How, from an evolutionary perspective, do we as humans continue to pass along information? Well, according to Dr. Roy Casagrande, women, and more specifically, grandmothers, have evolved to no longer reproduce at a certain age but continue to live longer to educate younger generations. This phenomenon aligns with the “grandmother hypothesis,” a theory suggesting that female humans live far beyond their reproductive years to provide care for grandchildren and ensure the survival of their lineage. Beyond caregiving, grandmothers provide priceless wisdom and experience, transferring knowledge about survival, social structures, and cultural traditions. This extended post-reproductive lifespan has given human communities an evolutionary advantage by strengthening intergenerational bonds and facilitating the sharing of essential skills and stories. In a broader sense, it’s a testament to how humanity has developed unique mechanisms, rooted in relationships and education, to preserve and pass down collective knowledge, ensuring the continuity of culture and progress. Grandmothers, as the theory suggests, are at the heart of this ❤️

Oil for Empire (1/5)  This is part 1 of a 5-part series on Iran’s modern political history. At the turn of the 20th century, Britain made a stunning oil deal with Iran. They got 84% of the profits. Iran got… opium and a promise. This is how Western control began.   https://youtu.be/4CsJPrHcaBs   #CasagrandaExplains #IranHistory #OilPolitics
