Join me as I apply the tool kits of evolutionary theory and animal behavior to problems large and small—what to eat and how to parent; how to teach and be an upstanding citizen; what to avoid, and what to seek.

EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST
Heather Heying
The scientific process is primary in my approach to life, and I strive to bring it to the foreground of my audience—and formerly, my students—so that they become comfortable generating hypotheses for the patterns that they observe around them in the world, and are able to live investigated, conscious lives.
I also explore and interpret the world through adventure and travel, sport and game, narrative and connection. My evolutionary biologist husband Bret Weinstein, our children, and our pet carnivorans, are often with me on these explorations. Learn more ➝

BOOK RELEASE
A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide
to the 21st Century
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet people are more listless, divided and miserable than ever.
Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, and yet our political landscape grows ever more toxic, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these two truths? What's more, what can we do to close it?
