Listen "The Evolution of Tutoring"
Episode Synopsis
Tutoring was not invented; it evolved. It evolved for a purpose. Even though it has never been free, in some circumstances, it has been worth the cost since the dawn of humanity. That purpose and that cost are still very relevant topics in modern Western societies. Join me and Professor Sheina Lew-Levy of Durham University, UK as we probe the prehistoric origins of costly education itself. Dr. Lew-Levy is an anthropologist and psychologist who studies educational practices of forager (or hunter-gatherer) people in order to search for clues about the role teaching and learning played in our shared evolutionary origins.
