This episode traces the lives of humans during the last glacial period of the Ice Ages, particularly in the regions where polar conditions were most prevalent. In Europe, we trace the lineages of forager peoples from the Aurignacians to the Magdalenians and learn about their toolkits, hunting strategies, and artworks, including the spectacular cave paintings. In Siberia, we examine several different cultures that adapted to the expansive steppes. In North America, we look at the Clovis culture and come to understand how the first Americans lived in their world. History is covered from 39,000 to 12,500 years ago.

This episode begins our discussion of the prehistory of Homo sapiens, the species to which we belong. Our origins are examined on the African continent and we trace the movement of our Ancestors across the world, from Asia to Australia, and from Europe and Siberia to the Americas. This episode ends with a discussion of race, how it developed as a concept, and what it means to anthropologists today.

A continuation of the story of human evolution, examining some of the later species of Homo that coexisted throughout the ice ages. We look at the later developments of Homo erectus in Asia and meet Homo naledi. Then we focus on the Neanderthals and what we know about their lives, ending with a brief look at several mystery humans like the Denisovans.

A continuation of the story of human evolution, examining some of the later species of Homo that coexisted throughout the ice ages. We look at the later developments of Homo erectus in Asia and meet Homo naledi. Then we focus on the Neanderthals and what we know about their lives, ending with a brief look at several mystery humans like the Denisovans.

This episode begins our discussion of human origins and evolution. Backtracking to 66 million years ago, we begin with the history of the primates and lead into the evolution of the hominins (the human lineage) up to 1.2 million years ago. Special topics include the beginnings of bipedal locomotion in apes, the development of stone tool technologies, the use and creation of fire, endurance running, and what we know about the beginnings of language and speech.

The story of life concludes with the Cenozoic Era, from the Paleocene to the Pliocene epoch (66 to 2.58 Million Years Ago). We follow the survivors of the great Cretaceous Extinction Event as they adapt to a rapidly changing world, including the mammals. Special topics include the the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, the Rise of the Himalayas, the Spread of the Grasslands, the Crisis of the Mediterranean, and the Great American Interchange.

The story of life continues with coverage of the Mesozoic Era (251.9 to 66 Million Years Ago). This time is popularly known as the Age of Dinosaurs, but they shared the world with an entire host of fascinating plants and animals. Special topics include the ecological competition between early dinosaurs and the crocodile lineage, the role of sexual selection in shaping head crests and horns, the co-evolution of flowering plants and insects, the Mesozoic Marine Revolution, and the Cretaceous Extinction Event.

The story of life continues with coverage of the Paleozoic Era (541 to 251.9 Million Years Ago). We trek through the different periods of this ancient age to uncover how animals, plants, and microorganisms evolved and coped with a continuously changing climate. Special topics include the Cambrian Explosion, the Ordovician Biodiversification Event, the Colonization of the Land, the Evolution of Tetrapods, and the horrors of the Permian Extinction Event.

This episode is dedicated to one of the biggest scientific mysteries of the modern world: how living things came to be. The chemistry of life is examined and various hypotheses are discussed. Evolution by natural selection is explained, and the history of the world - from 4.03 billion to 541 million years ago - continues, covering the rise of multicellular life, Snowball Earth, and the first animals.
