Atlas Hugged and Catalyzing Positive Change in the Real World, with David Korten

TVOL guest host Max Beilby talks with Andrew O'Keeffe about his work helping leaders make better sense of the human dimension of their role, so that they can work with, rather than against, human nature. Max and Andrew also discuss the coronavirus pandemic, and its potential long-term impacts on working practices.    Andrew O’Keeffe is director of Hardwired Humans, a consulting firm that helps organizations design their people strategies to fit human instincts. He is the author of Hardwired Humans and The Boss. Andrew’s background is in senior HR roles with IBM , Cable &amp; Wireless Optus and in professional services. He began his career in industrial relations in the mining and manufacturing industries. He holds a Bachelor of Economics from The University of Sydney. Andrew has a close connection with Dr Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI). When Andrew runs leadership programs at zoos, he does so in collaboration with JGI. And over the last decade when Jane Goodall has visited Australia, she and Andrew have joined forces to speak to business leaders about the importance of our social instincts (Dr Goodall talking about chimps, and Andrew talking about humans).   ---  Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book

Human Nature at Work, with Andrew O'Keeffe

Lee Dugatkin

What was the study of nature like before Darwin? It was an integral part of the Enlightenment and was avidly pursued by early Americans such as Thomas Jefferson and the portrait artist Charles Willson Peale, who created the most famous museum of the Revolutionary era. Lee Dugatkin is both an historical scholar of the period and an eminent evolutionary scientist. His newest book on Peale’s museum, Behind the Crimson Curtain: The Rise and Fall of Peale’s Museum, helps to situate “this view of life” against the background of centuries of intellectual thought.    ---  Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book

Robert Kurzban

In this bonus archive episode, David talks with evolutionary psychologist Robert Kurzban about his book, "Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind" which shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's modular design. Modularity suggests that there is no "I." Instead, each of us is a contentious "we"—a collection of discrete but interacting systems whose constant conflicts shape our interactions with one another and our experience of the world. ---  Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book

[BONUS] Robert Kurzban On the Modular Mind

Rita Colwell

Rita Colwell pioneered the study of microbial ecology and genetics and served as Director of the National Science Foundation during 1998-2004. Her new book A Lab of Her Own: One Woman's Personal Journey Through Sexism in Science tells two evolutionary stories. The first is the story of her career studying microbial genetic evolution, including diseases such as cholera and anthrax. The second is the story of cultural evolution and the lack thereof, such as entrenched sexism in science and the reluctance of the medical establishment to embrace new  ideas. My conversation with Rita uniquely weaves these two themes of her book and life together into a single braid.    Other Referenced Materials:  "Ages of Discord", Peter Turchin  TVOL podcast on education with Peter Gray "Diffusion of Innovations", by Everett M.

My conversation with Rita uniquely weaves these two themes of her book and life together into a single braid.   Other Referenced Materials: <ul> <li>"<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDLT2C5/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1#:~:text=The%20book%20takes%20the%20reader,present%2C%20second%20Age%20of%20Discord." rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ages of Discord</a>", Peter Turchin</li> <li><a href="https://evolution-institute.org/peter-gray-on-education-as-a-biological-phenomenon-learning-from-hunter-gatherers-and-letting-children-lead/?utm_source=tvol+podcast&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=shownotes&amp;utm_content=colwell" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> TVOL podcast on education with Peter Gray</a></li> <li>"<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZDOUUU/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diffusion of Innovations</a>", by Everett M.

Joan Silk

The idea that nature, left to itself, reaches some sort of harmonious balance is still widespread in the lay public and some public policy circles. "This View of Life" leads to a different conclusion; that "niceness" can evolve, but only when special conditions are met. Otherwise, evolution results in organisms that impose suffering on each other. David explores this theme for primate societies with the pre-eminent primatologist and evolutionary behavioral ecologist, Joan Silk.  ---  Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book

Peter Gray

LEAD

Peter Gray, the first psychologist to write an introductory psychology textbook from an evolutionary perspective, experienced a family crisis when his son started to rebel against public school. Finding alternative schooling for his son led Peter to champion a new paradigm for child development and education from an evolutionary perspective.   He joins David to discuss this journey and more, including how children learn by imitating “real” people, how graduate school is like hunter-gatherer education, and whether we need creativity more than ever.   Links from the Show 00:52- Peter's blog on Psychology Today 00:58- Peter's book, Free To Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life 11:57- The Sudbury Valley School (website)   Also see these related TVOL articles: "Mismatch Between Our Biologically Evolved Educative Instincts and Culturally Evolved Schools" by Peter Gray "Free To Learn: Does The Hunter-Gatherer Style Of Education Work?" by Gabrielle Principe   And explore the Evolution Institute's  East Tampa Academy project, where we are taking the best of what science tells us about how young minds learn to create a high-quality, tuition-free school for children at risk of academic failure.    ---     Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book

Peter Gray on Education as a Biological Phenomenon, Learning from Hunter-Gatherers, and Letting Children Lead

Carsta Simon

Hilde Mobekk

What is Dugnad? It is a uniquely Norwegian word that identifies an important aspect of its culture of cooperation. David Sloan Wilson talks with Carsta Simon and Hilde Mobekk on their recently published article titled Dugnad: A Fact and Narrative of Norwegian Prosocial Behavior, published in Perspectives on Behavior Science and available open access for a limited time period.  Carsta and Hilde's study of Dugnad emerged from the Evolution Institute's Norway Project, which examines Norway as a case study of cultural evolution leading to a high quality of life at the national scale. A book length account of the Norway project titled  Sustainable Modernity: The Nordic Model and Beyond, is published by Routledge Press and is permanently open access.   Both the article and the book illustrate a distinctive approach that involves asking four questions about any particular product of evolution, whether genetic or cultural, concerning its function, history, mechanism, and development.    Carsta Simon  is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Agder in southern Norway. Hilde Mobekk  is a PhD fellow in Behavior Analysis at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University. Both are trained in Behavior Analysis, which makes them especially well qualified to comment on the "mechanism" and "development" questions concerning Dugnad as an enduring product of cultural evolution.   Other Related Materials (pdfs available upon request)  "Why Norwegians Don't have Their Pigs in the Forest: Illuminating Nordic 'Co-Operation" - Carsta Simon [Open Access] "The ontogenetic evolution of verbal behavior" - Carsta Simon [Open Access] "Selection as a domain-general evolutionary process" - Carsta Simon and Dag O.

Dugnad as part of Norway's Culture of Cooperation: A conversation with Carsta Simon and Hilde Mobekk

Elliott Sober

One of the high points of David's professional life has been to work with Elliott Sober, Hans Reichenbach Professor and William F. Vilas Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. Elliott has made foundational contributions to many topics in evolutionary science, including his and David's collaboration on multilevel selection (MLS) theory. In this conversation, they discuss the roots of MLS theory and more, including the subtlety of Darwin, what Bret Weinstein misses about group selection, the problem of the averaging fallacy, and path dependency in scholarship.

Peter J. Richerson: Morality from an Evolutionary Perspective

Trygve Throntveit

In the late 19th century, a tiny group of intellectuals who called themselves Pragmatists were to have an outsized influence on the nation and the world. They were inspired by Darwin and included well-known figures such as William James and John Dewey. Trygve Throntveit, a distinguished historian of the period, helps me tell the story of how the Pragmatists discovered the Third Way.

Evolving the Future of Corporations: A Conversation with Toby Shannan

Michele Gelfand

TVOL's first podcast with Michele Gelfand explored an axis of cultural variation from "tight" (strong norms, strongly enforced) to "loose" (tolerant of individual differences). In this new podcast, we explore the distinctive blend of tightness and looseness needed to adapt to the pandemic.    Related Material Michele's book:  Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: How Tight and Loose Cultures Wire Our World Institutional and Cultural Factors Predicting Infection Rates and Mortality of COVID-19.

Tightening and Loosening Up for the Coronavirus Pandemic with Michele Gelfand

Evolution education is often considered solely the domain of the biology classroom, with evolutionary explanations centered largely on genetic change over generations. In this TVOL Podcast, David Sloan Wilson talks with education researchers Susan Hanisch and Dustin Eirdosh about emerging approaches in evolution education that challenge this view and embrace an interdisciplinary conceptualization of evolutionary change more suitable to understanding the human condition. By drawing on perspectives in the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, Cultural Evolution Science, and Contextual Behavioral Science, Hanisch and Eirdosh have advanced a collection of teaching tools and materials that can be used across subject areas in general education to help students understand the evolutionary change dynamics within our species, our communities, and ourselves. Discussing core conceptual challenges in current gene-centric evolution education provides a window into the opportunities created by focusing the human traits at the center of our everyday experience.  Bios Susan Hanisch and Dustin Eirdosh are the co-founders of the non-profit organization Global ESD (www.GlobalESD.org) and education researchers in the Department of Comparative Cultural Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Dustin and Susi work across the disciplines of education and human sciences to advance interdisciplinary teaching materials and teacher development supports to understand global sustainability issues through the lens of evolution and human behavior.  EEO Article:  Can the science of Prosocial be a part of evolution education? Hanisch &amp; Eirdosh Preprints:  Conceptual clarification of evolution as an interdisciplinary science  Educational potential of teaching evolution as an interdisciplinary science  Causal mapping as a teaching tool for reflecting on causation in human evolution Other articles mentioned in the Podcast: Regardless of students' belief systems (creationist, theistic, non-theistic) students tend to view evolution has having negative personal and social implications.  Brem, S. K., Ranney, M., &amp; Schindel, J. (2003). Perceived consequences of evolution: College students perceive negative personal and social impact in evolutionary theory.Science Education,87(2), 181-206. A biology teacher encourages students to "boo" other students for any reference to "need" in evolutionary explanations as opposed to helping students resolve the role of behavioral responses to need in evolutionary processes (see Hanisch &amp; Eirdosh preprint: Causal mapping as a teaching tool for reflecting on causation in human evolution) Bravo, P., &amp; Cofré, H.

Evolutionary Mismatch in the Workplace with Mark van Vugt and  Max Beilby

Niruban Balachandran

Daniel Glass

In 1992, the evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby predicted, "Just as one can now flip open Gray's Anatomy to any page and find an intricately detailed depiction of some part of our evolved species-typical morphology, we anticipate that in 50 or 100 years one will be able to pick up an equivalent reference work for psychology and find in it detailed information-processing descriptions of the multitude of evolved species-typical adaptations of the human mind...” Finding it unnecessary to wait until 2042 or 2092, Niruban Balachandran first proposed and published a classification table of human evolved psychological adaptations in 2011. He then teamed up with Daniel Glass in 2012 to co-found and co-publish a research paper announcing PsychTable.org, an open-science taxonomy devoted to uncovering the richness and complexity of our evolved human behavior. In addition to these two peer-reviewed research papers, Niruban and Daniel have also written a  This View of Life article to accompany this podcast episode. The PsychTable team is crowdfunding $10,000 in order to hire the highly experienced web designers and developers needed to create a robust and intuitive web interface.

PsychTable.org: A Digital Classification Table of Human Evolved Psychological Adaptations. A conversation with Niruban Balachandran and Daniel Glass

Lynette Shaw

Phrases such as "social constructivism" and "relativism" signal the importance of symbolic meaning systems in human life. Taken to extremes, they have been used to undermine the authority of science and even to deny the existence of objective knowledge, paving the way for today's epidemic of "fake news". Against this background, evolutionary science can establish a sensible middle ground that recognizes the importance of symbolic thought in human cultural evolution and provides a disciplined way to scientifically understand it.     Lynette Shaw holds a PhD in Sociology and is Assistant Professor of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan. She joins David to discuss "this view of social constructivism” and more, including the micro to macro link of culture, the social construction of digital currencies, automatic sense making, human symbolic thought as niche construction, and the need for common ground between different academic disciplines.   Links from the Episode 1:30:  "Academic Grievance Studies and the Corruption of Scholarship"    ---     Become a member of the TVOL1000 and join the Darwinian revolution      Follow This View of Life on Twitter and Facebook    Order the This View of Life book
