Rewriting the Story of Humankind

What attributes set our species apart? Taming fire? Expressing artistically? Solving problems creatively? Recent discoveries that have already upended humankind’s origin story by expanding our family tree, are now challenging long-held assumptions about what makes us special. Paleoanthropologist Lee Berger is a leading figure in these breathtaking developments and he joins Brian Greene to discuss how new discoveries are now rewriting human history.
This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.
The live program was presented at the 2023 World Science Festival Brisbane, hosted by the Queensland Museum.

That's how you do an interview. Ask, shut up and listen and occasionally ask a brief question for clarification. You don't don't put your opinions out there or constantly interrupt the person when they're about to say something interesting or just start talking yourself about what you think. It's very rare to see an interview like this. Good job!

they keep rewriting the same story over and over and over again. And they still don't get it right. However mainstream science is still at the same rat-game of "breathtaking developments" as if it was a some hollytrash movie. We might as well ask Chat GPT instead of the experts who basically remain within their expertise and nothing else much.

@DogWalkerBill 11 месяцев назад

I am 74 years old now. When I was young, from about age 5 or 6, I wanted to be a paleontologist or archeologist. (Somebody gave me a dinosaur play set for Christmas. I had a book on natural history & dinosaurs that was my favorite "bed time story.") In high school my parents & teachers convinced me that there was no future in either since everything had been discovered. (We had King Tut's tomb & T-Rex & Brontosaurus. What else was there to discover?) I graduated high school in 1967. Lots of interesting things have been discovered, in both fields, since then. I worked in insurance & reinsurance most of my life and often found myself digging into the history of those subjects. Here you have one of the greatest discoveries ever: an improbable human species from before there were humans!
