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 In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex--and its ancient roots.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

Great starter Tape
Size: 10MM 2ROLLS
I recently purchased the 2 Rolls 10mm x 33m 108ft Heat Tape for a variety of projects, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in almost every aspect. This adhesive heat-resistant tape has quickly become an essential tool in my toolkit, especially for electronics, soldering, and thermal sublimation presses. The tape is exceptionally durable and heat-resistant, which is crucial when working with high temperatures. I’ve used it for both circuit board applications and for thermal sublimation pressing, and it holds up well without any issues. It adheres securely to surfaces without peeling off, even when exposed to heat. The adhesive is strong but doesn’t leave any residue behind when removed. One of the most important features for me is the heat resistance. The tape has held up perfectly in high-heat environments, whether it’s for soldering or for heat transfer during the sublimation process. It maintains its integrity under heat without losing its adhesive strength, which is something I can’t always say for other tapes I’ve tried.Overall, the 2 Rolls 10mm x 33m 108ft Heat Tape is a fantastic product that delivers on all fronts. Whether you're using it for heat-resistant purposes in electronics, soldering, or thermal sublimation presses, it performs exceptionally well. It’s durable, versatile, and easy to use, making it a must-have for any DIYer, technician, or professional in the industry. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality heat tape.

Goes on easy, never melts, peels off easy
Size: 10MM 2ROLLS, Size: 10MM 2ROLLS
This stuff is a life saver! It was so awkward before I found this tape, id try bending the pins to hold it in place, I got so desperate one time I used painters tape lol what a mess. This tape is great, it doesn't always look ptlretty when i apply it, but it always holds, never melts, and peels off so easily when I'm done. I'll definitely be buying more of this. I bought two rolls a about a month ago and I've still got 1.5 rolls left, and I use it like its going out of style

Really good product
Size: 10MM 2ROLLS, Size: 10MM 2ROLLS
I use this thermal tape when heat pressing designs onto shirts, and it’s been really useful for keeping the design in place while moving the shirt on and off the press. Without tape, the design can shift pretty easily, but this helps hold everything steady so the placement stays accurate. One thing I really like is that it removes cleanly and doesn’t leave any sticky residue on the shirt or the design, which is important when working with heat transfer materials. It also holds well during the pressing process as long as it’s applied correctly. The only small issue I noticed is that if you don’t press the tape down firmly when placing it, it can peel off a bit easier than expected. Making sure it’s stuck down properly fixes that problem though. Overall, it’s a helpful tool for anyone doing heat press or shirt printing, especially if you want to keep designs from moving during the process.
