Almas - Deep in the rugged mountains of Central Asia lurks the Almas, a primitive hominid species from Mongolian folklore with terrifying strength, pack-hunting intelligence, and an insatiable hunger for human flesh that has led locals to avoid traveling the ancient mountain passes alone for centuries.

This week we tackle a 1968 epic science fiction film , widely recognised as one of the greatest and most influential ever made. Directed by Stanley Kubrick , it sees a mysterious artifact uncovered on the moon, leading to a spacecraft manned by two humans and one super computer being sent to Jupiter to find its origins. Hominids and psychedelic sequences ensue, it's 2001: A SACE ODYSSEY! We talk all things Cast, Production and Plot, and there's a game called A Space Oddity, where we put Carl's knowledge of space movies to the test!Plus we reveal our top 3 space movies and review some more potential entries to the ⁠Movie The Needle Classics Collection⁠.

The “stoned ape hypothesis,” popularized by ethnobotanist Terence McKenna, suggests that the accidental consumption of psychedelic mushrooms by early hominids may have catalyzed rapid cognitive development, leading to significant advancements in language, abstract thinking, and social structures. While this speculative theory remains outside mainstream scientific consensus, it continues to spark curiosity and debate by linking consciousness expansion to dietary shifts in our evolutionary past.

Egal zu welchem Anlass, in Deutschland wird gerne getrunken. Obwohl der Konsum seit Jahren langsam sinkt, liegen wir im internationalen Vergleich immer noch weit vorn. Schätzungen gehen davon aus, dass jährlich mehr als 40.000 Menschen in Deutschland an den Folgen ihres Alkoholkonsums vorzeitig sterben. Und dennoch gilt Alkoholtrinken immer noch als normal. Warum können - oder wollen - wir nicht auf diese Droge verzichten? Es nur mit dem Rausch, mit der kleinen Flucht aus dem Alltag zu erklären, wäre zu einfach.  Autorin Yasmin Appelhans ist dem Alkoholkonsum wissenschaftlich auf den Grund gegangen und hat dafür auch in der Evolutionsgeschichte gewühlt. Im Gespräch mit Host Lucie Kluth erzählt sie von ihren spannenden Erkenntnissen - unter anderem, warum unser Körper Alkohol relativ gut verarbeiten kann, was die forschungsrelevante "Drunken Monkey Hypothesis" damit zu tun hat und warum gerade Soziale Medien mitverantwortlich dafür sind, dass viele junge Menschen ihren Alkoholkonsum hinterfragen.

New types of snake-bite anti-venoms are designed by AI. Also, how much meat did human ancestors eat? How the Baltic Nord Stream gas pipeline rupture of 2022 was the biggest single release of methane ever caused by humans, and that Pluto met Charon, not with a bang, but more of a kiss.Using a high precision technique for spotting different isotopes of Nitrogen, Tina Lüdecke of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry has concluded that a group of early hominin Australopithecus living in South Africa were predominantly vegetarian, putting the date that human ancestors started eating meat (and thence growing bigger brains) to more recently. The technique, she thinks, can enlighten prehistoric food webs and ecologies from millions of years ago.Last year's Nobel prizes showed the potential new techniques of AI to design synthetic proteins. Timothy P Jenkins and colleagues decided to try designing treatments for snakebite venoms, with remarkable apparent success. It could save many thousands of lives a year.Since the September 2022 explosions at the Nord Stream gas pipeline in the Baltic sea, many different analyses of how much methane was released have provided a variety of estimates. This week, scientists at the UNEP International Methane emissions observatory – including Stephen Harris - published a study estimating it to be a little under half a million tonnes, making it by far the single biggest human caused release of this most dangerous greenhouse gas. Yet, they say, even that is a tiny fraction of what is released overall around the world every year. And Finally, a new analysis of the original formation of the Pluto-Charon binary Dwarf Planetary system suggests they – and possibly many other Kuiper belt pairing – were born of a gentle astronomical dance and a peck on the cheek, rather than the catastrophic collision we associate with the earth-moon's fiery first date. And it may have lasted just a matter of days, according to author Adeene Denton of the University of Arizona.Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Alex Mansfield Production Coordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth(Photo: Gorilla feeding.

“The Genesis story isn't about divine creation; it's about advanced beings experimenting with primitive hominids. It's genetic manipulation disguised as mythology.” - Jordan MaxwellJordan Maxwell Interviewed by TruthSeekah.www.TruthSeekah.comPhenomena and Spiritual Awareness (00:19): The podcast opens with a disclaimer about potential spiritual and psychic phenomena listeners may experience, such as heightened intuition, lucid dreaming, and astral projection.Personal Struggles with Faith and Acceptance (04:30): The host shares a personal story of being ostracized by Christian peers for exploring topics like aliens and the occult. A conversation with Jordan Maxwell encouraged him to continue his spiritual journey despite criticism.The Nature of Truth and Religion (10:19): Maxwell discusses his perspective on Jesus and religion, asserting that the teachings of Jesus have been mistranslated and misunderstood. He contrasts the pursuit of spiritual truth with the corporate nature of organized religion.Critique of Organized Religion (14:13): Maxwell criticizes modern religion as focused on power, money, and control rather than spirituality, claiming people prefer lies that align with their beliefs over uncomfortable truths.Spiritual Experiences and Supernatural Misconceptions (24:28): Maxwell recounts profound spiritual experiences, rejecting the term "supernatural" and suggesting they are part of natural, universal phenomena.Etymology and Ancient Texts (1:10:29): He delves into the linguistic roots of biblical terms, discussing how the Hebrew word "Elohim" implies "many gods" and interpreting Genesis as a narrative involving multiple deities.Aliens and Biblical Connections (1:17:36): Maxwell links ancient myths, including Genesis, to extraterrestrial beings, positing that the creation story may involve genetic experimentation by advanced entities.Gnostic and Hidden Scriptures (1:28:06): The interview touches on Gnostic texts like the Nag Hammadi, suggesting that these offer alternative interpretations of Jesus and early Christian theology often ignored by mainstream Christianity.The Importance of Challenging Beliefs (1:55:35): The host reflects on the value of having beliefs challenged, noting that his faith has been strengthened through periods of doubt and reevaluation.Encouragement and Spiritual Renewal (2:02:57): The interview closes with a prayer for listeners, encouraging them to seek personal encounters with God and spiritual peace in their lives.

Born in 1975, I fell in love with reading and with sailing at a young age. I had two dreams in life: to write a novel and to sail around the world. In 2009, I finally completed my first novel. My seventh published work, WOOL, became an international bestseller and has been translated into nearly 40 languages. My career as a writer has taken me all around the world; I've met amazing readers everywhere I go, and I've seen some extraordinary places. Now I'm embarking on a journey to complete my second dream, that of sailing around the world. This website is a history of both of those dreams. His website is HughHowey.com. ROBERT J.

His twenty-three novels include Frameshift, Factoring Humanity, Calculating God, Wake and the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy: Hominids, Humans, Hybrids. He's often seen on TV, including such programs as Rivera Live with Geraldo Rivera, Canada AM and Saturday Night at the Movies, and he's a frequent science commentator for Discovery Channel Canada, CBC Newsworld and CBC Radio. Sawyer holds an honorary doctorate from Laurentian University and has taught writing at the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, Humber College, the National University of Ireland and the Banff Centre. He edits Robert J. Sawyer Books, the science fiction imprint of Red Deer Press. He was born in Ottawa in 1960, and now lives near Toronto with his wife, poet Carolyn Clink. He has served as a judge since 2005. “The list of past winners and runners-up reads like a Who's Who of the last quarter century of the SF/F field. And the physical anthologies—packed with brilliant stories and thoughtful essays, all wonderfully illustrated by the artist winners—is always a joy to behold: a terrific book, and a terrific launch to the careers of the latest batch of the very best new writers in the field.” —Robert J.

Back in 2012 the world heard that Bigfoot DNA had been isolated and genetically tested under controlled laboratory conditions. Those involved claimed that the testing had proven the existence of Bigfoot (aka, Sasquatch), and that the creature was a hybrid between modern homo sapiens and an unknown primate species.In a short time, the story unraveled and the research was scrutinized by experts revealing a number of flaws. But this was not the only attempt at producing genetic evidence for Bigfoot. There were earlier and subsequent tests. Is there genuine evidence for Bigfoot DNA?

And of course, almost immediately he and our host turn into a couple of hominids jabbering about movies.  And while we figure out the exact science of teleportation with or without side effects, we also address… Paperbacks from Hell, Matt Damon's real identity, the death of movies, I must be immersed in the experience, Alan Arkin, being swallowed up by the subway system, V all the time, Paul Reubens, joining a cult, building full-size Enterprise, Daylight, Tim Burton's Ed trilogy, watching a reaction video vs. watching the actual thing, Night of the Juggler, figuring out what a movie is, listening to CDs, Queen of Blood, blatant-text, assigned movie seating, a rowing team underdog story, you're totally diluting my brand, will John Williams just back off a little bit, taking space to enjoy these commercial products, pretty Brad Pitt, finding people that agree with your thoughts, Edward Scissorhands, having physical media, couples with matching jogging suits, Short Walk to Daylight, the hope of tomorrow and - wait… that's just a model! “That triggered this repressed memory of the movie in my head that I hadn't thought about.”

The story of humans began a long time ago. Three and a half billion years ago protein molecules floated around the ooze called the primordial soup. Then something happened and a molecule made a copy of itself. And then another copy and another. Soon these molecules arranged themselves into something called a cell. Then cells clumped together and multiplied. Organisms were created. Over the next three billion years, the organisms became more complicated and more diverse. 375 million years ago one of those organisms crawled out of the sea. 4 million years ago hominids emerged. Hominids had large brains and advanced cognitive abilities. They could reason, communicate and cooperate. 200,000 years ago, homo sapiens, modern humans appeared. They developed agriculture, organized into civilizations and became masters of the planet. The story of humans began a long time ago. But all stories end. And according to many leaders in business, science and technology: we're in the final chapter. The part of our story where we finally go extinct. And there's nothing we can do to stop it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support

I've been walking in Elnup Wood since 2015 and I started to see weird structures that I have not seen anything like before. I work at night, so really early in the morning I would walk my dogs in the woods. I started to find these structures made from tree branches, some of the branches were quite thick in diameter, they were always broken and had no tool marks and no footprints in the soft mud around them. I saw no evidence of a camp fire or human debris. In fact I did not see anything that looked human made at all. Some of these structures would vanish or appear almost overnight. I also heard a strange call on nine occasions I was out there. Somehow I was shouted at by a disembodied voice and it said the word “YODE”. A simple internet search revealed this word is from an ancient language meaning “go” or “went”. The voice was really deep and gravelly.Check Out Our BBR Podcasts and Social NetworksHelp To Support BBR

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Peter Frankopan about a natural history of climate change on the earth. They discuss how the climate was different on earth for billions of years and the impact the past climate has on earth today. They discuss the evolution of Hominids in the Holocene, formation of early cities, trading, domestication of horses in the Steppe, industrial age and fossil fuels, Rachel Carson and the rise of environmentalists, and many more topics. Peter Frankopan is a Historian and Professor of global history at Oxford University. He is also the Director of the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research and Senior Research Fellow at Worcester College, Oxford. His main areas of research are on the history and politics of the Mediterranean, Central Asia, climate, and natural resources. He has won numerous awards for his books which include, The Silk Roads, The New Silk Roads, and his most recent book, The Earth Transformed.Website: https://www.peterfrankopan.com/Twitter: @peterfrankopan This is a public episode.

Episode: 2516 The Atapuerca dig and a missing link: Homo Antecessor.  Today, the Atapuerca dig.

On today's ID the Future, Casey Luskin rebuts the oft-repeated claim that the human and chimp genomes are 98-99% similar and therefore surely resulted from Darwinian common descent. Luskin cites an article in the journal Science which describes the 98-99% claim as a myth. The original figure was derived from a single protein-to-protein comparison, but once you compare the entire genomes, and use more rigorous methods, the similarity drops several percentage points, and on one account, down into the mid-80s. Additionally, the chimp genomes used in the original comparison studies borrowed the human genome for scaffolding, thus artificially boosting the degree of similarity. What about supposed junk DNA similarities between human and chimp? Why would an intelligent designer put the Read More › Source

The story of how hominids used fire to develop and evolve thru food and protection.

When talking about our ancient anscestors the question often comes up over how we refer to them.  Are they hominins or hominids?  It's a good question and it depends on how it is being used and what "hominid" branch is being discussed.   Over the next few episodes we'll be looking at some of those ancestors, so it's a good idea to address this terminology and what will be used going forward to avoid confusion.  It might also answer some questions!   Evolution Talk is also a book!

Since ancient Hominids first gazed at themselves in ponds, man has been fascinated with their own reflections. From the Black polished obsidian of the Ancient Aztecs to the priceless gold gilded mirrors crafted by French craftsman, to the 99 cent mirrors you can find in todays dollar stores, mirrors have qualities and characteristics that science has struggled to explain. We explore the legends, lore and superstitions behind mirrors in this episode and we even perform a couple mirror rituals to see what happens. Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

Our second episode on the evolution debate considers three more bones of contention: where do different species come from? Are we all commonly descended from a single source, or does God intervene? Then we consider homo sapiens, and whether science supports the Genesis account of humankind having an original Adam and Eve couple. Lastly we look at the Fall, and question if this can be seen as a real event in space and time, or instead has evolutionary biology proven death, predation and suffering were baked into creation long before human beings chose to sin.

One of the world's oldest humanoid fossils, colloquially known as Dinknesh or "Lucy", has intrigued paleontologists for decades. But her name is also a point of pride for Ethiopians. Meanwhile Laila narrates how fascination and racist attitudes around Sarah Baartman resulted in a harrowing, cautionary tale of human exploitation.

What do alcohol, religion and pandemics have in common?  A lot, as it turns out. This episode is a deep dive to the origins of our human love of alcohol, religion and social connection. In short, whenever a drug (like gambling, opium, sex, religion, social media, lies, alcohol, etc.) becomes more potent and less social, humans get ourselves into trouble. The pandemic has accelerated our already-problematic relationship with both religion and alcohol, and the similarities are pretty obvious once you know where to look.For more on ancient cities built to produce and drink alcohol (including Göbekli Tepe), check out The Guardian article, "10,000 Years of Cheers: Why Social Drinking is an Ancient Ritual" or Edward Slingerland's book, Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced and Stumbled our Way to Civilization.

Human beings are distinctly weird. We live for a very long time after we stop reproducing, move completely differently than all of our closest relatives, lack the power of chimpanzees and other primates but completely outdo most other terrestrial mammals in a contest of endurance. If we think about bodies as hypotheses about the stable features of their ancestral environments, what do the features of our unusual physiology say about what humans ARE, where we come from, the details of our origin story as a profoundly successful species? And what can we learn by telescoping that story forward to explain some of the most persistent puzzles and paradoxes about our health, the way we age, our need for physical exercise, and our nearly ubiquitous aversion to habits that are good for us?Welcome to COMPLEXITY, the official podcast of the Santa Fe Institute. I'm your host, Michael Garfield, and every other week we'll bring you with us for far-ranging conversations with our worldwide network of rigorous researchers developing new frameworks to explain the deepest mysteries of the universe.This week, we sprint into the paleoanthropology, biomechanics, and physiology of exercise with Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman, author of several books including Exercised, The Story of the Human Body, and The Evolution of the Human Head. In our rapid-fire discussion we explore how millions of years as hunter-gatherers equipped hominids with a unique package of adaptations for endurance running, why exercise is so good for us but so generally undesirable, and how physical activity in old age helped shape us into the strongly intergenerational social apes we are today.Be sure to check out our extensive show notes with links to all our references at complexity.simplecast.com.

Of all the myths and stories we find shared ubiquitously around the globe one of the most persistent and captivating is that of hairy, wild, human-like creatures living in the wilderness. How are they represented in different cultures? Are they merely myth or is there a physical reality to them? And if so, why the disparaging gap between the bountiful anecdotal evidence and meagre physical? In this talk we discuss the elusive creatures and the surrounding phenomena from a historical, Jungian, mythological, paleo-anthropological, and even modern forensic perspective  as to what may lie behind this cross cultural folklore and unrelenting sightings.SHOW NOTESThe Mythopoetics of Extra-sapiens Hominids: Youtube VideoBYRON JOEL'S WORK IN REGENERATIVE AGRICULTUREwww.oaktreedesigns.com.auBYRON'S MUSIC ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
