70,000 years ago, the eruption of an Indonesian supervolcano whittled the human population down to a few thousand globally. This episode, we walk our way along our evolutionary path from the last known common ancestor of apes and homo sapiens to us: Modern humans. Did you know that scientists found a single pinky bone in a Siberian cave which uncovered an ancient homonin species that once ruled Eurasia? What about the footprints of an earlier hominin species that were cemented in time by a perfect storm?

We really hope you enjoy the episode. If you want to support two humble young scientists, follow the show on Spotify or subscribe to it on Apple Podcasts, and leave a review if you can.
