04/10/24 • 33 min
It was once thought that a human was not physically capable of running a a mile under four minutes or summiting Everest. Now many people achieve those feats every year. It begs the question, does the same hold true for aging? Is 100 a benchmark in the collective unconscious that tells them the end is near? This week we'll learn about the oldest human ever, Jeanne Calment, who was 122 at her death in 1997. Also in this episode, Kyle and Jheisson learn about cherry poisoning, Tasmania, archipelagos, the lost city of Atlantis and everything in between!
