The Weekend UniversityThe Evolutionary Origins of Human Culture – Professor Bill von HippelThe most basic aspects of our psychology were shaped by the “social leap” our distant ancestors made from the rainforest to the savannah.

In this talk I trace our evolutionary history over the last six million years to show how events in our distant past guide our lives today.
