Consistently Eccentric History

A quick British pre-history - Land bridges, ice ages, bears, oh my!


Listen Later

This week we will be going further back than we ever have before (by at least 3 billion years) to try and answer the question 'why did anyone ever want to settle on this rainy little rock that we call Britain in the first place?'


In order to answer that question we have to discuss the origin of Humans, the rise of the Homo Sapiens and, of course, bears.


With special appearances by: Diprotodon! Gigantopithecus! and more!


Guest Host: Jack Heathcote
