On this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer explore everything from primate behavior to exploding volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io.
They discuss research suggesting same-sex behavior in primates may strengthen social bonds during stressful times, dive into evolution and extinction, debate ants versus humans as “apex” species, and unpack a testosterone experiment in lizards that shows how aggression and risk can come with serious biological costs.
The conversation then shifts toward AI, algorithms, and how technology may subtly nudge our decisions, before heading into space to explain Io’s massive volcanic eruptions and how similar physics may have helped astronomers detect one of the first possible exomoons.
It’s a wide-ranging, curiosity-driven discussion about biology, evolution, technology, and astronomy.
