This month’s featured video is from biological anthropologist Zaneta Thayer of Dartmouth College. Her 2017 talk at the American Museum of Natural History addresses how trauma, poverty, and racial discrimination create health inequalities. In this talk, Dr. Thayer explores how our evolutionary history shaped our responses to stress and she explains the biological mechanisms through which early life stress influences health later on.
