Temporada 1

Three Age System and 10,000 B.C.

This episode is a little shorter than the last couple. It's meant to briefly breakdown the creation and idea of the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages while also laying out the roadmap for the podcast as we reach the end of the stone age and the beginning of Civilization. Consider this the end of part one as it were. Twitter: https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod

The Younger Dryas

This episode focuses mostly on environmental impact of the Younger Dryas period and it's potential causes. We also take a step back and go a little more in-depth on the cave paintings we have discussed the last few episodes. I want to thank everyone who has been listening so far. Please rate and share the episodes if you would be so kind.

Weaving, Chemical Weapons, and Dogs

We're counting down from 40,000 years ago. As the last Hominids we found ourselves developing a number of new and diverse technologies to help us adapt to our rapidly changing world. By popular demand I have included a link to a Twitter account for better communication. https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod Thanks for listing!!!

Sole Survivors

This weeks episode is a little somber as we go over the extinction of our last Hominid Cousins Neanderthals, Denisovans, and the Hobbits while I raise some questions on how different they were actually perceived to be by Homo Sapiens. We also go over our developing artistic (and possibly religious) expressions, as well as a few more simple tools that were being developed by ourselves and our cousins.

Burials, Volcanic Eruption, and Arrowheads

I want to thank everyone who has been listening. This episode goes over or cultural development as well as our development of ranged weaponry. We also go into a discussion of the supposed Toba Catastrophe. I got a little tongue tied explaining this how massive this explosion was. I should have just said it was the largest eruption in 1 million years. Regardless thanks again for your feedback and listening. You can leave me that feedback at waradrevpod@gmail.com

Eemian Starts and Stops and then the Last Glacial Period Begins

Episode 4 is brief and covers a brief Eden-esque time for Northern Africa before we get back to the dry and cool weather of a glacial period. Burials start and ornaments are invented. We also start fishing!!

Hunting, Leather, and Language

In this episode we start in The Penultimate Glacial Period and go over early hunting techniques and targets. We also talk about early leather coverings with some discussion on the origin of languages.

The Branching Tree

In our second episode we're doing a brief overview of what an early Homo Sapiens individual's life would be like at birth until adult hood. and about how long that life would be. We also cover what we know about their earliest tool kit and our best estimates of their groups and numbers. We then finish off with laying out the order and time line of our peopling of Africa. I'm also including the link to the Nature article I mentioned in episode 1 about the Jebel Irhoud site in Morocco here: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.22114

Dawn of Man

Our first episode breaks down some archaeological and genetic evidence to discuss theories on when man appeared. We also briefly touch on the first division in the human population.

Supplemental Episode: Quest for Fire

This week we are discussing the 1981 film Quest for Fire. SPOILER(It's pretty good.) We talk about the novel it is based, the film's created langue, and how even if they made mistakes in the history part of the movie it's still a compelling well acted movie.
