  • The Science of Stories: Why do we tell them?
    May 17 2024

    Storytelling! Why do we read books? Why do we tell each other stories of the past? Why is this, uniquely human behaviour, ubiquitous across the human race and prevalent in every single culture? Well, sit back and relax this week as we aim to explore just that! Tom explores the evolution of storytelling, was this a relatively new human tradition or did it evolve in a way that was vital to our survival? Mitch looks at the brain regions associated with reading and why it makes us feel the way we do. The boys also explore emotion, storytelling as therapy, and aphantasia/hyperphantasia.
