In this episode of Blazing the Trail, host Dr. Amy Mosig Way explores the lives of our extinct human cousins, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, with special guests Dr. Rebecca Wragg-Sykes, Dr. Vivian Slon, and Prof. Andrzej Wiśniewski. Together, they unpack common myths about Neanderthals, revealing their adaptability to diverse climates, their varied diet, and possible ventures into artistic expression. Listeners are also introduced to the elusive Denisovan, another human cousin from Siberia, whose genetic testing indicates they interbred with Neanderthals. Join us as we uncover the shared chapters of our family tree.
