In this episode, we talk about the evolutionary bases of stereotypes and prejudices; how they work and how they develop; universal stereotypes, related to age, sex, and ecology; xenophobia and ethnocentrism; the correct way to evaluate race stereotypes in the US, and the relationship with life history theory; religion and stereotypes; and how to better fight prejudices and their effects.
