The Evolution of Our Stress Physiology | Zaneta Thayer | TEDxIndianapolis

Don’t sweat the small stuff: Stress and human evolution – People are stressed. Interestingly, the sources of stress, as well as the biological impacts of different types of stress, can vary substantially. Taking a cue from evolutionary insights into how our stress physiology systems evolved, Zaneta Thayer uses these principles to explore effective means of taming our anxiety. Dr. Zaneta Thayer is an Assistant Professor at Dartmouth University. She is a biological anthropologist interested in understanding how (biological mechanisms) and why (evolutionary origins) environmental experiences shape patterns of human biology and health. One important application of this interest is understanding how social inequalities create health inequalities. As such, her research has focused on evaluating how factors such as poverty, trauma, and racial discrimination affect health. Zaneta’s overall research goal is to contribute findings of interest to both evolutionary anthropologists and public health professionals. She is strongly motivated to increase public understanding of evolution, developmental plasticity, and how the social construction of race can shape patterns of biological difference. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
