This week on the podcast we talk to Herman Pontzer, who is an evolutionary anthropologist and a professor at Duke University. Within this field, Herman’s main interest lies in researching how our evolutionary past has shaped our bodies and how it affects the way our bodies work in today’s modern world.
Press play to learn the basics of metabolism and to hear about some of Herman’s focus areas, such as how our bodies burn calories and what factors influence our total energy expenditure!
