• Major themes:
o Evolution
o Balance
o Connection
o Function
• Evolution
o Nothing makes sense unless in the light of evolution
o Anatomical traits, biology, physiology, psychology
o Genes can control behavior
o Things we do well: long distance running
▪ Shaped to remember where water is, organizing things to space
▪ Organize things to stories
• Balance
o Physiology is built for growth and change
o We are meant to hang out in grinding zone rather than balance

o Build in time to rest/recover
• Connection
o How fast we are able to connect things
o Nervous system
o Deeper in the brain is more important structures
o All of brain is working at all of the time
o Law of contiguity
o Neural networks get created
• Function
o Homonuclus
o Hearing process
o Synesthesia
o Vision process – backwards
• Epigenetics
o Lamarkican evolution
o Traits that you will pass down
o Single giraffe is long neck so child is going to have a long neck
o Black smith with big frame so child will get it too
