## Resource

Did civilization slow human evolution—or speed it up? New research suggests that the rise of agriculture triggered a wave of genetic adaptations, reshaping how humans process food, fight disease, and survive in crowded societies. By analyzing thousands of ancient genomes, scientists are uncovering how culture and biology evolved together, leaving a lasting imprint on who we are today. This episode includes AI-generated content.
