The Evolution of Human Longevity with Mike Gurven
Podcast: Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast)Published On: Tue Sep 16 2025
Description: Did we evolve to live long lives? Is heart disease a human universal? In this episode, we talk to Mike Gurven (UCSB), who has run a number of large-scale studies on the life and health of non-Western populations (among much, much more). And now, he has a new book out (Seven Decades: How We Evolved to Live Longer) summarizing the big picture of what we've learned so far!
