About this episode

This episode explores the role of buttholes in human evolution and consciousness.

Buttholes may be the key to human evolution. It might sound insane, but the need for animals to evolve relied on us being a "tube" - what makes us a tube? Having a mouth and an anus. It turns out our buttholes are potentially an integral part of our ability to evolve consciousness? What is going on here? Today we will explain the science of buttholes. We will explain how they work, some fascinating facts and also relate them to your life now - and how they evolved millions of years ago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
