Sphinx Thinks
Sphinx Thinks is the human and natural history podcast, decoding humanity through archaeology, anthropology, and environment.
From our evolutionary origins to the ancient civilisations and innovations that got us where we are today, we'll explore the timeline of our deep past.
I'll be interviewing leading researchers and specialists, to uncover how bones, stones, and the environmental record reveal where we came from, how we lived, and how the world around us shaped everything from our diet and health to our culture and civilisations.

Neanderthals, Bones & Burials with Dr Emma Pomeroy

Neaderthals are plagued with stereotypes - brutish, simple and less human hominids. However, evidence increasingly suggests they were capable of abstract thought and compassion just like us.
What evidence do we have of Neaderthal compassion? How can we learn about the cultures of our ancestors through archaeology? How can studies of health in the past inform our understanding of health today? For all this and more, join me and Dr Emma Pomeroy as we discuss Shanidar Cave and osteoarchaeology...
