Dr. Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary biologist, thought leader, and fearless challenger of conventional wisdom. With a PhD from the University of Michigan, he spent 14 years as a professor at Evergreen State College before resigning in 2017 after taking a principled stand for free inquiry and open debate. His research has reshaped our understanding of evolutionary trade-offs, from the development of cancer to the role of moral self-sacrifice in human societies.
Today, Bret is exploring large-scale patterns in human history and searching for a game-theoretic roadmap to a more stable future. He co-authored A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century with his wife, Dr. Heather Heying, and together they host the DarkHorse Podcast, where they tackle science, politics, and culture through the lens of evolutionary biology. Whether challenging mainstream narratives or unlocking deep biological insights, Bret remains a relentless advocate for truth and intellectual courage.
