'Wild Genius' traces the history of Robert Trivers

from his youth and mental health challenges, his experiences in the 60’s, his seminal

work in the seventies that upended

evolutionary paradigms and his

collaborative work with Black

Panthers’ Huey P. Newton and

beyond. Filmed in Berlin, New

Jersey and Jamaica, Wild Genius is

more than a spirited and provocative

biography, it's a journey into the

deepest corners of human nature,

and every other organism, decoded

by one of evolution's most daring

thinkers.

 

 

“If Trivers is not better known, that may

be because he has struggled with
bipolardisorder since his youth. He

is also, by his own admission, an
irascible anti-authoritarian,

whose sharp tongue

often gets him into trouble.”
