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 In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex--and its ancient roots.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.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are evolutionary biologists who have been invited to address the US Congress, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Education, and have spoken before audiences across the globe. They both earned PhDs in Biology from the University of Michigan, where their research on evolution and adaptation earned awards for its quality and innovation. They have been visiting fellows at Princeton University, and before that were professors at the Evergreen State College for fifteen years. They resigned from Evergreen in the wake of 2017 campus riots that focused in part on their opposition to a day of racial segregation and other college "equity" proposals. They cohost weekly livestreams of the DarkHorse podcast.

I love the metallic iridescent!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I love the color and the feel but the sizing is wonky. I’m a perfect 7.5.
The 7 wears like a 6-6.5 and the 8 is just a little too big.
I’m keeping my 7 in the blue and I have a pair in wine/purple in 8 from a few years ago.
I just won’t be running a mile in them anytime soon! LOL I love the look!

Comfortable and good traction
After being impressed by a similar (but not identical) pair of cheap slippers at an AirBnB rental, I searched out these. I bought the 44-45 size for my size 10.5 (US) feet; according to the size chart, that's supposed to fit sizes 10.5 to 11. I find that they're quite large, so that they're loose on my bare feet. In crew socks, they're OK and I use them as house slippers.
As advertised, they're soft, flexible, and springy. They grip the floor quite well. They're way better than the Crocs thong-style sandals I was using as bathroom sandals before. All in all, good value for money, but if you're using them as bathroom slippers and you have normal width feet, round the size down if you're at the small end of the stated range.
