0:00What do you think I should say to my future son about the world that he's growing up in

0:12in terms of the mismatch between our evolution and his natural hardwiring?

0:19Wow, what a great question.

0:21So there is something called the mismatch hypothesis, an evolutionary theory, which basically

0:27says that many problems that we face today arise out of a mismatch of a phenomenon that

0:36was adaptive in our ancestral past, but is no longer adaptive in our contemporary modern

0:41world.
