The Third Chimpanzee — Evolution, Incentives, and Collapse (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The Third Chimpanzee for Young People by Jared Diamond as a systems-level analysis of how evolutionary inheritance, culture, and environment interact to shape human behavior across deep time.
By focusing on patterns rather than individuals, the book reveals why agriculture, social hierarchy, and environmental destruction repeatedly emerge — even when their long-term risks are widely understood.
