Episode 395: LIVE with Herman Pontzer

This episode of the Here We Are podcast was recorded live at the Mind Under Matter Campout Festival in Raleigh, NC at the beautiful Lakeside Retreats. I decided to invite one of my favorite guests and good friend, Herman Pontzer, to talk about some of the evolutionary underpinnings of why we come together and celebrate at festivals.

Herman is an Associate Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology at Duke University, and author of the book, "Burn: New Research Blows the Lid Off How We Really Burn Calories, Lose Weight, and Stay Healthy", which you can check out here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/603894/burn-by-herman-pontzer-phd/

If you're ever in the Raleigh, NC area and in need of a peaceful getaway, swing by our friends at Lakeside Retreats and enjoy yurt rentals, glamping, fishing, paddle boarding, live music, disc golf, biking or walking, and more: https://www.lakeside-retreats.com/

Huge thanks to Chris Buhler from Hygge Production House and Honey Bear, DoubleSaltSteve for filming!
