Episode 11
In this episode I discuss the history of tool making and artistic expression in hominin species over the last 2.5 million years which culminated in the Paleolithic Renaissance 50.000 years ago. I suggest that this advancement was a result of the development of modern language. I also talk about the Neanderthals, Agriculture and writing.
