“Wild Genius traces the history of Robert Trivers from his youth and mental health challenges, his experiences in the 1960s, his seminal work in the 1970s that upended scientific paradigms and his collaborative work with Black Panther leader Huey P. Newton and beyond,” reads the official synopsis. “Filmed in New Jersey, Germany, 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, transforming our understanding of conflict, cooperation, and life itself. Robert Trivers is not just a man; he’s a revolution in thought.”
