    Not the most rigorous lecture, but its well presented, and it is cited by current researchers as one of their influences.

    The discussion of the cecum/apendix is quite compelling, as well as brain shrinkage. (We are still getting more research on this even today).

    The bit about religious texts probably doesn’t land as well today, but it is good storytelling.
