The Paleo Garden Podcast returns!: Dr. Catherine Salmon, evolutionary psychologist

After a hiatus spent improving our podcast and ramping up our site, we are back with The Paleo Garden Podcast. It was a pleasure to talk to Dr. Catherine Salmon, an evolutionary psychologist at the University of Redlands.

Dr. Salmon provided a great overview of her path to researching evolutionary psychology. The topics ranged from female eating disorders, inclusive fitness (a type of “fitness” we should all consider in our own lives), the male fascination with female flesh, and many many more interesting insights.

She is the co-editor and author of “Family Relationships: An Evolutionary Perspective” and the author of ”Warrior Lovers.”

In addition to listening to Dr. Salmon’s podcast interview, I encourage you to check out her paper on the evolutionary context of female anorexic behavior. Check out Dr. Salmon!, and let us know what you think about some of the points she has to make.

It was great to have Lorette Luzajic for our 2^nd guest on our podcast show. I’ll leave it to the interview to introduce you to Lorette. To learn more about Lorette, who will be a regular contributor to The Paleo Garden, please go to the Bio tab.

Please go here to check out Lorette’s recently published book, Weird Monologues for a Rainy Life (irreverent ramblings from the end of the world). I’m about 1/3 of the way through, and it’s fantastic. It has made me that much more excited to see what Lorette has in store for the Paleo/Evolutionary Fitness community via her contributions here at The Paleo Garden. Check out the podcast to find out!

Here is our first interview with Todd Shackelford, evolutionary psychologist and director of the Evolutionary Psychology Lab of Florida Atlantic University.

It was great talking with Todd. I couldn’t think of a better first guest for what we’re trying to do here with The Paleo Garden. Unfortunately, the recording came out really bad. I was just learning how to do podcasting, and my equipment was woefully inadequate. I have marked on my calendar to use this as a great excuse to ask Todd to join us again in a year. The good news is that I learned from my mistakes, and the next interview will sound one thousand percent better.
