Noggin Notes Podcast - Are We Moving Towards a Better Society or Regressing?

Man is considered the most intelligent amongst all animals. Hence, human beings are not only superior but also evolved, and civilized. Civilization has seen a stark evolution over many decades now for us to stand where we are today. How we perceive "today" and being "evolved" is very subjective.

We are joined by Donald Conte who is a Professor Emeritus, Department of Earth Sciences, California University of Pennsylvania. He is a consultant, author and researcher. He also runs a blog called This Is Not Your Practice Life.
