Over millions of years, male and female bodies developed crucial physiological differences to improve the chances for human survival. These differences have become culturally obsolete with the overturning of traditional gender roles. But they are nevertheless very real, and they go well beyond the obvious sexual and reproductive variances: Men and women differ in terms of digestion, which affects the way medications are absorbed. Sensitivity to pain is dependent on gender.

Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence. And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around.

Dr Jonathan Reisman - physician, adventure traveller and naturalist - allows listeners to navigate their insides like an explorer discovering a new world. Through his offbeat adventures in healthcare and travel, Reisman discovers new perspectives on the body: a trip to the Alaskan Arctic reveals that fat is not the enemy, but the hero; a stint in the Himalayas uncovers the boundary where the brain ends and the mind begins; and eating a sheep's head in Iceland offers a lesson in empathy.

The climate crisis is wreaking havoc across the globe, raising sea levels, disrupting ancient weather patterns and decimating biodiversity worldwide. But new research shows that the warming climate is not just affecting the planet's physical systems - it is affecting us all individually too.

Locked away, remote from the rest of the body in its own custom-built casing of skull bone, with no intrinsic moving parts, the human brain remains a tantalising mystery. But now, more than ever before, we have the expertise to tackle this mystery - the last 20 years have seen astounding progress in brain research. Susan Greenfield begins by exploring the roles of different regions of the brain.

Es ist eine Frage, die sich Menschen seit Tausenden von Jahren stellen: Woher kommen wir? Nach Antworten suchen Fachleute auch in unserer DNA – und hier decken sie einige Sensationen auf. Im Erbgut von Homo sapiens befinden sich nämlich Abschnitte, die gar nicht von den Ahnen unserer Spezies stammen. Neandertaler, Denisovianer und weitere, noch unbekannte Vettern der Gattung Homo haben sich offenbar mit unseren Vorfahren gepaart und so zu unserem Genom beigetragen. Und auch unsere jüngere evolutionäre Vergangenheit hat markante Spuren in unseren Genen hinterlassen.

Aquest audiollibre és un tractat per sobreviure a l'era digital i tornar a donar importància a un dels elements que més ens caracteritza com a humans: les mans.

La reconciliació amb les mans per tornar a fer-les servir pot ser el camí cap a la tranquil·litat i cap a una vida plena, més lenta i menys estressant.

Humans are the only mammals to walk on two, rather than four, legs. From an evolutionary perspective, this is an illogical development, as it slows us down. But here we are, suggesting there must have been something tremendous to gain from bipedalism. First Steps takes our ordinary, everyday walking experience and reveals how unusual and extraordinary it truly is. The seven-million-year-long journey through the origins of upright walking shows how it was in fact a gateway to many of the other attributes that make us human.
