Whether you believe that humans and other species have evolved or you believe in a creator of living things, this episode is going to excite you or challenge you to think outside the box. Both scenarios are worthwhile, as Tom is joined by the world renowned evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins. Trying to fully grasp how the human mind works and what role evolution plays with our emotions, thought processes and sexual selection can be overwhelming. Tom highlights the inspiring works from Richard and discusses some complex ideas from his latest book, Books Do Furnish A Life. This is a deep dive into what evolution is, and raises the question of whether or not science, technology, and the human search for meaning and exploration has surpassed our basic evolutionary need for survival. Where does that leave humanity and what options are potential solutions worth exploring?\xa0Order Richard Dawkins new book, Books Do Furnish A Life: https://amzn.to/39fEeSU\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES:\xa0\n0:00 | Introduction Richard Dawkins \n1:34 | How The Mind Works \n7:28 | Nature of Thought & Emotion \n14:01 | Emergent Properties Beyond Survival \n21:13 | Lack Of Evolving Creativity \n29:30 | The Great Leap Forward \n30:46 | Evolution of Sexual Selection \n41:25 | The Handicap Principle \n45:17 | Human Sexual Selection \n57:13 | Genetic Variance \n1:04:07 | Finding Origin of Life \n1:10:55 | Natural Selection & DNA \n1:27:29 | Writing Sci-Fi & Morality \n1:37:58 | Hard Problem of Consciousness \n1:41:32 | Memes + Hyper Connectivity\xa0\n\nFollow Richard Dawkins: \nWebsite: https://richarddawkins.net/ \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/rdfrs \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsFoundation/ \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/richard_dawkins/ \nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/richarddawkinsdotnet\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nIndeed: Get a FREE $75 CREDIT to upgrade your job post at indeed.com/IMPACT \nThryve: Get 70% off your at-home gut health test at trythryve.com/impact \nSkillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for a 1 month FREE trial of Premium Membership. \nUprising: Go to uprisingfood.com/IMPACT to get $10 off the starter bundle. \nUpstart: UPSTART.com/IMPACT \nInsideTracker: Get 25% off their entire store at insidetracker.com/impacttheory \n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
