About this episode

🍆 welcome BACK to season 4 episode 5 of the @SoCulturedPodcast ! This season is all about discovering science through the lens of history, and in today’s episode we are delving into the origins of Sex!


❓Where did Sex originate? Where did humans think babies came from through time? Why did we think tiny humans were in sperm cells? How has it evolved from small cellular organisms to today? We’re exploring it all! 🐸


😳We are also bringing you a listener story seeking our help on what they should do about a scandalous lab crush! Is Gavin a f*ckboy? Should our listener pursue it? We discuss it all!
