How do evolutionary behavioral scientists think about the interplay between our psychology and culture? What causes some cultural norms to persist and spread? Do non-Western combatants in war have something like PTSD? In this episode, we explore all of these questions and more with Sarah Mathew (ASU), who talks about her work with the Turkana, and her long-term interest in the interplay between our evolved psychology of cooperation and violence, and the social norms and institutions that push and pull on our evolved psychology.

Hi Ben! Thanks for the feedback. For the record, we both have mics (blue Yeti’s). Whose voice in particular? (Maybe we can tweak things).

Hi. I tried listening to an older episode. One of the David’s needs a new microphone. It is very difficult to hear because the sound is very muffled and has way too much bass. Sorry but sound issues make it basically unlistenable. Just wanted you to know because you can rectify this with a $100 microphone.
