Now let's head to the show.

Hey, folks.

In this week's show, we are very lucky to have Peter Unger, who is as high as you get on the academic totem pole regarding evolution.

He is a paleo-anthropologist, evolutionary biologist.

He formerly taught at John Hopkins School of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center.

He's published. He's consulted for documentaries.

He's studied extensively hominid evolution. He even has a lab named after him. So he is a big

cheese in this field, and I was fortunate to get connected with him via Aaron Blaisdale, who we spoke

with recently about gut evolution in the context of determining what the ideal

carbohydrate consumption may be today.

And I want to do a follow-up call with Peter, who's very, very well versed in early hominated

evolution, dietary evolution.

And we didn't get incredibly, incredibly deep, so I don't think anyone will get lost, but just nice to have an expert in this field kind of help fact check and help guide us through some of these issues in evolution that aren't always super straightforward.

And he had a few really, really interesting tidbits that he shared with us, and it was just a great conversation, so I hope you will enjoy it.

Hey, folks, this is Michael Rucho, and I'm here with Peter Unger, who I'm very, very excited and happy to have on the show.

Hey, Peter, how are you doing?
