May 15, 2024 Astonishing New Cave Art, Y chromosome, and Worked Stone Spheres!
It’s that time of the week again, and Genevieve and I are so proud and excited to bring you the next episode #PaleoPostPodcast! We have so much fun making these episodes, and we each learn so much! We hope that you do, too!
In this episode, we have some fascinating and fun stories. It was a big week in #Paleoanthropology for many positive and negative reasons, but we will focus on some of the more positive aspects that make a difference in the field.
In #Iberia, new astonishing #CaveArt has been discovered; the #Human #Ychromosome has been fully mapped for the first time so we will be discussing that, and finally, we will be looking at these odd stone spheres that were intentionally crafted but for what purpose?

May 15, 2024 Giant Sloth Pendants, Viking Disease, and Ancient Proteomics!
Well, here we are! The #PaleoPostPodcast is joining #Youtube!
Each week, Genevieve von Petzinger and I will be coming together to spread the science of Paleoanthropology by discussing three topics new to the field: discoveries or important news!
It's going to be so much fun!
Join along!
On this first episode of our new podcast, join Seth and Genevieve as they begin on what will be a fun education journey! Go back in time with us as we discover how Neanderthal genetics are still affecting us today and how we now have further evidence of Human activity in South America much earlier than we thought, thanks to some recent discoveries. Finally, we also discuss the amazing science being done with Paranthropus dentition, where we have been able to get genetic material, which will undoubtedly lead to many further advances in science!
Please be kind; this is our first attempt, but we want to hear your thoughts!
Please send all feedback to [email protected]!
To learn more about the topics that we discuss, please check out the links below:
1. Giant Sloth Pendants - https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/humans-were-in-south-america-at-least-25000-years-ago-giant-sloth-bone-pendants-reveal
