Browsing the ancient history shows in my feed and you guys came up. What a find. Love your style guys and Genevieve is here too. What a joy. I discovered her work on cave art a few weeks ago and I'm hooked. Thanks so much for the amazing content.

[@worldofpaleoanthropology]

We are so pleased to have you! We try to come out with new episodes weekly, but in the meantime, be sure to explore the rest of the channel; there is SO MUCH paleo content! Enjoy!

Great minds! This episode is wonderful! So many topics discussed in one episode. We have learned so much about our journey and yet there's so much more to learn! It makes perfect sense , to me, that more than one species coexisted together at the same time while branching off and evolving, fighting for competition to survive and perfect the species. On the topic of cave art I always marvel at the beauty of the simplest designs to the beautiful depiction of the animals. The animal art is just so perfect, that I wonder why we haven't found a great self portrait that could have given us a snapshot of how man looked at that time. Keep up the good work! It's all fascinating!

The audio is glitchy and hard to listen too. Luckily captions are on!!!

Do speak a bit slower, please. And do a Soundcheck before editing.

If only it were that simple

Thanks, did that.

Great episode, just hoping the George did not wake the sleeping knights in King Arthurs cave.

Really good. Amanensis jawbone sounds like it's going to really shake things up. I know that people studying the bones are aware of this ,but I think that we sometimes place too much emphasis on what one fossil can tell us about a species in general. If we imagine us looking back from 2 million years in the future say , and our examples of sapiens were limited to bones coming from e.g Nilitic people who lived in a very small area , we'd probably be reaching some pretty weird conclusions about our anatomy. And we'd know nothing about what humans were doing culturally in the rest of the world. As Seth said, " who is Kenyanthropus?"There is so much still to learn.

[@worldofpaleoanthropology]

Right? Awesome huh!

[@americannapalm]

There is a framework in rock art. I believe it actually started with neanderthal. It's in the seashells....Venus of Hohle fels is something else...

[@worldofpaleoanthropology]

Earlier than that even!

❤ experience, feeling for the then existent environment and a lot of unconscious processing in the brain 🎉❤😅

[@intothisworld]

Great episode! My only suggestion would be to just show Genevieve, she is so charming.

[@worldofpaleoanthropology]

Because that’s not sexist or weird or anything.
