Complexity and Population Density as Drivers of Human-Specific Genes
1:17:22 - 1:28:34 (11:11)
Population density, interactions between different groups, and complexity of human interactions seem to work as drivers of human-specific genes, leading to the development of cultural complexity while violence and interactions between groups lead to the development of cleverness on how to resist it.
Clips
Population density and the number of interactions between different groups are crucial in developing and maintaining expertise, and thus affecting the complexity of human societies.

Summary
Population density and the number of interactions between different groups are crucial in developing and maintaining expertise, and thus affecting the complexity of human societies. Violence and conflicts between groups can also drive the evolution of clever tactics and resistance.

Summary
This podcast discusses the important role of genes in the narrowly defined job of everything required to stay alive, and how this has impacted the structures of different primate societies. It also explores the one-way traffic of genes from humans to the andethyls, rather than the other way around, with Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA found to be very different to human mitochondrial DNA.
