Ancient Instincts

Modern humans live in a world our brains were never designed for.

Ancient Instincts explores why we still think, feel, and behave the way we do through the lens of evolution, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology.

Why does rejection hurt so much?
Why do we fear the dark?
Why can't we stop comparing ourselves to others?
Why does a work email trigger the same stress systems that once helped our ancestors survive predators?

Using simple stickman animations and science-backed storytelling, we uncover the ancient survival instincts still shaping modern life.
