My guest today is Stone Age Herbalist – dissident anthropologist, author of the Grey Goose Chronicles on Substack, and also of several books, including a new one titled 'Demon Bats & Cocaine Mummies.'

We spoke about two hunter gatherer groups that could be regarded as atheistic: the Pirahã of the Amazon, and the Comanche of North America. Do these examples disprove the claim that religion is a human universal?

We also spoke about the invention of 'two spirit' as an anthropological concept, and its murky origins in the gay liberation movement of mid-twentieth century America.
