In our final outing for the natural history series, we're taking a look at the development of the dertiest animal species going, the human bean.

Are there other areas of human evolution that need urgent assessment? Sound off below for the potential of a naughty sequel before the series ends.

An early humans pod without one mention of Captain Caaaavemaaaaan? What a travesty 😂 Another excellent pod, I was defo in your camp, even the revelation that the dinosaurs and humans weren’t around together was new to me 🙈 I blame The Flintstones

Not a doctor, but based on your symptoms I do believe you're dying. Send my condolences to Nover. The last I heard they were still wheeling Dragon's Eye out in 2014, but my primary school were cheapskates! Rant ahead! With regards to Neanderthals, I think a lot of the documentaries are probably a bit out of date. As we've learned more about them over the last decade, we've found they were much more like us than anyone thought- they had art, sophisticated language and even shared the same FOXP2 gene that gives us our linguistic capabilities. More and more, it looks like Homo Sapiens survived through chance, rather than us being "better" than them- quite a crippling blow to the egos of many early palaeo-anthropologists. Much of our conception of early human species has been filtered through the eyes of early academics who believed in White Exceptionalism, and tried very hard to posit white people as more evolved- and thus better- than other races. This is the genesis of many modern concepts of Homo Sapiens as being better than neanderthals. Ultimately it's an outgrowth of racism in academia, especially in the 20th century. Anthropology has a very dark past with regards to eugenics, phrenology and white supremacy- as the study of Humans, it's often co-opted by people attempting to justify their own biases. Scientists are just people and people have limitations and prejudices, which often get interwoven into the science- a great example of this is the Piltdown Man, an obvious hoax that many respectable academics supported for years as it propped up their view of white people being a different species to black, asian and native americans. Our view of human nature is heavily skewed by the time period we live in, and many famous anthropologists lived immediately after WW1 + WW2, so they believed violence was an intrinsict part of human behaviour. This is the root of the common misconception that we "did away with" or committed violence against archaic human species. In fact we interbred with them! Homo Denisova (another sister species to ourselves) genes remain in many people of Polynesian and Aboriginal Australian descent, and Denisovan genes allow native tibetans to thrive in extreme altitudes.
