The Neanderthal Mind

Welcome again Cave Dwellers and Thank You for joining me on another episode of The Neanderthal Mind. Today we sit down with Jeremy DeSilva. Jeremy, or "Jerry" as he sometimes prefers, is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Dartmouth College. He is a paleoanthropologist, specializing in the locomotion of the first apes and early human ancestors, (hominoids & hominins respectfully). His particular anatomical expertise-- the human foot and ankle-- has contributed to our understanding of the origins and evolution of upright walking in the human lineage. He has studied wild chimpanzees in Western Uganda and early human fossils in Museums throughout Eastern and South Africa. From 1998-2003, Jerry worked as an educator at the Boston Museum of Science and continues to be passionate about science education. He is the author of the 2021 book First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human. Jerry lives in Norwich, VT with his wife Erin and their twins Ben and Josie. Dr. DeSilva has also been involved with some of the more recent, history making discoveries from Rising Star, as well as the Famous footprints of Laetoli. It was an awesome conversation and an unparalleled education for me in Neanderthal Cousins and Early Human Ancestors. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I will see you on the flip side Cave Dwellers.Twitter: @desilva_jerryWeb Site: https://sites.dartmouth.edu/desilva/

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome my Cave Dwellers. Thank You for joining me on this next episode of The Neanderthal Mind. Today we talk with Dr. Hogan Sherrow, and to start, I want to send out A huge THANK YOU!!! to him, for joining me on The Neanderthal Mind Podcast. Here is a little about Dr. Sherrow: Dr. Hogan Sherrow is a Fulbright Scholar and has a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Anthropology from Yale University. He has studied the behavior and ecology of humans and other animals on three different continents, specializing in the evolution of political behavior, tribalism, leadership, and aggression. Some of his recent writings focus on the evolutionary origins of the Texas and Taliban attempts to control women and the existence and danger of the cult of trump. Hogan now consults for individuals, organizations, and campaigns as Owner of You Evolving, LLC, www.you-evolving.com. In this episode, Dr. Sherrow and I get into his Business and podcast called You Evolving. Dr. Sherrow addresses, "When scientists talk about the evolutionary reason for a behavior, they are not assigning merit to that behavior, or condoning it, they are simply finding the source of it. It is up to us as individuals and as groups and societies to determine what is morally acceptable and hold individuals to those standards". We also discuss, what Dr. Sherrow thinks is the best trait we inherited from our Neanderthal/Early Human Ancestors, as well as, what his studying of primates, insinuate about male Dominance in relationships, and so much more. I absolutely enjoyed my conversation with Dr. Sherrow, as I know my "Cave Dweller Community" will enjoy as well, and of course, all of Dr. Sherrows’ links will be included in the Show notes. As I always say, sit back, relax and enjoy the show. I will see you on the flip side Cave Dwellers.https://www.facebook.com/YouEvolvinghttps://twitter.com/YouEvolvinghttps://www.instagram.com/youevolving/https://www.linkedin.com/in/hogan-m-sherrow-ph-d-56374319/https://anchor.fm/hogan-sherrow

Dr. Sambataro is the author of the Emotional Budgeting Workbooks for Adults and a Youth Version, coined the term "Emotional Budgeting" in 2001 to describe the action of training the mind to intake information and file it quickly to reduce stress and anxiety. In this episode, we discuss topics such as, Value connection between all of us, which is basically seeing the good in everyone, despite our race, sexual orientation, or beliefs. The interactions between Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens, to include the possible causes of the extinction of The Neanderthal. How an increase in caring capacity set the Homo Sapiens on the path of domination. Environmental pressures on brain evolution, behavior, interactions, and adaptation. The cognitive function of Neanderthals. How Autism and Bi-Polar designations may have been beneficial for our Neanderthal Ancestors, which seems to come up in quit a few of my interviews. We talk about the Emotional Workbook, created by Dr. Sambataro, which is set up somewhat like a Financial Budget where, what you take in and what you put out could cause an emotional deficiency in your psyche. We also get into how important it could be to your mental wellbeing, to be able to create a filing cabinet in your mind, to help you organize your emotions. Finally, we touch on Dr. Sambataro’s new media empire, Foo Foo Media.

HELLO Cave Dweller Community. Let me start off with an apology. I have not put an episode out in over 3 weeks! I have no excuses, but I do apologize! But I am back and starting off STRONG with this weeks Guest. Toby Pasman is a Neurophysiology Researcher, who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Joining a research lab called the Brain Development Lab, Toby worked on what was called the emotions and neuroplasticity project, basically looking at the brain and heart electrical recordings that are associated with different sort of emotional states. Toby has been working the past couple years at Peak Performance Center up in Seattle, working to train the brain, train the electrical activity of the brain, through various technologies. Toby has spent about a little over a year at an Addiction Medicine Center in Florida, also utilizing these technologies to treat patients diagnosed with addiction problems along with mental health issues. We touch a little on ECG (electroencephalography), that's basically a tool used by researchers to measure the brain's electrical activity. Toby and I cover the subjects of, neurofeedback, biofeedback, transcranial stimulation, and PMF (Post Electromagnetic Frequencies. I will let Toby explain to the Cave Dweller Community, what all those words mean. We talk about enhancing cognition, nootropics, meditation, parasympathetic and sympathetic. He is currently working on his Master's of Psychology at Lynn University and running Roscoe's Wetsuit Neuro Podcast, his applied neuroscience and psychology show. His show can be found at his Youtube channel Roscoe's Wetsuit along with audio versions of the podcast available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and just about anywhere else you can listen to podcasts. OK, you get the picture, Toby is about to lay down some serious psych on us and tie it all into the Neanderthal Mind and how it affects us today.

Welcome back Cave Dwellers. I am sure you have been wildly anticipating this next episode, part 2 of my conversation with Rebecca Wragg Sykes. Rebecca is the author of a number one selling, critically acclaimed book, titled: Kindred, Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art. In this second episode, Rebecca and myself go deeper into the origin of the name Neanderthal. A name that, if it didn’t exist, this podcast would not exist, at least in this context, I guess. Serendipity? Maybe. Fate? Possibly. Reality? Obviously, definitely! We go a little deeper into the history of Neanderthals, and the important discoveries that have thrust the Neanderthal life into the lime lite. As always, I like to ask the experts who their influencers are and were, and what knowledge they are indulging on and where from, which we go into. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Ill see you on the flip side Cave Dwellers..
