In this episode of Troubadour, Kirk Barbera sits down with geneticist Razib Khan to explore a provocative question: Does our DNA determine our beliefs and behaviors? Razib, known for his work in population genetics, computational biology, and his blog Unsupervised Learning, delves into the intersection of genetics, free will, and natalism—the movement advocating for increased birth rates. Together, they discuss how genetics informs our understanding of human history, identity, and cultural evolution, and debate whether our DNA might shape our intellectual interests, choices, and even beliefs.
