    Beat Your Genes Podcast

    Evolutionary psychology with Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Nathan Gershfeld, D.C.

    Most psychology advice treats your brain like a broken machine. Beat Your Genes starts somewhere different: your instincts aren’t broken. They’re just optimized for a Stone Age environment that no longer exists.

    Dr. Lisle – Evolutionary psychologist, former Stanford lecturer, and co-author of The Pleasure Trap – has spent decades developing frameworks that explain human behavior from the ground up.

    Nathan Gershfeld, D.C. – trained first as an electrical engineer and then spent 14 years as a Doctor of Chiropractic. He brings a systems thinker’s curiosity to every conversation. He mostly lets Dr. Lisle talk.

    Topics include relationships and attraction, self-esteem, personality, depression and anxiety, willpower, the ego trap, and how pushy people exploit agreeable ones.

    380+ episodes. New episodes every other week.

    17: Dr. Lisle on Polyamory, Pair Bonds, and Love | Live Caller Jun 02, 2016
    Show notes

    A listener named Nigel calls in convinced he's found a third option between monogamy and casual sex: deep, meaningful romantic connection with more than one person at the same time. Dr. Lisle tells him it's not a strategy that flies, and he explains exactly why your female partner's brain cannot register "deep meaning" and "shared with others" in the same breath. What follows is one of the clearest explanations of human mating psychology in the entire archive.

    In this extended caller episode, Dr. Lisle walks through the two mating strategies that live inside every human, why the egalitarian tribe described in books like Sex at Dawn never existed, how women calibrate male gene quality through looks and smell, why homosexuality persists in the gene pool, and why the "love chip" running in your brain was only engineered to last about five years. He also addresses hybrid vigor myths, calibration in the mating market, and why long-term marriage is a modern social invention the Stone Age brain was never built for.

    Key question covered: Can you really have deep, meaningful romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time, and is polyamory a valid evolutionary strategy?

    Beat Your Genes is co-hosted by evolutionary psychologist Dr. Doug Lisle, PhD and Dr. Nathan Gershfeld, DC.

    Show notes

    Have the dating games changed in 2 million years? Dr. Lisle reacts to a funny clip about why dating is so frustrating for women in the modern world. Why do women complain about men? Why do men complain about women?

    14: The Evolution of Relations in the Human Species May 17, 2016
    Show notes

    In terms of human history, how did the idea of "locking someone into a relationship" develop? Dr. Lisle discusses the evolution of relations in the human species eventually getting to why are people winding up in a relationship that they feel they have to stay in. There is a brief discussion about the book Sex at Dawn and the argument for polyamory.

    We find out that the modern world brings modern dilemnas in dating but we still operate under the same psychology as that of our ancient ancestors.

    10: Biological Clock, Sexual Variety, Settling Down, & Male Groupies Apr 21, 2016
    Show notes

    A follow-up to last week's episode, we will be going over more common mistakes that we all make in the mating dance that is dating.

    If you've ever had a dating experience where you felt you coudn't control yourself or the eventual outcome, that was your genes compelling you to behave in a certain way. This is a double-edged sword. On one hand, you can be optimizing your genes surviving but on the other hand, it may be detrimental to long-term happiness.

    We have evolved to enjoy the pursuit of love & sex through dating and relationships. In this episode we discuss how we can optimize happiness in this area by beating our genes.
