On this week's edition of the Scaffidiology Podcast, Steve Scaffidi explores the

"The Rise of Humans" with Dr. John Hawks, subject matter expert and the Vilas-Borghesi Distinguished Achievement Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Hawks details the most recent scientific theories in the study of ancient humans, including where our species originated, why those origins matter, and if evolution is really speeding up.

Where did we come from, and where is our species going? This week on the Scaffidiology Podcast.

Steve Scaffidi is also the co-host of Point Taken, which airs from 10-Noon weekdays on 620 WTMJ.
