How did sex begin? How did it evolve to become so varied and complex in humans? And what could sex look like for future generations?  Hosted by evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks, this blush-worthy panel discussion features sex historian Esmé Louise James and historian David Baker. Esmé adapted her wildly popular TikTok series into a book, Kinky History: The Stories of Our Intimate Lives, Past and Present, and David’s Sex: Two Billion Years of Procreation and Recreation charts sex’s evolution from early life to sexbots. Listen now to bone up on carnal knowledge across the centuries and find out what the future of fornication holds.   This event was presented by the Sydney Writers' Festival and supported by UNSW Sydney.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
