In 1995, the Toronto Raptors became one of two Canadian teams to join the NBA. The chances of extinction were high. Jeyan Jeganathan talks to Alex Wong about his latest book, "Prehistoric: The Audacious and Improbable Origin Story of the Toronto Raptors," and how a maverick entrepreneur and an unlikely cast of characters built the Toronto Raptors from the ground up.

 Unraveling the Meaty Mysteries of Human Evolution with Dr. Briana Pobiner

This week on Talking Apes we journey back in time to explore our ancestral roots with Dr. Briana Pobiner. As a distinguished paleoanthropologist, Dr. Pobiner delves deep into the evolution of the human diet and the pivotal role meat played in our development as a species.

Briana, who leads the Smithsonian Human Origins education and outreach initiatives, offers a unique perspective on our shared history with other apes and our progression towards becoming Homo sapiens.  

This week we're stepping away from our usual focus on modern apes to explore the dietary habits of our ancient ancestors with Briana as our amazing guide on some key topics:

The Myth of Linearity: Dr. Pobiner shatters the common misconception that human evolution is a linear progression from chimpanzees. Instead, she unveils the intricate web of evolutionary branches that make up our family tree.

The 2% Difference: Dive deep into the significance of the mere 2% difference in DNA that separates us from our closest living relatives. Discover how this small genetic gap holds significance to our unique journey.

'The cool thing about human bodies is we’re this archive of evolution and we share a lot of that evolutionary history with our closest living relatives.' - Dr Pobiner

Meat-Eating in Prehistory: Explore Dr. Pobiner's research spanning up to 2.5 million years ago, focusing on the pivotal role of meat in early human diets. Learn how she deciphers clues in fossilized bones and identifies tooth and butchery marks to reveal the stone tools our ancestors used to process their food and other ideas about how they lived.

Coexisting Hominids: Delve into the intriguing story of how multiple species of humans (hominids) lived concurrently, painting a complex picture of our ancient world.

‘This is actually a very weird time in human evolution because there’s only one type of human on the planet - through most of our evolutionary history there have been multiple lineages, multiple different species of hominids (early humans) that co-existed at the same time - that’s something to give us pause.’ - Dr Pobiner

Scavenging and Survival: Uncover the theory that early humans might have survived by scavenging meat left behind by carnivores.

Modern Paleo Diets: Dr. Pobiner shares her insights on modern paleo diets, offering a bridge between our ancestral past and present dietary trends.

Join us as we journey through time, exploring the rich tapestry of human evolution! This episode promises to leave you with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of our evolutionary heritage (and maybe a rumbling tummy)!

Prehistoric specialists DR. JONATHAN LOTHROP,LISA DUGAS and JOHN BOILEGH will be discussing their extensive archaeological work in the often overlooked Upper Ohio Valley.   What has their work revealed about the Valley's prehistoric occupants?  What makes this area unique when contrasted with more well know sites in the region?  We will also get into what it takes to assemble an excellent field and lab crews and writing of the site reports.  What are some of the new trends when writing today's archaeology books?  We will be examining the cultural importance of river mollusk shells. We will delve into curating artifacts.  How is modern technology giving us more insights about these advanced prehistoric peoples? The guests love to bring history to the audiences.  The audience will get a comprehensive view of being a modern archaeologist.

The group prepares to move on to Torv's world, but before they can leave the ruins of Orn behind, they discover what the Harvester had planned for them all along. 

Before the group can even hope to stop the Ghora, they have to find it first. Following the monster's path, they discover the scale of destruction Ja has inadvertently unleashed on Orn. 

We review the book "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" by Jane Yolen.

As the group transports the mirror shard back to Orn, they see the devastation they have caused by traveling from world to world. 

The group of unlikely companions travel together to an idyllic island while they wait for the Harvester's return, but even in paradise, Ja can't escape the mistakes of his past.

Ja hears a voice in his head that confirms his suspicions about the Harvester and follows it underground to build a questionable new alliance. 

There is no shortage of lakes around this world that have a reputation of housing lake monsters. Nessie in Loch Ness is probably the most famous.  Canada’s lake Okanagan in British Columbia has Ogopogo.  There is Cressie in Newfoundlands Cresecent Lake.  But the American counterpart is Champ is what we are here to discuss,  said to lurk in Lake Champlain on the border between New York and Vermont

Doro excitedly brings Ja and Kaia to the forest of a man named the Harvester. Though the skeleton venerates the powerful stranger, the humans are far less trusting.

Join Josh and David as they journey back in time to review the new film "65," starring Adam Driver. The hosts dive deep into the "heart" of this prehistoric adventure, exploring the premise of a pilot and his companion stranded 65 million years in the past. They'll discuss the film's dino-effects, twists, and surprising ending.

The jawbone mirror has transported our protagonists to "a world without men like the Blood Summoner." It offers Ja and Kaia a great opportunity to learn more about their travels; all they have to do first is enjoy a simple meal in silence.

After a bizarre turn of events, Ja and Kaia find themselves in the upper echelon of Orn society. Have things finally improved for our protagonists, or is life too good to be true?

Ja and Kaia attempt to track down Torv on the other side of the portal, hoping that his brute strength can help keep them safe in a harsh new world.
