Welcome to the Contemplative Primate, where your host Ian Kennedy explores our place in the universe and how to live better lives as humans on Earth. The name of the podcast pays homage to two unifying themes: that we as humans are primates with a psychology and physiology shaped by our evolutionary history; and that we have the unique ability to contemplate our own existence and shape our own behavior. The Contemplative Primate features experts from physics, biology, computer science, neuroscience, psychology, economics, philosophy, and various religious and contemplative traditions.
