    This week we conclude our study of South East Asia between 6000-4000 BC(E). In it we discuss the sites and material cultures of Quỳnh Văn and Đa Bút. We also go over the spread of agriculture into other parts of the region toward the end of the season as well as a talk about the current understanding of the genetic relationship between the Andamanese and the Hoabinhian.

After an Audacity crash caused me to lose my first recording I was able to rerecord, and while I think this is much rougher we were still able to go over some highlights of this period of Neolithic South East Asia in general like the spread of agriculture and the domestication of pig and chickens.. I also focused on some specific sites in what is now Thailand. Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/0hn_eJ-8wxQ

    This week I go over some agricultural developments. One about millet domestication I forgot to cover in an earlier episode. The other is about rice domestication and the possibility of local strains being domesticated prior to the introduction of other strains from the East. We also discuss potential animal domestication events. Finally we discuss potential relations and interactions to neighboring peoples and regions in East Asia.

We also give a very brief overview of the populations living in what is now Nepal and Bhutan. Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/5Z3fFC3ihMo

    This week I talk about some of the most mysterious and probably oldest isolated languages in the Indian subcontinent in the regions we've gone over so far this season. If they existed during this season's time frame and if so where. We also talk about the Vedda people of Sri Lanka Twitter/X: https://x.com/WarAdRevPod YouTube: https://youtu.be/z36xqaQO76Y
