We Used to Eat Animals the Right Way - Here’s What Changed

Dr. Bill Schindler explains why the processes we have in place today in the food industry lead to a less healthy and enriched lifestyle. The way humans eat animals has shifted. Our brains grew significantly once the human race started hunting its food. Diets that consisted of blood, guts, and organs contributed to that growth. These parts of animals are almost completely absent from modern day diets; and these provided much more nutrition than just the animal's meat.

What if... we could bring extinct animals back to life? | What If

Jurassic Park may have first put the idea of bringing dinosaurs back from the dead into people's heads, but the question of whether we can bring back more recently extinct species is still very much alive and kicking for scientists. In the latest episode of WIRED's What If series, we look at the three techniques scientists are using today to potentially bring extinct animals back to life - breeding, cloning, and the use of CRISPR-cas9. This video was produced as part of Digital Society, a publishing partnership between WIRED and Vontobel where all content is editorially independent.

Produced by WIRED Brand Lab with Expedia Group | Over the past 10 years, how we travel has been completely transformed by social media, technology, and the gig economy. With the proliferation of short-term rentals, we’ve seen a shift in the way housing in communities operates. Your neighbor could change every weekend, and your little corner bodega is now a travel hot spot. Short-term rentals open up local tourism in a new way. But with new regulations severely limiting short-term rentals in one of the largest cities in the world, what does the future of the industry look like?
