0:00.0	At no point that I ever have someone say to me,
0:04.1	don't do this, it's not well advised
0:07.2	that I ever listen.
0:08.6	So people said, don't do evolutionary psychology, because even till today, although 30 years on in my career, it's more accepted.
0:18.0	But most social scientists continue to refuse the profoundly obvious idea that humans are biological beings whose minds have been shaped

1:39.6	discuss some of the ideas from his latest book about happiness, in particular Dr Sard's advice
1:44.8	about how to design a career and how to choose a long-term partner. We also
1:50.4	discuss some of the fundamentals of evolutionary psychology and the surprising amount of challenge that still exists towards these ideas. Dr. Surd outlines many compelling scientific and anthropological arguments as to why we should be taking
2:04.4	evolutionary psychology seriously. It was a pleasure to speak to him about these ideas and about
