Big Animals and the Humans That Love (to eat) Them - Ep 276
Today's episode is all about mega-fauna and human interactions. Our first story takes us to a creek in Iowa where the first complete mastodon for that state has been found. Next we go to UC Berkeley where researchers think they've figured out, through research and experimental archaeology, how early humans took down those big animals. Finally we move over to Spain where new research is suggesting that Neanderthals didn't ONLY eat big, slow, animals but adapted to take down smaller game. They were smarter than we think they were, of course!
