| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. We have a really special guest on the podcast today. |
| 0:03.7 | Dr. Christopher Ryan, many of you probably know him, but if you don't, |
| 0:07.9 | he is the author of the New York Times bestseller Sex at Dawn. |
| 0:12.5 | It was a really popular book, very important book in a lot of ways. |
| 0:16.7 | Challenges, a lot of the notions put forth by prominent evolutionary psychologists, |
| 0:21.2 | which of course, all of you will know that I can appreciate. |
| 0:24.5 | He's been interviewed on, you know, every major TV show and, you know, |
| 0:29.3 | he's one of those kinds of characters that is fascinating to listen to, |
| 0:33.8 | fascinating to read, extremely smart. He's like Malcolm Gladwell in that way. |

| 1:14.8 | like everyone needs to read this, everyone needs to hear this guy talk. |
| 1:18.8 | And he came by my home office, my home studio, and we had a wonderful conversation. |
| 1:22.8 | So let's just go to that. What can you share with the listeners and me, |
| 1:26.6 | because I'm fascinated with some of the most interesting points of your book, Civilized |
| 1:32.8 | to Death? Most of the information that we have about life before civilization and, in fact, |
| 1:41.2 | life after civilization is inaccurate, in my opinion, and is more political propaganda |
