The Calaveras Skull: The Practical Joke That Almost Changed Human Evolution
from Criminalia Hosted by Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts
When a group of miners uncovered a skull deep in a mine shaft on the western slopes of Bald Mountain in Calaveras County, California, it was believed, at least initially, to be a history-changing discovery. The owner of the mine didn't know at first what it was that he'd dug up that day in 1866. And when he shared it with those who might, including the State Geologist of California, things went a bit, well, off the rails.
