Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The origins of modern man is a bush, not a tree, and it spans somewhere between 5 to 7 million years. From some common ancestor, chimpanzees and what would become us split. To help us explore this bush, we enlisted Archeologist/Anthropologist, Professor John Hoopes.
What's an Australopithecus v a Homo? Who's Lucy? Were Neatherthals giants or Judd Hirsh or neither? Were Denisovans giants or Elves or Al Leong or none?
Are Humanoid reptilians possible on Earth? Are Paracus skulls a different species?
All these questions and SEVEN MILLION YEARS covered.
P.S. since the time of this recording, a new australopithecus variant that lived after Lucy has been identified!
