Sex & Gender: An Evolutionary Perspective - Heather Heying | After Skool

Sex & Gender: An Evolutionary Perspective - Heather Heying Heather Heying is an evolutionary biologist, professor, author and podcastor. With her husband, Bret Weinstein, she authored the New York Time's Best Selling book, "A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century", which provides an evolutionary toolkit for living a good and honorable life as an ape in the 21st century. This animation is an adaptation from one of the chapters in that book.For 15 years, Heather was a professor at The Evergreen State College, where she provided undergraduates a curriculum that prioritized the scientific method, and pushed students outside of their own certainty and comfort zones, in part through exploring remote sites in the neotropics.That ended in 2017 when she and her husband, Bret Weinstein resigned in the wake of violent protests on campus. Since then they has been educating outside of the classroom, in invited talks, in written work, and especially, in their weekly livestreamed episodes of the DarkHorse podcast.Heather also has a substack where you can access more of her writing and ideas https://naturalselections.substack.com/ Learn more at https://www.heatherheying.com/ Dark Horse Podcast clips - https://www.youtube.com/@DarkHorsePodcastClips0:00 - Intro 1:42 - Evolution of Gender Roles 6:14 - Deep History of Sex 13:12 - $3X Changes & $3X Roles in Animals 21:42 - Division of Labor 26:20 - What might we learn? 27:30 - Reproductive Strategies 34:50 - Failure of Reductionism: P04N 38:48 - The Corrective LensThank you for watching.
