About The Podcast Show

The Primal Biology Show

When I sit down with some of the top experts in biology, we’re diving deep into how all living things are connected.

My love for both biology and adventure drives me to explore the incredible ways nature works, and how our environment shapes not just our bodies, but how we see the world around us.

From the tiniest microorganisms to entire ecosystems, everything plays a role in this intricate web of life. What I’ve learned is that when we start to understand these connections, we see just how closely tied we are to the natural world—and that’s where the real adventure begins.

About The Book

Primal: Power, Status, Sex in Humans and Other Animals

"Primal" explores the significance of social hierarchies in the animal kingdom and their parallels in human society. Through engaging storytelling and rigorous scientific research, I reveal the complex dynamics of power, status, and sex in a wide range of species.

Key Themes:

  • The role of social hierarchies in various species

  • How power and status influence behavior

  • The interplay between sex and social structures

  • Lessons humans can learn from the natural world

A Lifetime of Curiosity and Discovery

Hi, I’m Paul Feldmann. For over forty years, I’ve been captivated by the natural world, driven by a passion to explore the diversity of life on Earth.

With a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Origins of Behavior, an M.S. in Biology, and experience on global research projects—including collaborations with the Smithsonian—I now share my insights through the Primal Biology podcast and my book, Primal.

I started the show to make scientific research accessible and relatable to the public, bridging the gap between complex studies and everyday understanding.
