The Insane Biological Cost of Living on Mars - Scott Solomon - #1065

Sobre este episódio

Scott Solomon is an evolutionary biologist, professor, and author. Since the earliest days of science fiction, we’ve wondered what it would mean to live on Mars. Today, that question is no longer hypothetical. As humanity moves closer to becoming an interplanetary species, a new question emerges: what happens when humans are born and raised on another world? How would Mars change our bodies, our minds, and the future of evolution? Expect to learn if it is possible for humans to live on Mars, how humans who were born on Mars will evolve with their new environment, if there have ever been any astronauts who have had sex in space, what being on Mars could do to morph the human brain, and how living in space will change our Biology and much more… Timestamps: (0:00) Could We Really Live on Mars?
