Recovering From ReligionSex and Gender Diversity in the Animal WorldJust as dominant societal forces enforced heteronormative, patriarchal, puritanical, and overly simplistic values on human sexuality, the sexual diversity of animals has been largely ignored or misinterpreted by biologists. But the field of biology has now begun overcoming this bias, and now it studies and describes the sexual diversity in animals – something which is normal and natural and leads to robust populations more adaptable to changes in their environment. In his presentation, Nathan H. Lents will discuss these topics, and describe the myriad ways that animal bodies are sexed, the varieties of “genders” within sexes, and other forms of sexual...

Lents explains why genome comparisons are complex and shows that humans and chimpanzees remain 98–99% genetically similar, despite creationist Casey Luskin's misrepresentation of new data. He warns that such distortions reflect broader attempts by ideologues to undermine science and push pseudoscience into classrooms.

Sex and Psychology PodcastWhat Determines Our Sexual Orientation?Why are some people straight while others are gay or bisexual? What determines our sexual orientation anyway? Today, we’re going to be diving into what we’ve learned about the biological origins of our sexuality from decades of scientific research. As you’ll see, there’s not a simple and easy story—it doesn’t boil down to something like a “gay gene.” It’s way more complex than that!

Science QuicklyNature’s Sexual Spectrum Breaks the BinaryBiologist Nathan Lents joins Science Quickly to explore the vast sexual diversity found across the animal kingdom. His new book, The Sexual Evolution: How 500 Million Years of Sex, Gender, and Mating Shape Modern Relationships, challenges the binary framework that has long shaped biological research, arguing for a more accurate and inclusive view of sex and gender. From alternative reproductive strategies to overlapping traits, this episode reveals how nature defies neat categories—and why science should, too.

Sex and Psychology PodcastAre Humans Made To Be Monogamous?Are human beings made for monogamy or non-monogamy? This is a popular subject of debate. While some argue that humans evolved for monogamy in order to ensure parental investment in our offspring, others argue that humans evolved to be non-monogamous because it increases the odds of reproductive success and genetic diversity in our species. So which is it? That’s what we’re going to be talking about today.

In her research laboratory at Hunter College, Dr. Jill Bargonetti uses mouse models to study breast cancer and in this episode, she discuss some of her recent research on how triple-negative breast cancer cells spread through the body. Metastasis – the spreading of cancer cells beyond their initial site of origin – is a milestone event marking a cancer diagnosis as advanced and usually very serious. Dr. Bargonetti helps break down her recent work.

Instead of speaking with a scientist about a recent paper or study, we will explore a tool that anyone - students and researchers alike - can use to explore research in the field of evolutionary psychology. The tool is called PsychTable and it is designed to foster a collaborative space where psychologists and other scientists can work together to gather, organize, propagate, and critique research related to evolutionary psychology. Joining us on this episode are the two co-creators of PsychTable, Mr. Niruban Balachandran and Dr. Daniel Glass.

Human beings are pretty confident by nature. As a species, we are pretty sure that we are at the top of the evolutionary scale. It turns out, this is not true at all. While we are without a doubt at the top of the food chain, there are several species that have remain unchanged for millions of years (the cockroach is a great example). We have changed a lot in the couple hundred thousand years we have been around, and not all of those changes have been perfect.

2019-06-251h 00This World of HumansHippos and River EcologyIn this episode of TWOH, we explore the unique role the hippos play in the ecology of rivers in Africa. These giant semiaquatic animals are vegetarians and move enormous amounts of organic nutrients from the dry land, where they eat, to the river systems, where they rest and, well, defecate. This has a big impact on the ecology of the rivers. As river flow is reduced due to human needs, that effect is amplified and is leading to a waste disposal problem of sorts.

Our guest is Dr. Angela Crossman, chair of the Psychology Department at John Jay College and a developmental psychologist who focused on truthfulness in children. While she often focuses specifically on how to best prepare children for honest eyewitness testimony in court, she also studies lying and truthfulness more generally.

The human lineage and the chimpanzee lineage split around 7 million years ago and, during that time, we have accumulated very few genetic differences despite our very big physical and mental differences. Therefore, discovering and exploring the few genetic differences between humans and chimpanzees is key to understanding what makes us human. Helping us make sense of this complicated work is one of the authors of the study, Dr. Michael C. Campbell from Howard University.
