Podcast: The evolutionary biologist Petr Tureček
How do you study the evolution of culture? Each of us was born into an entirely unique cultural space that we let influence us. Culture writes itself into us throughout life and affects what we wear, what role we occupy in society and which rituals we make our own. In today's episode of our partner podcast Brain We Are we talk to the evolutionary biologist Petr Tureček, who takes us on a journey from the genetics of culture to interplanetary humanity and the speculative (non-)ends of civilisation.
