Here, we discuss everything and nothing, jumping from topics like quantum physics to why pineapple is (or isn’t) a pizza topping—sometimes in the same sentence. Join us as we dive deep into the void of random musings, irrelevant trivia, and obscure pop culture references that are guaranteed to make you giggle, cringe, or wonder if we’ve lost touch with reality (spoiler: we have).","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/spacetomatoes-7531240"},"episode":{"title":"Marc J Defant - Evolutionary Psychology vs. Social Constructionism S2-EP12","slug":"marc-j-defant-evolutionary-psychology-vs-social-constructionism-s2-ep12","published_at":"2026-03-20T23:00:25+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/spacetomatoes-7531240/marc-j-defant-evolutionary-psychology-vs-social-constructionism-s2-ep12","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/spacetomatoes-7531240","url":"https://feeds.fountain.fm/rA9Moeo6g2dpLEniySI7/items/Yi5Py6YjLcHReBSwmWNT/files/VIDEO---DEFAULT---510c3675-14a7-464b-ac95-73427934c0a8.mp4/ORIGINAL.mp3","audio_url":"https://feeds.fountain.fm/rA9Moeo6g2dpLEniySI7/items/Yi5Py6YjLcHReBSwmWNT/files/VIDEO---DEFAULT---510c3675-14a7-464b-ac95-73427934c0a8.mp4/ORIGINAL.mp3","summary":"Join Havok and LX on the Space Tomatoes Podcast for a thoughtful conversation with Dr. Marc J. Defant, professor of geology and geochemistry at the University of South Florida. A scientist whose career began with volcanoes, Dr. Defant brings a data-driven perspective to one of today’s most intriguing debates: evolutionary psychology versus social constructionism. What shapes who we are, biology rooted in hundreds of thousands of years of hunter-gatherer life, or a blank-slate mind shaped only by culture? Dr. Defant explores how instincts, testosterone, gender roles, and evolutionary pressures still influence modern society, relationships, parenting, education, and even campus culture. Expect clear, evidence-based insights on masculinity and femininity, male parental investment, sexual selection, and why recognizing our biological heritage can actually support, rather than undermine, equality and understanding. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the timeless nature-versus-nurture conversation and its real-world implications today. Science-first, respectful, and eye-opening from start to finish.
