Nick talks to genetic engineer Dr. Alina Chan about the ongoing mystery of the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. They discuss Alina's new book, "Viral: The Search For the Origin of COVID-19," which she co-wrote with science writer Matt Ridley. The book thoroughly documents the events, people, and developments relevant to COVID's origins.
They discuss everything from the original SARS-1 epidemic in China, wildlife spillover vs. accidental lab leak hypotheses; pangolins, bats, and other potential intermediate host species; the SARS-CoV-2 genome; institutions and people like Francis Collins, the NIH, WHO, and EcoHealth Alliance; and whether or not we will likely solve this mystery.

Drs. Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer discuss how diets that humans evolved to eat compare to other animals, and whether there is an optimal human diet, in terms of macronutrient composition, for things like longevity, body weight, or reproductive success. Are these diets more plant-based or vegan? More animal-based or carnivore? Or are they highly diverse & omnivorous?
The discussion is based on their book, "Eat Like the Animals: What Nature Teaches Us About the Science of Healthy Eating."
