Who was the 'Ancient One'? The Strange Story of Kennewick Man ~ with CARLTON GOVER
08/04/20 • 54 min
SPECIAL EPISODE! In 1996 a skull and skeleton were stumbled upon near the banks of the Columbia River in Washington State. What followed were years of speculation, assumptions, legal battles and contention. The remains of the 9000-year-old Paleoamerican dubbed 'Kennewick Man' consumed the world of archaeology and Native American repatriation rights for years as both parties claimed the remains.
So who was the Kennewick Man really? Was 'the ancient one' the ancestor the Native Americans claimed that he could only be? Or was he a stranger from a far off land, upsetting centuries of oral tradition?
Archaeologist Carlton Gover has Native American heritage and is also a scientist - and looks at this fascinating case from both sides, revealing some surprising facts in a fully-illustrated interview.

The Evolution of Whales ~ with Professor HANS THEWISSEN
J. G. M. 'Hans' Thewissen, Ph. D. Anatomy Professor at Ohio University, studies fossil cetaceans in order to answer questions about the evolution of whales -- in particular, about how whales originated from land animals.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks to Hans about his early discoveries, fossils of proto-whales that lived partly on land, and the features we can point to in whale anatomy that display the transition from land to water over 50 million years.
Illustrated throughout with artwork from Paleoartists NOBU TAMURA and LUCAS LIMA.

Are There Human Subspecies?~ with LAURA VAN HOLSTEIN
LAURA VAN HOLSTEIN is a PhD Candidate at the University of Cambridge who has recently published her revolutionary research on the role of subspecies in evolution, authenticating one of Charles Darwin's theories.
Laura studied for her BA from 2013 to 2016 in Biological Anthropology. Her main fields of research include human evolution and phylogenetic comparative methods.
MARK from Evolution Soup talks with Laura about her ground-breaking work, what is meant by a 'subspecies' and how these phenotypically distinct groups can lead to new species.
We even chat about Tiger King!
