    I've been seeing those lectures on the right-hand side of my screen for over a year. Finally, after being too bored I checked what prof. Sapolsky has to say and God forgive me, these are the best lectures I've ever heard. I mean, they are not only well presented and intelligently entertaining but also contain a magnitude of useful information. Thank you, sir.

      He reminds me of my anatomy and physiology teacher in college. Two full quarters, six months of lectures. He never missed a beat, never cracked a book, he just went by some outline in his brain, which he transferred to the board. One thing for sure, every word he said would show up on his WEEKLY test.

      If you listened- facial hair being a secondary sex characteristic, it means whatever his professor salary is, it’s sufficient to let him eat enough to divert a bunch of calories into survival-superfluous sexual dimorphic biology, and the grey says his immune system is robust enough that he can do this even past prime immediate post-adolescent years.
      Now we just gotta see how well he dances.
      No offense, Dr. Sapolsky.

      YEs BUT also those sexual preferences a nice guy 5ft 4in my height, a pretty face like a girl...small jaw, pretty eyes, not a low voice, slight body build...if hes nice to me great, I have just met a friend..not about to mate with him. Same for guys you hear all the time when you offer to introduce a guy to your best female friend and then say...she has a great personality or she's really nice and the guy says oh yeah....ugly huh? Thank goodness I had a waist 10 inches smaller than chest and hips , was short 5ft 4in, cause working against me was higher IQ, more higher education, not overtly highly agreeable ie popular bec. shy, introvert, high in conscientiousness. Based on my shyness, bookishness, introversion, unwillingness to go to parties, bars, sports games, so without the looks I NEVER would have found a mate. Thanks to my hip waist ratio blessed forebears!

      I married someone when I was young who was a different religion HUGE problems with his mother over it. DIfferent national backgrounds WASP vs 2nd gen Italian..his mother was so upset I wasn't Italian, totally different expectations of what each genders role should be in the family...SHE drove us to divorce...he wasn't about to leave Mama...had to.live close to her and she was pure hell for me. He chose Mama..I chose freedom. Later at 32 I met my current mate of 40,yrs...exact same social class, income level of family of origin, same expectations and yes we were nice to each other AND highly attracted to each other phsyically...same hobbies sailing, reading etc etc...by first husband had never been on a sailboat on his life, immigrant class and values. Current mate several degrees, same as me, first one no college and when I went to college his mother said only fancy people go to college, huh? My family traveled as do we now abroad, his family never traveled more than 20 miles from home EVER in their lives and had no desire to do SO! WE believed in delayed gratification saving for the future...his family believed spend it while you have it, ALL of it. Totally a recipe for future poverty. FIrst marriage totally mismatched...current, perfectly matched and HAPPY!

      This professor came from extremely intelligent parents, with a wealthy upbringing and private education, and has more post-secondary education than 97% of Americans over 25 at the time of this lecture. He was also recognized as gifted at an early age. He’s literally been given every advantage in life to reach his full potential. And “we” the viewers get the benefits of that upbringing.
      So if we could convince the rest of American with this level of opportunity to turn around choose to teach, we’d have better teachers all over.

    Coming to this particular lecture 17, the Professor talks about Hip-waist ratio, I think it maybe true even ignoring modern western standards. If we look art - sculptures, images in most cultures for centuries, most idealized female portraits are with extreme Hip-Waist ratio. This is true even before many cultures had contacted each other.

    at 17:25 SP wonders how a woman's face could become "more symmetrical" during ovulation and the answer is quite simple really - women swell up when ovulating, get plumper, which would round out features in the face that are otherwise more angular when the woman is not ovulating.

    Whitman did his killings in 1966. He did not kill himself. Three policemen and a civilian climbed up the tower to confront Whitman. One of the policemen killed Whitman after the other had fired several shots and missed.

      I think you could kind of argue it was suicide by cop. He wrote his last messages knowing he was going to die.

    There's at least one study that found out that there's no significant correlation between ovulation and preference for masculine facial traits when you use pictures of real men rather than the digital face that women were able to morph as more or less masculine by moving a slider. It could be that it's still happening to some degree, but being obfuscated by other variables, but I think it could also be that the original finding may be a combination of biased experiment design and maybe even W.E.I.R.D. people.
    Curiously, coincidentally today I found out that there's a "boy band" in China whose singers/dancers are all actually girls, not even that tomboyish, but sort of trying to be androgynous.

    FYI Cesare Lombroso was the criminologist who stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone "born criminal" could be identified by physical defects, which confirmed a criminal as savage, or atavistic.

    • @patnolen8072

      Yes - when Sapolsky mentions the studies of photographs of criminals faces, those were Lombroso's studies.
