Why subscribe to the Nature-Nurture-Nietzsche Newsletter?
The Nature-Nurture-Nietzsche Newsletter was created by author and professor of psychology Steve Stewart-Williams (me!).
The newsletter stems from my love of science and knowledge, and my belief that, if we want to make the world a better place, we need to strive for an accurate view of the world. It has two main aims:
To help spread important ideas and knowledge.
To carve out a space for free thought and non-politicized science.
The N3 Newsletter features brief updates and longer posts on psychology, evolution, science, and philosophy - including on topics that some writers and academics shy away from, such as evolutionary psychology, sex differences, gender issues, nature-nurture issues, and threats to freedom of speech.

Two Decades in the Making
I’ve been teaching, writing about, and doing research on the topics covered in the N3 Newsletter for more than two decades.
My academic work revolves around the idea that theories from evolutionary biology can shed light on the human mind and behavior, with a special focus on sex differences and altruism. I’ve also written about the philosophical implications of evolutionary theory, cultural evolution, and the placebo effect.
My books are The Ape That Understood the Universe (2018) and Darwin, God and the Meaning of Life (2010). Book number three is in the pipeline…
Praise for Steve/The Nature-Nurture-Nietzsche Newsletter
John Barry (psychologist and co-founder of the Male Psychology Network):
The acclaim that Steve Stewart-Williams enjoys is well-deserved. He manages to write accurately and intelligently about sensitive topics that are often written about clumsily by others. The result is that many more people are open to learning from him, which is surely the aim of every educationalist. [Source.]
Todd Shackelford (Oakland University):
Stewart-Williams is an exceptionally good writer, a witty and learned guide through challenging but exciting terrain that includes psychology, biology, anthropology, philosophy, and animal behavior. [Source.]
Lance Workman (Bath Spa University):
Stewart-Williams is not only an experienced evolutionary psychologist but also a talented and insightful writer with a memorable turn of phrase. [Source.]
Jerry Coyne (University of Chicago):
Steve Stewart-Williams now has a Substack site… he’s a good guy and it’s worth looking at (subscribe if you want to read it regularly). [Source.]
Todd Kashdan (The Provoked Newsletter):
I’ve been following Steve on social media for years. He takes bold stances and offers rich descriptions of research. Subscribe and improve your thinking about the human condition. [Source.]
Graham Collins (aka World Famous British Sex Expert Dr. Nigel Cummerbund)
As a standup comedian who mostly talks about sex and relationships, I'm always looking for new and unique insights to human behaviour. The content from Steve Stewart-Williams is very useful in providing ways of looking at issues from interesting angles or confirming my thoughts while jump starting my brain as I try to write my comedy monologues that attempt to educate while entertaining.
