The Ancients - Un pódcast de History Hit
Categorías:
Before modern humans walked the earth, and even before the Neanderthals, Homo Erectus dominated the plains of Africa. Eventually migrating across the land, with evidence of their existence being found in locations like Java, Homo Erectus survived for 2 million years. But how did they succeed where others failed, and become the most wide spread human species on earth at this time?In this episode, Tristan is joined by Professor John McNabb from the University of Southampton, to explore the fascinating history of Homo Erectus. Looking at a number of tools they used to survive, including a pre-historic Swiss Army Knife, what can the archaeology tell us about the evolution of humankind and can we learn anything from our distant ancestors?For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.
