  • Summary

  • The history of humanity before civilization is populated by an array of cultures throughout the millennia and across the continents. The earliest humans followed diverse customs and survival strategies, explored the unknown, adapted to exotic ecosystems, thrived in good times, and fell into oblivion in others. This podcast relates that story, starting with the origin of our species and tracing the development of human life before written records.

Wish there was more

I listened to every episode too quickly, I wish there were more. The voice was steady and the information was easy to follow without getting lost in too much jargon.

Fascinating

Super interesting narrative about what we know of the Middle Stone Age. I learned a lot and am looking forward to more. Nice work.
