Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Robin Dunbar. He's an anthropologist,

evolutionary psychologist, head of the Social and Evolutionary Neuroscience Research Group at the

University of Oxford, and an author. Love is something people have been trying to describe for

thousands of years. Beyond asking what love is, it's a question of why humans feel something so

strange in the first place. Why would evolution have exposed us to this extreme sensation with

huge potential for catastrophe and pain? Expect to learn how love is adaptive, why humans need to

have sex more than almost all other animals to get pregnant, why ancestral men who hunted big

animals were only doing it to get laid, how the length of your fingers can tell you how promiscuous

you are, whether Robin thinks humans were ancestral immunogamous, and much more.

especially from someone like Robin who understands it in the wider context of anthropology,

did. And if you do, don't forget to hit subscribe. It's the best way to support the show, and it makes me

very happy. Thank you. In other news, this episode is brought to you by my protein. It is impact

So if you've been thinking that you need to stock up on stuff, now is the time to go and do it,

whether it's your sports nutrition, accessories, clothing, proteins, protein, foods, their bars,

everything that they've got. Now is the time to go and do it. They ship internationally. I highly

recommend their layered bars, which taste better than most chocolate bars. And I've got 20 grams of

protein each, their beef jerky is phenomenal, all of their protein foods, and they're clear

away, which is the best protein on the planet that looks and tastes like juice, but has more protein

in than a normal protein shake. Head to bit.ly slash protein wisdom. That unlocks my code. And if you
