It's been a few weeks since we have had a news episode and in that time there has been so many great stories we had trouble deciding which ones to chose! First up is a million year old skull found in in China. Then we head over to Greece where researchers theorize that mysterious stone spheres are part of a board game. And finally, a discussion about the recent Scientific American cover story "The Power of Viking Women." Interested in sponsoring this show or podcast ads for your business?
