YouTube Description
as posted by the channel**Note from AHS**
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the first five minutes of Dr. Saad's talk were not captured and the audio quality is quite poor. We and Dr. Saad are aware of this. Because the talk was so well received, he requested we go ahead and publish the video.
Thankfully, AHS13 attendee Charlie Hudson, managed to capture audio for 21 talks, including this one. The audio captures (and videos) are available on our AHS13 playlist:

Abstract:
I offer a synopsis of my work in the evolutionary consumption area. This will be achieved by discussing key tenets from my books (The Consuming Instinct and The Evolutionary Bases of Consumption) including that: (1) many consumption acts can be mapped onto four key Darwinian modules (survival, mating, kin selection, and reciprocal altruism); and (2) cultural products (e.g., song lyrics, movie plotlines) are fossils of the human mind that highlight a shared biological-based human nature.
