Really enjoyed this chat with @vivek123.bsky.social!
We work through the history of Man the Hunter ideas, the current status of the evidence (archaeological, ethnographic, etc.), and three splashy recent "debunkings."
Also, of course, some fun detours along the way.

New episode!! 🎙️🎉
A conversation w/ @vivek123.bsky.social about Man the Hunter.
The idea that male hunting propelled our evolution is old and contested. Yet it endures, especially in the popular imagination. Is it merely a "paleofantasy," or is there more to it?
