors are doing a brilliant job of the narration too.

excellent.

At first, I found their voices to be a little sleep inducing, but if you can stick with it, the information is incredible. I never use the bookmark function in Audible, but with this book, I used it often.

worth it

As always, Heather and Bret give us amazing insights in an entertaining and educative way.
Thanks a lot!

extremely well analysed and easy to follow. very good narrative.

you will know some of the principles, which I liked this a lot as you can check them. for me it brought even the things I knew into a system/ context for bettter understanding the rest of the book.

recommended it to a lot of people 😄

This is an excellent book. Although there are quite a few passages that feel pushy and many statements in this book are unsubstantiated, the overall outcome for me after listening to it is priceless. One by one this book addresses many facets of modern life and examines with the help of a universally applicable toolkit informed by evolution. I may not agree with some of the conclusions in this book but it gave me reason to careful think about them and about why I disagree. All in all this is an eye opening book that, at least for me, perfectly achieved its goal: it got me thinking deeply.

A lot to think about

there are some really interesting concepts like chestingers fence "if you have smth with seemingly no purpose, ask why its there in the first place and not gone yet"
or the whole chapter about cuisine was highly interesting to me.
BUT
there is some pretty blantant conservative bias
especially in the relationship aspect of it.
they argued heavily in favor of monogamy which is fair and made a lot of good arguments that i agree with, but they failed to address upsides of monogamy that clearly exist ("strongest genes wins out & the wealthiest person raises them") they would argue that my example wouldnt work due to the whealthy man having no evolutionary incentive to raise the kid, but this is smth that is present in the biggest(?) world religion islam so it does seem to work out somehow.
also a huge part of their argument is saying that dating culture leads to less intense bonds which is fair i can see how but also argue that it is worse for children.
when the only reason dating culture even really exists is condoms, most kids arent a result of a date gone wrong.
So a lot of chapters in book are just straight obsolete.
they go even further and get close to saying that every relationship beyond the first is already polygamy which in which case yeah dating culture would be harmful but i highly doubt thats how it was in prior hunter gatherer societies or they failed to demonstrate it being the case of humans bonding for life.
there are other things I took issue with, but all those aside as mentioned at the start a decent book which i would listen too again & dont regret buying.

interesting concepts but a political bias

Many bits of good advice and wisdom based on good biology and evolutionary science. As soon as they step into other realms, like economics or policy, they clearly falter and fall flat.
Also, it was written like how a smart person would try and write a dumbed down book but with all the caveats and attempts at 2nd order thinking to cover any objections from their colleagues. Awkward.

Great Biologists, not so great elsewhere

After listening to this book (it was recommended everywhere I looked) I just had the feeling that it’s just the wrong title.

This book is more like an ensemble of thoughts that the two authors or parents had and wanted to write them down.

Not very scientific. Not a good help in this world.

I was just disappointed. I expected more.

A decent book…But that title is somehow misplaced.
