The Octarine Tree

ls it scientifically plausible that other Hominid species inhabited the Australian mainland before Homo sapiens? 

Following on from his presentation on the global “Wild Man” phenomena, in this talk researcher Byron Joel explores the fascinating topic of Homonid (modern Humans and their relatives) history in the Australasian and South East Asian regions. From Homo erectus in Java as long as 1 million years ago, the Hobbits of Flores, the Red Deer Cave People, the Denisovan DNA heritage within contemporary Australasian peoples and even the folklore describing mysterious non-sapiens hominids still living in the Australasian wilderness.

Of all the myths and stories we find shared ubiquitously around the globe one of the most persistent and captivating is that of hairy, wild, human-like creatures living in the wilderness. How are they represented in different cultures? Are they merely myth or is there a physical reality to them? And if so, why the disparaging gap between the bountiful anecdotal evidence and meagre physical?

In this talk we discuss the fascinating potentials held by these elusive phenomena. Different types known by many names around the world, Sasquatch, Yowie, Yeti, Alma, Orang Pendek and more. He will explore the phenomena from a historical, Jungian, mythological, paleo-anthropological, and even modern forensic perspective  as to what may lie behind this cross cultural folklore and unrelenting sightings.

Dr Jeff Meldrum is a Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology and a Professor of the Department of Anthropology at Idaho State University. Meldrum is also Adjunct Professor of Occupational and Physical Therapy. Meldrum is an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates.

We explore...
- the potential of an extra-sapiens homonid crossing the Wallace Line onto the Australian mainland before Homo sapiens.
- Sapiens life amongst numerous other homonid species during the Pleistocene.
- the Relict Hominoid hypothesis.
- the probable diversity of now extinct hominid forms...
...and much more.

Introducing the Octarine Tree, an interview-based podcast exploring the meaning of ecology, spirit and human relationship. Hosted by Western Australian agro-ecologist Byron Joel. 

This has been a LONG time coming. The content of this first episode speaks for itself. I look forward to sharing further explorations into topics that I find personally invigorating.
