3- Legacy of Prometheus

It takes two flints to make a fire
- Louisa May Alcott

It's the third episode and things are getting weird in the evolutionary world! Who are these neandertals with their low brows and primitive ideas, and why do so many politicians look like them? (That's a little political humor for you all! The yuks just keep on coming here at TPHOOW!)

When you're done listening to the episode, don't forget to listen to the theories of the eminent professor of anthropology Dr. Karl Pilkington on the genetics between man and chimpanzee. It's a truly fascinating lecture!

And as I've done before, all the picture links and articles will be posted within the day or so. I'll also be posting a bibliography for all the works cited to date so no one tries to sue me. As my legal team, of the moment, consists of a half eaten donut and a briefcase full of shredded newspaper.

Enjoy!

2 - The Dawn of Man

When life gives you lemons, you make HISTORY.

Episode two is up and filled with more environmental and biological controversies than you could throw a monkey at! We'll be taking a look at the early days of mankind, back when a good day was finding a semi fermented fruit and not getting eaten by a dinofelis. Good times!
