Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by a returning guest, Dr. Michael Gervin. He is a professor in the Department of Anthropology at University of California, Santa Barbara. He's also part of the Integrative Anthropological Sciences Unit.
and also associate director of the evolutionary anthropology and biodemography research group there and today we're going to talk about his book Seven Decades, How We Evolved to Live Longer. And it's a very nice cover and nice book. So Dr. Gervan, welcome back to the show. It's always a pleasure to talk with you.
Yeah, thank you so much for having me on. Uh you know, I I thought we last talked a few years ago and then you tell me it was six years ago. So I don't know, time is flying by. Yeah, I mean six years ago I also had a completely different haircut, so you know. Hey, you still have hair, that's the important part.
