Today we welcome Penny Taylor!\nOur guest today has a Master's in Educational Psychology and a unique perspective on life.\nPenelope or \u201cPenny\u201d, thinks cave-dwellers were smart, and that we could learn a lot from how they lived.\nFor the past 3 1/2 years, she has been studying the latest theories in Evolutionary Psychology and no longer believes the time our ancestors spent living in caves should be considered "underdeveloped" or "savage." In her spare time, she has been picking the brains of Evo Psych's most respected researchers and come up with a theory of human behavior that includes every person on the earth.\nThat's because her ideas are based on our human similarities - our biology - instead of our cultural differences, and she wants you to come to the understanding that our emotions, as confusing as they seem sometimes, are here to help us, not hinder us.\n

This is one heck of an episode in which we cover:
\n- Instinct blindness
\n- A certain arrogance to the \u2018homo sapiens\u2019 we are now
\n- Experienced behaviour of urgency, obsession, binge watching TV, avoiding connections with family and family responsibilities \u2013 but didn\u2019t notice these right of the bat
\n- Tree dwellers \u2013 cave dwellers \u2013 house dwellers and the evolutionary psychology related to these stages in evolution
\n- Generalizations in the Epoch (history) of these stages
\n- Tree \u2013 hominids, not a lot of need for communication in the facial expressions or speaking (words) because we had hair\u2026smell of where we were, and what we did, troops of 40
\n- Cave \u2013 troops of 100, storytellers, left the cave and came back (what happened when you were out there? What happened when we left here?). Pictures, words, cave drawings. Roles.
\n- House \u2013 nuclear families are small (2 to 10?), where\u2019s my back up\u2026.I don\u2019t have the numbers around me for back up, where\u2019s my tribe? Who is in my tribe? Communication with technology\u2026emojis, etc.)
\n- IQ boom and value
\n- EQ boom and value
