Podcasts about Denisovan

Episode 308 An ancient skull discovered in China has been confirmed to belong to a Denisovan. It's been tough to study this mysterious human ancestor, as we've only ever found a finger and jaw bone - so this new discovery could reshape our understanding of them. After being kept secret for decades, the “dragon man” skull is opening up a new window into our past. We've unlocked another clue in our quest to decode whale language. Analysis of 15 sperm whales in the Caribbean suggest their language may contain vowels, used in a similar way to human language. Using their various clicks, researchers have discovered interesting patterns in the way they communicate. Feeling hot and sweaty? Well, strap in - because these heatwaves are set to continue…and get worse. Summers are evolving fast as a result of climate change and weather events that would've once been rare are becoming much more common. Find out how the UK could be in for a string of long 40C summers in the very near future. The winner of The Women's Prize for Non-Fiction has been revealed - Dr Rachel Clarke claims the title for her book “The Story of a Heart”. The book explores the history of heart transplants and tells the story of a nine year old girl whose heart saved two other children and two adults. Rachel explains why she chose to write this story and the surprising things she learnt along the way.

Humans are everywhere. How did we get from the savannahs of Africa across to the most northern reaches of Alaska and Greenland, to the outbacks of Australia and the islands of the Pacific millennia ago? How did we master fire, figure out how to craft tools and survive the Ice Ages?In this episode Dan is joined by Professor Chris Stringer, Research Leader in Human Evolution at London's Natural History Museum, to talk about how Homo Sapiens managed to outlive other human cousins like Neanderthals and Denisovans and cross oceans s hape landscapes and one day, build cities and space shuttles.Produced by James Hickmann, Mariana Des Forges and edited by Tim Arstall.You can now find Dan Snow's History Hit on YouTube!

Scientists have identified three genes that may have played an important part in a major development in human evolution.科学家已经确定了三个可能在人类进化的重大发展中起重要作用的基因。The genes are being linked to the increase in brain size that took place in ancestors of human beings. This increase led to the development of mental abilities that define what it means to be human.这些基因与人类祖先发生的大脑大小的增加有关。 这种增长导致了定义人类含义的心理能力的发展。Researchers published two reports on their observations of the genes in the publication Cell in late May.研究人员发表了两份有关他们对5月下旬出版物细胞基因的观察的报告。The researchers believe the genes first appeared between three and four million years ago. This was just before a period in the fossil record that shows a major brain enlargement in the species from which humans evolved.研究人员认为，这些基因首次出现在三到四百万年前。 这是在化石记录中的一段时间之前，显示了人类进化的物种中的大脑肿大。The three genes share almost the exact same qualities. Along with a fourth one that seems to serve no purpose, they are called NOTCH2NL genes. They came from a gene family believed to have developed hundreds of millions of years ago. They are also important in the development of embryos.这三个基因几乎具有完全相同的品质。 除了似乎没有目的的第四个外，它们被称为Notch2nl基因。 他们来自一个据信基因家族，该家族已经发展了数亿年。 它们在胚胎的发展中也很重要。The NOTCH2NL genes are especially active in the collection of nerve stem cells in the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer part of the brain responsible for the highest mental processes. These include language, memory and reasoning.Notch2nl基因在大脑皮层中神经干细胞的收集中特别活跃。 大脑皮层是负责最高心理过程的大脑外部部分。 这些包括语言，记忆和推理。The genes were found to slow the development of stem cells in the cerebral cortex into neurons in the embryo. The researchers say this delay leads to the production of a higher number of more developed nerve cells in this area of the brain.发现这些基因会减慢脑皮质中干细胞在胚胎中神经元中的发育。 研究人员说，这种延迟会导致在大脑该区域中产生更高数量的发达神经细胞。Pierre Vanderhaeghen is a developmental neurobiologist at the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium. He told the Reuters news service that, in large part, the cerebral cortex is responsible for what defines humans as a species and as individuals.Pierre Vanderhaeghen是比利时的Libre de Bruxelles大学的发展神经生物学家。 他告诉路透社新闻服务，在很大程度上，大脑皮层造成了将人类定义为一种物种和个人的原因。“Understanding how it emerged in evolution is a fascinating question, touching at the basic origins of mankind,” said Vanderhaeghen.范德海格说：“了解它在进化中的出现是一个令人着迷的问题，它触及了人类的基本起源。”David Haussler is a biomolecular engineer and the scientific director of the University of California, Santa Cruz Genomics Institute. He added that it is “the ultimate evolutionary question” and a very interesting area of research in which to work.戴维·豪斯勒（David Haussler）是一位生物分子工程师，也是加利福尼亚大学圣克鲁斯基因组学院的科学主任。 他补充说，这是“最终的进化问题”，也是一个非常有趣的研究领域。The species Australopithecus afarensis is an ancestor of humans that combined both ape-like and human-like qualities. The well-known fossil named “Lucy,” discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, was a member of that species. Lucy lived in Africa at about the time these genes are believed to have appeared.Australopithecus Afarensis是人类的祖先，它们既结合了猿类样和类人的品质。 著名的化石名为“露西”，于1974年在埃塞俄比亚发现，是该物种的成员。 露西大约在这些基因出现的时候就住在非洲。Sofie Salama is a UC-Santa Cruz biomolecular engineering research scientist. She said it would be great if it were possible to record the complete order of all of Lucy's genetic material, her DNA. But she noted that it would be nearly impossible.Sofie Salama是UC-Santa Cruz生物分子工程研究科学家。 她说，如果有可能记录露西所有遗传材料，她的DNA的完整顺序，那就太好了。 但是她指出，这几乎是不可能的。FILE PHOTO: Students attend a lecture in the auditorium of a university in Munich, Germany, May 25, 2016. REUTERS/Michaela RehleThe NOTCH2NL genes are not present in the closest genetic relatives to human beings. None were found in monkeys or orangutans.Notch2nl基因不存在于最接近人类的遗传亲属中。 在猴子或猩猩中没有发现。However, Reuters reports that the researchers did find the genes in the remains of two human ancestor species: Neanderthals and Denisovans.但是，路透社报道说，研究人员确实在两个人类祖先物种的遗迹中找到了基因：尼安德特人和丹尼索凡夫人。NOTCH2NL gene abnormalities were found to be connected problems that affect the brain. These include autism, schizophrenia and both unusually large and unusually small head size.发现Notch2nl基因异常是影响大脑的问题。 这些包括自闭症，精神分裂症以及头部大小异常大且异常小。

  Today, Razib talks about a new paper, A structured coalescent model reveals deep ancestral structure shared by all modern humans: Understanding the history of admixture events and population size changes leading to modern humans is central to human evolutionary genetics. Here we introduce a coalescence-based hidden Markov model, cobraa, that explicitly represents an ancestral population split and rejoin, and demonstrate its application on simulated and real data across multiple species. Using cobraa, we present evidence for an extended period of structure in the history of all modern humans, in which two ancestral populations that diverged ~1.5 million years ago came together in an admixture event ~300 thousand years ago, in a ratio of ~80:20%. Immediately after their divergence, we detect a strong bottleneck in the major ancestral population. We inferred regions of the present-day genome derived from each ancestral population, finding that material from the minority correlates strongly with distance to coding sequence, suggesting it was deleterious against the majority background. Moreover, we found a strong correlation between regions of majority ancestry and human–Neanderthal or human–Denisovan divergence, suggesting the majority population was also ancestral to those archaic humans.

Scientists have discovered solid proof that ancient humans weren't as separate as we once thought—they mixed and mingled! By studying DNA from fossils, researchers found that our ancestors, Homo sapiens, had kids with Neanderthals and another group called Denisovans. This mixing left genetic traces that still exist in modern humans today, like certain immune system traits. Some people even carry DNA linked to Denisovans that helps them adapt to high altitudes. It's like a prehistoric family reunion, showing how interconnected early human groups were. These findings are rewriting the story of human evolution, proving it wasn't a straight line but more like a web of relationships! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Recent advances in genetics and paleoanthropology are revealing a complex world where multiple hominin species coexisted, interbred, and left behind their DNA in modern populations. Fossils like the Denisovan jawbone Penghu-1 found in Taiwan and enigmatic remains from Red Deer Cave suggest that some archaic humans may have survived into the Holocene, much later than previously thought. Meanwhile, studies of modern genomes have uncovered “genetic ghosts”—traces of unknown ancient populations for which no physical remains have been found, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at these and other recent discoveries challenging our past thinking on ancient humans, which point to a tangled web of migrations and ancient interactions. We look at global folklore and indigenous traditions that describe reclusive, bipedal, humanlike creatures that bear striking similarities across cultures, which raise profound questions about how many kinds of humans once walked the Earth—and whether some still might.

A tree has evolved to attract lightning strikes — to eliminate the competitionScientists working in Panama noticed that a particular tropical tree species was frequently struck by lightning, but was infrequently killed by the strikes. Forest ecologist Evan Gora found that Dipteryx oleifera trees were often the last ones standing after a lightning strike, which can kill over 100 trees with a single bolt. His team discovered the giant trees were more electrically conductive than other species, which allows them to not only survive strikes, but also channel lightning into parasitic vines and competing trees around them. The research was published in the journal New Phytologist.Anti-anxiety drugs we pee out could be affecting wild salmonOur bodies only process some of the pharmaceuticals we take, which means when we pee, we're releasing traces of drugs into the ecosystem. A study of the impact of trace amounts of anti-anxiety drugs on juvenile salmon suggests they might become too brave for their own survival.  Jack Brand is a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and led the research published in the journal Science.Fossil discovery gives new insight into the mysterious DenisovansA jawbone pulled up by fishers off the coast of Taiwan in 2008 has proven to be a unique discovery. Analysis of preserved protein in the fossil has proved it is from a male Denisovan — a mysterious species of ancient human known from only fragmentary bones and ancient DNA. This gives new insight into how widespread this mysterious branch of humanity was. The research was led by a team including Takumi Tsutaya and Enrico Cappellini at the University of Copenhagen, and published in the journal Science.Earth's inner core is a lot more dynamic and smushy than we previously thoughtScientists used to think the inner core of our planet was a solid sphere of metal, but a new study in Nature Geoscience suggests its softer outer layers shift and deform over time. The researchers used pairs of earthquakes from the same location as X-rays to peer inside Earth to gauge what the inner core is doing; much like a stop-motion film. John Vidale, from the University of Southern California, said this insight can shed light on how a planet like ours evolves. Human noise has an impact on wildlife — here are two unique examplesTraffic, aircraft, industry, construction. Our world is saturated with artificial noise. We know noise impacts us and other animals, but new research is shedding light on how past experiences factor into the ways wildlife adapt to our noise pollution. Researchers in one study in Animal Behaviour found that yellow warblers in the Galapagos Islands that live closer to traffic become aggressive when defending their territory in noisy conditions compared to birds in quieter areas. Çağlar Akçay, from Anglia Ruskin University, said the birds exposed to more traffic have learned their warning calls aren't as effective when things get too noisy; and they resort to physical violence. Another study in Current Biology shows how spiders that are exposed to loud noises construct their webs differently in ways that could affect their ability to sense vibrations from prey or a potential mate. Brandi Pessman, from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, found that spiders tune their webs in noisy environments like a volume dial: city spiders turn their web volume down whereas country spiders turn it up.

If you have Denisovan DNA, it means you carry genes from an ancient human species that lived thousands of years ago.

Why is it that humans can talk but mice can't? New research published in the journal Nature Communications found that it might be due to a specific gene. If you asked somebody what sound a mouse makes, most people would answer 'squeak' - but mice can also make chirping sounds in the ultrasonic range that humans can't hear. The researchers took a variant of a gene called NOVA1, which is only found in humans, and gene-edited it into mice. The genetically modified mice started to squeak differently to the mice without the gene. Genetically modified baby mice that were separated from their mothers made very distinctly different sounds compared to non-modified baby mice from the same litter. Adult male mice also changed their songs during mating calls when they had the NOVA1 gene. These results suggests that the human version of NOVA1 is likely to influence vocal communication and could be a key player in the evolution of our speech. To confirm that this genetic variant was truly unique to modern humans, the researchers then did an analysis that checked genomes from extinct human species, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. They found that our ancient ancestors lacked this variant, however it was present in the genomes of modern humans from around the world. Humans are unique as a species when it comes to how we communicate, and knowing the gene involved in language could help us to understand how we began talking in the first place as well as potentially helping in treating speech disorders.

In the first half, Michael Cremo, an authority on archaeological anomalies, discussed the complex history of human evolution and the coexistence of various hominid species. He reported on the recent discovery of Homo Juluensis-- a new species of ancient human found by archaeologists in China. From skull fragments from around 200,000 years ago, they have calculated that this species' brain volume or cranial capacity was higher than that of modern humans. Though the beings were believed to be around six ft. tall, Cremo pointed out they may be genetically linked to the much smaller Homo floresiensis out of Indonesia, who have been nicknamed the "Hobbit."Cremo expressed skepticism about the linear progression of human evolution often taught in schools, stating, "the real pattern added up to coexistence of various types of hominids." Up to about 800,000 years ago, humans coexisted with other species like Homo erectus and the Denisovans, he said, suggesting that these interactions may have led to interbreeding, as evidenced by the DNA remnants found in modern humans.Cremo also shared intriguing archaeological finds that challenge our understanding of human history, including a reportedly 50-million-year-old object discovered in a mine in France in the 19th century that was possibly used as a weapon, similar to a slingshot. These types of findings indicate a very ancient human presence going back millions of years, he said, emphasizing that such artifacts are typically associated with anatomically modern humans, not earlier hominids.--------------In the latter half, the President and co-founder of a leading online obituary website, Mandy Benoualid, discussed her passion for honoring legacies and the evolving landscape of the funeral industry, including new technology forms. She recounted the inspirations that led her to create Keeper, an online platform allowing families to document and share their loved one's stories. This initiative has grown, particularly post-COVID, with increased interest in "living memorial pages," where individuals can share their stories before passing.Discussing the shift in funeral practices, Benoualid declared that "cremation has just completely changed the way that we have funerals today," with far fewer of the bereaved choosing open caskets and viewings. She highlighted the growing trend of direct cremation and the competitive pricing that has emerged in the industry. She also touched on how the funeral industry has seen a great deal of consolidation, with larger companies buying out the "Mom & Pop" funeral homes. Regarding the financial aspects, she revealed that a full-service funeral can average around $10,000, excluding plot costs.Speaking of the transformative impact of technology on funerals, she noted how the process has shifted online. "You can plan a full cremation service without ever going anywhere," she explained, pointing out the convenience of digital platforms for managing funeral arrangements, including services held over Zoom. Further, QR codes can be placed on tombs and monuments in cemeteries, allowing people to learn details about the lives of the departed.

Researchers have identified NOVA1 as a potential human “language gene” that may have played a crucial role in the evolution of spoken language. Unlike other mammals, humans have a unique variant of this gene, which even Neanderthals and Denisovans lacked. This suggests it emerged relatively recently in our evolutionary history. When scientists inserted the human NOVA1 variant into mice, the rodents' vocalization patterns changed—pups produced higher-frequency squeaks, while adult males developed more complex courtship calls.

Chris Stringer places Homo longi with previously known ancient humans, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, and our own species, Homo sapiens.

  On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, third-time guest John Hawks returns after two years to discuss what we've learned in paleoanthropology since he and Razib last talked. Hawks obtained his PhD under Milford H. Wolpoff, and is currently a professor in anthropology at the University of Wisconsin. Hawks has also co-authored Almost Human: The Astonishing Tale of Homo naledi and the Discovery That Changed Our Human Story and Cave of Bones: A True Story of Discovery, Adventure, and Human Origins with Lee Berger. Razib first presses Hawks on what we know about archaic human admixture into modern populations, and particularly what we've learned about Denisovans. They discuss how many Denisovan populations there were, how many Denisovan fossil remains we have, and why it has taken so long for researchers to assign a species name to this lineage of humans. Hawks also address the puzzle of the phenomenon of why there are at least two pygmy hominin populations in Southeast Asia. Perhaps humans too are subject to island dwarfism like many other mammals? Also, Razib wonders why Southeast Asia was home to such a startling variety of humans at once prior to the arrival of modern populations. They discuss all of this in light of the framework of Out-of-Africa, the recent spread of anatomically modern humans outside of Africa. Razib questions how robust this model is today given our understanding of modern humans' extensive and repeated interactions with both Neanderthals and Denisovans. Finally, Hawks covers some controversies over fossils being sent into space that roiled the archaeological world last year.

In this enlightening episode of the Prometheus Lens Podcast, host Doc Brown engages with Dr. Greg Little, a seasoned psychologist and researcher, to explore the fascinating topics of mounds, giants, and Native American rituals. Dr. Little shares his extensive background, including his journey into the study of mounds and the spiritual experiences that have shaped his understanding of ancient cultures. The conversation delves into the Adena elite hypothesis, the significance of dreams, and the connections to Denisovans, providing listeners with a rich tapestry of insights into the mysteries of the past. In this conversation, Greg Little and Justin explore the complex history of ancient civilizations in North America, focusing on the hybrid race that brought advanced technology and architecture. They discuss the significance of ancient mounds, the evolution of archaeological understanding, and the population dynamics of pre-Columbian America. The conversation delves into the transformation of the Amazon rainforest and the enigma surrounding South American civilizations. Additionally, they examine the cosmology and belief systems of mound builders, particularly their views on the path of souls and spiritual energy. In this conversation, Greg Little and Justin explore the profound connections between Egyptian and Native American beliefs regarding the afterlife, the weighing of souls, and the spiritual significance of various rituals. They delve into the cosmic alignments of ancient civilizations, the use of hallucinogens in ceremonies, and reflect on the rich history and culture of Native Americans, emphasizing their sophisticated understanding of the universe and the spiritual journey of the soul.Head over to http://www.prometheuslenspodcast.com to sign up for the "All Access Pass" and get early access to episodes, private community, members only episodes, private Q & A's, and coming documentaries.Love the quality of these videos?

The scientists said their new findings on the mixing and mating of the groups suggested the activities happened a little more recently than thought in the past. They believe the contact continued over many generations. 科学家们表示，他们关于这些群体混合和交配的新发现表明，这些活动发生的时间比过去想象的要晚一些。他们相信这种接触持续了好几代人。Priya Moorjani was co-writer of the study appearing in Science. She is an assistant professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. She told Reuters, “Genetic data from these samples really helps us paint a picture in more and more detail.” Priya Moorjani 是发表在《科学》杂志上的这项研究的合著者。她是加州大学伯克利分校分子和细胞生物学助理教授。她告诉路透社，“这些样本的基因数据确实帮助我们越来越详细地描绘了一幅图景。” The team noted that it is difficult to know the exact nature of the interactions between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals based on the examined data. The researchers also could not confirm exactly where the mixing and mating happened. However, they believe it was most likely somewhere in the Middle East. 研究小组指出，根据检查的数据很难了解智人和尼安德特人之间相互作用的确切性质。研究人员也无法确定混合和交配发生的确切位置。然而，他们认为它很可能在中东某个地方。 The researchers noted most modern humans still have genetic material from Neanderthals that accounts for an estimated one to two percent of their DNA. They said modern-day genetic traits linked to skin color, hair color and even nose shape can relate back to the Neanderthals. Our genetic makeup also includes links to another group of human ancestors called Denisovans. 研究人员指出，大多数现代人类仍然拥有来自尼安德特人的遗传物质，估计占其 DNA 的百分之一到百分之二。他们说，与肤色、头发颜色甚至鼻子形状相关的现代遗传特征可以追溯到尼安德特人。我们的基因构成还包括与另一群人类祖先（丹尼索瓦人）的联系。 Moorjani noted that the history of Neanderthals living outside Africa for thousands of years likely gave them a greater ability to deal with climate and diseases in new environments. “Some of their genes may have been beneficial to modern humans,” she added. 穆尔贾尼指出，尼安德特人在非洲以外生活了数千年的历史可能使他们在新环境中应对气候和疾病的能力更强。“它们的一些基因可能对现代人类有益，”她补充道。 Rick Potts is director of the Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins program. He was not involved in the new research. Potts told The Associated Press he hopes future genetic studies can help scientists learn even more details about the interactions of Neanderthals and modern humans. 里克·波茨 (Rick Potts) 是史密森学会人类起源项目的主任。他没有参与这项新研究。波茨告诉美联社，他希望未来的基因研究能够帮助科学家了解更多关于尼安德特人和现代人类相互作用的细节。 He said, “Out of many really compelling areas of scientific investigation, one of them is: well, who are we?” 他说：“在许多真正引人注目的科学研究领域中，其中之一是：嗯，我们是谁？”

Author and explorer Andrew Collins joins us for a fascinating conversation about the origins of civilization, agriculture, and megalithic construction in the deep past, as evidenced by sites like Gobekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe, and others in modern day Turkey. We discuss Giants, Nephilim, Annunaki, the mysterious Denisovans, and a possible cult of the Cosmic Serpent in deep prehistory.Much of this discussion is on the subjects in Andrew's latest book, "Karahan Tepe: Civilization of the Annunaki and the Cosmic Origins of the Serpent of Eden", which you can get here:https://a.co/d/2l2CUoCOr here:https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/karahan-tepe-andrew-collins/1144630685See Andrew's website here:https://andrewcollins.com/page/news/index.htm

We're experimenting! Give us (constructive) feedback.In this episode of Discover Daily, we dive into three compelling stories that intersect technology, science, and human behavior. The show kicks off with breaking news about Elon Musk's $56 billion Tesla pay package being voided by a Delaware judge, exploring the implications for corporate governance and executive compensation across the tech industry. Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick's ruling raises important questions about oversight and fairness in CEO compensationThe conversation then shifts to a groundbreaking scientific discovery about Denisovan DNA's influence on modern human immune systems. Research published in Nature Ecology and Evolution reveals that up to 50% of immune-related genes in modern Papuans originated from Denisovans, demonstrating how ancient interbreeding continues to affect human health and adaptation todayThe episode concludes with an in-depth exploration of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a fascinating psychological phenomenon that explains why people with limited knowledge tend to overestimate their abilities. The discussion covers the characteristic Dunning-Kruger curve, from the "Peak of Mount Stupid" to the "Valley of Despair," and examines its implications for workplace dynamics, education, and social media discourseFrom Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/denisovan-dna-s-legacy-BXKO8shRTjSSs1Q3wP6fJAhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/musk-s-56b-pay-rejected-9GybdlU0TOitraxKbqduqQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/dunning-kruger-curve-B2EJ3bmgT6eMxHwpJ4jNLQPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

He is a population geneticist focusing on the evolution of humans and closely related species. His main research focus revolves around human evolution during the Pleistocene, in particular the admixture events between so-called modern and archaic humans after the out-of-Africa and before human colonization of Sahul.   In this episode, we start by discussing what are modern and archaic humans. We talk about out-of-Africa migrations by H. sapiens and other hominins. We discuss how hominin species are classified. We talk about the Neanderthals and the Denisovans, and how they interbred with H. sapiens. We discuss whether the Neanderthals really went extinct. We talk about what we can learn from genetics about human evolution, and specifically admixture and human dispersals. Finally, we discuss balancing selection and trans-species polymorphisms, and the implications they have for how we understand human evolution. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

My special guest is Andrew Collins where to discuss his book The Cygnus Key: The Denisovan Legacy, Göbekli Tepe, and the Birth of Egypt.New evidence showing that the earliest origins of human culture, religion, and technology derive from the lost world of the Denisovans • Explains how Göbekli Tepe and the Giza pyramids are aligned with the constellation of Cygnus and show evidence of enhanced sound-acoustic technology • Traces the origins of Göbekli Tepe and the Giza pyramids to the Denisovans, a previously unknown human population remembered in myth as a race of giants • Shows how the ancient belief in Cygnus as the origin point for the human soul is as much as 45,000 years old and originally came from southern Siberia Built at the end of the last ice age around 9600 BCE, Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey was designed to align with the constellation of the celestial swan, Cygnus--a fact confirmed by the discovery at the site of a tiny bone plaque carved with the three key stars of Cygnus. Remarkably, the three main pyramids at Giza in Egypt, including the Great Pyramid, align with the same three stars. But where did this ancient veneration of Cygnus come from? Showing that Cygnus was once seen as a portal to the sky-world, Andrew Collins reveals how, at both sites, the attention toward this star group is linked with sound acoustics and the use of musical intervals “discovered” thousands of years later by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras. Collins traces these ideas as well as early advances in human technology and cosmology back to the Altai-Baikal region of Russian Siberia, where the cult of the swan flourished as much as 20,000 years ago. He shows how these concepts, including a complex numeric system based on long-term eclipse cycles, are derived from an extinct human population known as the Denisovans. Not only were they of exceptional size--the ancient giants of myth--but archaeological discoveries show that this previously unrecognized human population achieved an advanced level of culture, including the use of high-speed drilling techniques and the creation of musical instruments. The author explains how the stars of Cygnus coincided with the turning point of the heavens at the moment the Denisovan legacy was handed to the first human societies in southern Siberia 45,000 years ago, catalyzing beliefs in swan ancestry and an understanding of Cygnus as the source of cosmic creation. It also led to powerful ideas involving the Milky Way's Dark Rift, viewed as the Path of Souls and the sky-road shamans travel to reach the sky-world. He explores how their sound technology and ancient cosmologies were carried into the West, flowering first at Göbekli Tepe and then later in Egypt's Nile Valley. Collins shows how the ancient belief in Cygnus as the source of creation can also be found in many other cultures around the world, further confirming the role played by the Denisovan legacy in the genesis of human civilization.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

Today we go in depth about the death of John Allen Chau in 2018, including a complete reading of his own personal diary of the terrifying, disturbing events around North Sentinel Island. Events that he willingly waded into.  Was he a hero or a villain?  Selfless or Narcissistic?  Chances are very high the verdict you render will depend greatly on your own temperament, backgorund, and beliefs. In other words, your opinion of John will depend on which tribe you are a member of.Art by Ian ArmstrongTo support this podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-being-human--5806452/support

Neanderthals got their name from a valley that was, in turn, named after a beloved pastor and hymnwriter named Joachim Neander. Thus, since their first discovery, they have been associated with Christianity, believe it or not. Problem is, Neanderthals have been consistently used as arguments against the very foundation of Christianity: the Bible. Can we incorporate these enigmatic people into any sort of biblical history? If so, how? Dr Rob gives his solution here. Neanderthals are a post-Flood people group, descendants of Adam and Eve, and descendants of Noah. There were fully human, but also highly mutated.

The boys drink and review Chocolate Cherry Stout by Firestone Walker Brewing, then discuss an alternative history book about the evolution of humans.  In this view of human evolution, a different group of humans – the Floyds – took over Beringia and then migrated into America. When Columbus came to the Americas, he didn't find Homo Sapiens. He found the Floyds.  The book starts by introducing us to this alternative modern life, where modern man and this other version of man are living side by side. We learn the history – from Beringia until the conflict with Columbus.  First contact took place in Florida, which is why they're called “Floros,” politely, or “Floyds,” derogatively.  The Floros are very compact and strong, and very useful in close-in fighting. They were captured en masse and taken to Europe to serve as infantry in everybody's armies.  They integrated into society to some extent, but remained second-class citizens.  Once warfare modernized, and close-in fighting was not prized to the same extent, the Floros lost some of their utility in the infantry. They still did manual labor, which they were very good at, but they didn't bring particularly good skills.  Modern man (homo sapiens) tried to integrate them into society.  One flaw in the book is an unrealistic expectation that there was no interbreeding – because the Floyds were not very attractive.  The Floridius Rights Movement advocates for the Floros and tries to help them, but the Floros don't want the help.  The book pokes fun at a couple modern themes.  Liberal woke activists who protest on some people's behalf, but those people don't really want it.  A simpler life is a worse life, and more material stuff makes a better life.  After the end of the book review, P&C discuss some of the issues raised by the book, such as why are we the only version of “man” left on the planet? Why did the Neanderthals and Denisovans die out?  P&C go into an extensive discussion of differences between Neanderthals and modern humans, and why we may have replaced them.

Zoe Kean, ABC science communicator joined Philip Clark on Nightlife with a look at the latest science news.

In the first half, author and book publisher Brad Olsen shared reports on his recent investigations into ancient mysteries and megaliths. He just returned from a trip to Laos to visit the megalithic site called the Plain of Jars. About 135 jars with lids are at the site, buried in the ground, each about two meters tall, and built from 500 BC to 500 AD. The purpose of the jars isn't entirely clear, he indicated, though it's believed they functioned as funerary objects as cremated and skeletal remains were found in some of them. Olsen talked about the secret war conducted in Laos at the time of the Vietnam War and how the Plain of Jars is still pockmarked with steep craters from the US bombing campaign there.The jars are carved out of stone boulders, he added, so it was somewhat mysterious as to how they were brought to their location since they are so heavy. "There's a legend that they were built by giants and used... as cups," he mused. Olsen delved into his investigation of elongated skulls in South America, which he believes are different enough not to be human. They don't have a central suture, and their cranial capacity and eye sockets are 30% bigger than ours, he marveled. He also talked about his trip to Antarctica and various anomalies and paranormal tales associated with that frigid region.------------Author Andrew Collins has been investigating the origins of human civilization for over three decades. In the latter half, he discussed his ongoing work on the megalithic site of Karahan Tepe, whether the ancients were aware of a galactic mind, as well as developments in quantum entanglement. Ancient people had a keen interest in the stars, and in particular, the center of our Milky Way galaxy. They depicted the galaxy as a world-encircling serpent with its head at the center, he noted, adding that in recent years, it's been discovered that there is a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Some have postulated that this black hole is a kind of intelligent being in its own right, like Rupert Sheldrake's idea of a galactic mind, our own localized form of God.The Gnostics, he pointed out, believed in similar concepts, and may have been descendants of the builders of places like Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe in southeastern Turkey. Collins posited that quantum entanglement, with its idea of particles having an instantaneous link regardless of their location, may be behind communication with higher sources of intelligence. Because such entanglement exists outside of linear time, it could explain how such things as telepathy, mind-over-matter, and precognition are able to work, he said. Collins also touched on his co-discovery of a massive cave complex beneath the Giza plateau, now known as "Collins' Caves," and a forerunner race, the Denisovans, who may have been considered the giants of lore.Both guests will be giving presentations at the Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles this weekend, along with George Noory who will be hosting a forum called "Creating our Future." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib welcomes back paleoanthropologist Chris Stringer. Affiliated with the Natural History Museum in London, Stringer is the author of African Exodus. The Origins of Modern Humanity, Lone Survivors: How We Came to Be the Only Humans on Earth and  Homo Britannicus - The Incredible Story of Human Life in Britain. A proponent since the 1970's of the recent African origin of modern humans, he has also for decades been at the center of debates around our species' relationship to Neanderthals. In the 1980's, with the rise to prominence of the molecular model of “mtDNA Eve,” Stringer came to the fore as a paleoanthropological voice lending support to the genetic insights that pointed to our African origins. Trained as an anatomist, Stringer asserted that the fossil evidence was in alignment with the mtDNA phylogenies, a contention that has been broadly confirmed over the last five decades.  But in 2010, Stringer and other proponents of an “out of Africa” “with replacement” model of recent human origins began to modify their views in response to the mounting evidence of archaic admixture, the introgression of Neanderthal and Denisovan genes into the modern human genome. On this episode, Razib queries Stringer on the state of human evolution from the fossil's-eye view in 2024. They discuss “Dragon Man,” and whether this is just a fossil of one of the Denisovan populations. Razib also presss Stringer about the diversity of human species in Southeast Asia, and just how many Denisovan populations or “races” might have existed. They also touch on Homo naledi, and the ensuing controversies around naledi-related publications. Razib seeks Stringer's opinion on different models of African origins for our lineage, from extensive archaic admixture to “African multi-regionalism.” On a more speculative note, they mull over the possibilities for complex societies in the Pleistocene in light of the finds at Göbekli Tepe. With Stinger's over five decades in the discipline, very few rival his qualifications or capability to provide a bird's-eye view of where we are in understanding human evolution in 2024.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Nov 8th Publish Date:  Nov 7th HENSSLER 15 From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Wednesday, November 8th and Happy heavenly Birthday to writer Margret Mitchell. I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Peggy Slappy Properties. Peach Pass is Now Accepted in Six More States Through Agreement with E-ZPass Children's Museum of Atlanta Honors Brenda Reid with Power of Play Award How an extinct human ancestor's gene may affect our mental health Plus, my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingle Markets on snacking for teens. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: PEGGY SLAPPY STORY 1: Peach Pass is Now Accepted in Six More States Through Agreement with E-ZPass Peach Pass users in metro Atlanta can now use it on toll lanes in six more states through an agreement with E-ZPass, expanding the convenience of toll payments. The states included are Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, and Rhode Island, joining Florida and North Carolina, which had pre-existing agreements with Georgia. This interoperability plan aims to make Peach Pass and E-ZPass compatible with each other in several more states by winter 2024. Both Peach Pass and E-ZPass users can enjoy smoother travel in participating states, providing greater convenience and flexibility for toll payments. Georgia also has similar agreements with Florida and North Carolina for different toll payment systems.   STORY 2: Children's Museum of Atlanta Honors Brenda Reid with Power of Play Award The Children's Museum of Atlanta has awarded Brenda Reid the prestigious Power of Play award, recognizing her dedication to fostering opportunities for the next generation through community involvement and service on children's organization boards in Atlanta. Reid is the Community Relations Manager for Publix Super Markets' Atlanta division and an alumna of Clark Atlanta University. The 2024 Imagination Ball, an adults-only charity event aimed at promoting play-based learning for children from all backgrounds, will be held on March 23, 2024. The award celebrates individuals who embody the museum's mission of encouraging children's imagination, exploration, and learning through the transformative power of play.       STORY 3: How an extinct human ancestor's gene may affect our mental health A study reveals that an extinct human ancestor, the Denisovans, might have contributed to certain gene mutations affecting our mental health when they bred with modern humans. The genetic variant linked to zinc regulation, which Denisovans passed on to some of us through interbreeding, makes carriers more susceptible to conditions like anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, and depression. The mutation likely helped ancestral populations of sapiens adapt to cold climates. While the adaptation has a geographical scope encompassing different populations around the world, it is notably less frequent in African populations. Further research, including animal models, may offer insights into this predisposition to mental illnesses.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Either is likely given Trump, Biden liabilities With a year to go until the 2024 elections, the outcome remains uncertain. Narrow majorities in the House and Senate, coupled with a volatile presidential race, mean that anything from a single-party sweep to a split partisan decision is possible. It could be a strong year for the GOP, with opportunities to take the White House and Senate. However, Democrats also have a chance to win the presidency and the House. The presidential race is likely to center on the economy and other key issues, with each party emphasizing issues that benefit their candidates. Regardless, the top of the ticket will set the tone for down-ballot races, where the correlation between presidential and congressional results is high.   STORY 5: Study reveals mental and physical benefits of playing golf A study has found that playing a round of golf or walking six kilometers can significantly improve immediate cognitive function in people over 65. The research involved 25 healthy older golfers who participated in three different exercises: an 18-hole golf round, a 6km Nordic walking session, and a 6km regular walking session. All three exercises improved lower cognitive functions, and Nordic walking and regular walking also enhanced executive functions. The findings highlight the value of age-appropriate aerobic exercise, such as golf and walking, in maintaining and enhancing cognitive function among older adults.   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3:  ESOG - INGLES 5       STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on snacking for teens.   STORY 7: LEAH MCGRATH ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Henssler 60   Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.
