Citrus Part Two

This week we finish our discussion about the domesticate varieties of Citrus and their hybrids. Including etymology, origins, and uses. There are three important notes for this week's episode! First during the etymology section there is discussion regarding the etymology of one of the names of a specific type of lime that in some places has very complicated connotations so if you are offended by or have difficulties with strong language be warned. Second, when discussing Persian limes around the 15 minute mark I misspoke when I said they were not widely grown. I should have said that they didn't become widely grown outside of Persia until much later than Key or Mexican limes. Finally I mixed up lemons and limes several times this episode but you can probably figure out which I meant via context clues.

Plums and Rosaceae Berries

This week I correct a major oversight by talking about the domestication of the Plum which has been long done by this volume. We also cover the major berries in the Rosaceae family, the Blackberry, Strawberry, and Raspberry. I also throw in the Blueberry even though it is not aa Rosaceae. This includes some etymology as well as some discussion of distribution and different cultivar types based on region. Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/4yfO_LhtCnw

This week we go over the domestication of several members of the Rosaceae family. This includes peaches, pears, apricots, almonds, and cherries. This is not all of the Rosaceae and more will be covered later but I hope you'll listen, learn and enjoy as I talk about etymology and locals of some of the most important fruit trees being domesticated during this volume's time frame.

Season 4

Ending Season Four Talking about Brazil

This week we discuss Brazilian rock art, dating difficulties for some older archeological sites, and differences between favored terminology used by Brazilin archeologists. We also discuss the increase and spread of shell midden or Sambaquis sites as well as how some of these coastal sites revealed the earliest evidence of whaling in the Americas if not the world. Also since I know some of you may say something, I know I mistakenly called Columbus Spanish. I know that he was from Genoa and was only working on behalf of Ferdinand and Isabella.

The Neolithic Expansion in the Guianas and Argentinian Isolation

This week we discuss two separate regions in South America. We discuss the hunter gatherer groups living in Argentina and how they had been genetically isolated from the rest of the continent. We also discuss the various groups of peoples who had migrated from the Orinoco River valley to occupy the Guianas to become prolific hunter gatherer fishers and would begin to travel up and down other rivers into the Amazon Basin and how they would being to colonize the Caribbean.

The Chinchorro, their Mummies, and Monte Verde

This week's episode we discuss the site of Monte Verde in southern Chile and some recent controversy surrounding the site's dating. We also talk about the brutal Atacama Desert and how this environment led the fishers moving through the region to develop several forms of mummification throughout their long history in the region. For this season that covers natural mummification as well as the black mummy method.
