Episode 66 - Elephants
This episode, we take a deep dive into the evolutionary story of Earth’s largest land mammals. Extinction has left us with only three elephant species today, but for tens of millions of years their extended family, the proboscideans, came in many weird and wondrous forms, from mammoths to mastodons to shovel-tuskers and more.
In the news: clam secrets, weird bird feet, surprise Greek humans, and early hominin breastfeeding.
