Wonderful work on the relationship between sleep, health, and social threat -- and so proud to be a collaborator with the intrepid @eric_shattuck !
Congratulations to our PhD Student @leela_mckinnon for being awarded the prestigious General Motors Women in Science and Mathematics Award from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the University of Toronto!
Dreams, so many mysteries surrounding them. 🛌💭 Well, based on research spearheaded by @Primalprimate and @noorabbas98, their latest paper in Scientific Nature Reports reveals that dreams may serve as an emotional adaptive function. Read more at utm.utoronto.ca/main-news/drea….

This is the operative question for our species:
In this article by @NextBigIdeaClub, I explore the function of tribes, how identity warps perception, 21st century campcrafting, the power of rituals, and the promise of a tribalism vaccine. Join the conversation here: nextbigideaclub.com/magazine/triba… @stmartinpress
My interview with Brian Bethune @TorontoStar dropped today: "Creating a better future: How to take our instinct to belong to a group and turn it into a force for good." thestar.com/entertainment/…
Excited to share another response to Our Tribal Future! Prof. @jayvanbavel, author of The Power of Us, states: "Tired of feeling like an outsider? Long to be part of something bigger? Look no further... A must-read for understanding group dynamics in the modern world." 🌍🌟…
Only 2 weeks until book launch! 🚀 @HermanPontzer, author of "Burn", says, “Samson makes a compelling case that our species’ future depends on how well we understand and control our tribal future.”🙏 Coming May 30th: read.macmillan.com/lp/our-tribal-…

Struggling with the switch to daylight savings time? According to Dr. David Samson’s research, the majority of people experiencing sleep problems can make improvements through their own behaviours. 🥱⏰😴 #UTM #anthropology thestar.com/life/2023/03/1… via @TorontoStar
Neanderthals were morning-larks! Archaic ancestral populations appear to have 26 circadian loci that indicate their genomes were adapted for morning activity.
Contrary to the popular belief? This article features @Primalprimate’s scientific discovery on the evolution of human sleep and his social-sleep hypothesis! theatlantic.com/science/archiv… #primatesleep #sleepresearch
