I love this episode where I talked with historian Daniele Bolelli. In it we talked about a huge number of topics including... His process of researching and producing History on Fire, one of the leading history podcasts How to get rid of weight cutting in mixed martial arts competition The evidence for and against an ultra-violent human past vs a peaceful noble savage model of our hunter-gatherer past. The rise of MMA in Asia. Daniele's proposed 'Gladiators for World Peace' program and how it's going to get him the Nobel Peace Prize His return to Italy as a tourist Is it too soon to tell whether we're moving towards a more peaceful future? Ötzi the iceman, Neanderthal DNA in our genomes, and a mass murder that occurred 430,000 years ago (http://bit.ly/1JYX91M) And much more!
