The Simian Story podcast

Where did we come from, and where are we going?

Hosted through an anthropological and deeply human lens, The Simian Story explores the evolutionary roots and the complex structures and systems of the modern world.

It strips away the noise to examine the human animal—how we adapt, decide, and navigate existence across time.

Is the current way of living serving us? If not, how should it be designed?

Welcome to The Simian Story. This is a podcast about the tension between human biology and rigid structures, and wishful thinking. It's an exploration of decision-making, power, curiosity, and the true self—challenging the myth of rationality that dominates today's human lives.

Through deep conversations, anthropological insights, and pragmatic realism, we peel back the layers of money, systems, and human behaviour. We talk to thinkers, doers, and experts who aren't afraid to ask: How do we live and work in a way that actually serves us as human beings? If you're curious about what lies beneath the surface of modern society and ready to question the status quo, subscribe to The Simian Story now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube. The journey is just beginning.

This is the starting point of the journey towards understanding what human really is. In this episode you will hear the background of why this journey emerged. You will meet the host, Matias.
