Was Darwin wrong? The 305th Evolutionary Lens with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying

17 Dec 2025

Description

On this, our 305th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss evolution, including major transitions from sea to land (early amphibians), and back again (e.g. whales), and the evidence. Where should we expect gaps in the fossil record, and why? How are adaptations to space and time analogous to one another? Then: lab grown pig fat is combined with plant protein and turned into meatballs that pretend to be pork. What could go wrong? Prediction: they’ll be carcinogenic. Finally: GLP-1s—e.g. Ozempic—have so many side effects. Now on people’s radar: they decrease drive and pleasure in all things, including libido.*****Our sponsors:Everyday Dose: Coffee plus collagen, mushrooms & nootropics – delicious!
