Why do our brains differ—and what does culture have to do with it? In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore new research showing how the human brain rewires at four key stages of life—around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83—and how gender, stress, and culture shape those changes. From hormones to classrooms, parenting to aging, our neural wiring is a biography written by both biology and society. The brain is not fixed—it is biocultural, adapting as our lives unfold.

Humans evolved under open skies and natural rhythms—but now spend 93% of life indoors, breathing filtered air and surrounded by synthetic materials. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore new research suggesting that our modern, industrial environment is outpacing our ability to adapt. From falling fertility rates to weakened immunity and cognitive strain, we may be witnessing an evolutionary mismatch between our biology and the world we’ve built. The question is no longer how fast we can advance—but whether our bodies can keep up.

At Uganda’s Ngamba Island Sanctuary, chimpanzees were given clues to find hidden fruit—and when stronger evidence appeared, they changed their minds. In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I explore what this tells us about belief, bias, and the biology of reasoning. If chimps can update their conclusions when the facts change, why can’t we? From evolution to culture, this episode examines why rationality is not just human—and why evidence, not ego, should guide how we think.
