In this episode of Curiosity Theory, Dr. Dakotah Tyler and Justin Shaifer sit down with neuroscientist and evolutionary biologist Dr. Melise Edwards to explore the biology of behavior and the limits of human control. They discuss how genetics and environment interact to shape conditions like autism and schizophrenia, the role of bias in medical diagnoses, and what evolutionary biology reveals about differences in aging and disease. The conversation also dives into behavioral plasticity, sex differences in the brain, and whether free will actually exists, raising deeper questions about how much control we really have over who we become.
