Warfare, Advancement, and Revisionism

So this week's episode got cut a little short due to weather, but we were at least able to get in a decent overview of early Khoikhoi religion. Unfortunately their original stories are more obscured than their San neighbors, but that doesn't mean they can't be meaningfully discussed.

This week's episode is a brief overview and summary of the creation of the World according to the San peoples of Sothern Africa.Twitter:

The 1st Episode of Part or Season 2! We're focusing on where and who the people of East and South Africa (probably) were at what was 10,000 B.C. (B.C.E) Please enjoy and feel free to provide any feedback via twitter: https://twitter.com/WarAdRevPod

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

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.

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/WarAdRevPodThanks for listing!!!

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.

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 [email protected]

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.

This is the first of our bonus, meta, or, supplemental episodes. These will allow me to regularly put out some type of content while I do research and script out our main episodes. I hope you enjoy this review of a fun little game. Ancestors Humankind Odyssey (2019) by Panache Games is an action survival game about the evolution of early hominids even earlier in prehistory than what we have covered in our main episodes.

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!!

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.

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

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.

A very brief introduction of what to expect from the podcast.
