Giant Sloth Pendants, Viking Disease, and Ancient Proteomics!

Well, here we are! The #PaleoPostPodcast is joining #Youtube! Each week, Genevieve von Petzinger and I will be coming together to spread the science of Paleoanthropology by discussing three topics new to the field: discoveries or important news! It's going to be so much fun! Join along! On this first episode of our new podcast, join Seth and Genevieve as they begin on what will be a fun education journey! Go back in time with us as we discover how Neanderthal genetics are still affecting us today and how we now have further evidence of Human activity in South America much earlier than we thought, thanks to some recent discoveries. Finally, we also discuss the amazing science being done with Paranthropus dentition, where we have been able to get genetic material, which will undoubtedly lead to many further advances in science! Please be kind; this is our first attempt, but we want to hear your thoughts! Please send all feedback to [email protected]!
