Here's a conundrum that has captivated scientists: when Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, our planet was essentially a ball of molten rock. Any water that might have been present during the planet's formation would surely have boiled away immediately. Yet today, water covers about 70% of Earth's surface. So where did all this water come from? And more intriguingly, when did it arrive? Listener Bill in the USA wants to know, and Presenter Caroline Steel is after answers. Assistant Professor Muhammad Abdul Latif is an early earth physicist at United Arab Emirates University. He explains how his modelling has helped us to understand when water first appeared in our universe. The early earth was not a water-friendly place - a hellscape of molten rock, volcanic eruptions and constant bombardments from comets and asteroids, with high levels of solar radiation. These conditions would have evaporated the water. And according to Professor Richard Greenwood at Open University, our earth's molten iron core would have been a ball of rust if there had been water in the proto-earth mix. So if the water hasn't always been here, where did it come from? At the Natural History Museum in London, Professor Sara Russell has been comparing the isotopic "fingerprint" of Earth's water with water found in the asteroid Bennu, captured and brought back by the recent Osiris Rex NASA mission. It's a good match for earth's water, but could it really be the answer to our question?

Our guest for this week is a follow on to our guest from last week. Dr. Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is an artist based in the UK who has a piece in the “More Than Human” exhibition at the Design Museum that our guest last week Justin McGuirk curated. That exhibition opens July 11, but if you're watching this episode on YouTube or Spotify, you'll get a sneak peek of her piece in this episode. Daisy's art is multidisciplinary and examines our fraught human relationships with nature and technology. In addition to her work in the upcoming Design Museum exhibition, her Pollinator Pathmaker piece, which uses an algorithm to design art in the form of what we think of as gardens but for the benefit of pollinators rather than humans, has been created for the Serpentine at Kensington Gardens and The Natural History Museum in Berlin. Other work of Daisy's has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale of Architecture, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Natural History Museum in London, the Cooper Hewitt in New York and the Science Gallery in Dublin among many other prestigious institutions around the world. She's also received several awards including the Changemaker Award from Dezeen and The Rapoport Award for Women in Art & Technology from The Lumen Prize. In this episode, we talk about the overarching themes of Daisy's work, her obsession with exploring how we think about the idea of better, her Pollinator Pathmaker project and a couple of her other projects including one in which she created a digital version of a severely endangered rhino and resurrected the smell of a lost flower. We also talk a bit about non-human animal consciousness and the potential for creativity and making art, at least from the perspective of how we understand those terms. LinksAlexandra Daisy Ginsberg website Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg Instagram Pollinator Pathmaker tool “More Than Human” Exhibition at The Design Museum

A new species of dinosaur has been unveiled at London's Natural History Museum. The Enigmacursor was a small herbivore that lived around 150 million years ago alongside larger beasts like Stegosaurus and Diplodocus.

This week, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae has been unveiled at London's Natural History Museum. This newly described herbivorous dinosaur has inspired us to take a stomp through the science of ancient animals, mass extinctions and fossils.First up, we hear about a shepherd who recently found a South African dinosaur, which has helped shed light on the period between the Triassic and Jurassic. We then take a look at some new theories that suggest the mass extinctions that wiped out ancient creatures may not have been as massive as we thought. But one extinction definitely is currently underway, according to ecologist Professor Dave Goulson. And that's the mass extinction of insects. Plus, we find out the latest theory of why the Tyrannosaurus rex had such tiny arms, and we meet the rat ancestors that munched on dinosaurs. All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Candice Bailey and Camilla Mota Producer: Margaret Sessa Hawkins, with Alice Lipscombe-Southwell and Minnie Harrop

In this episode, Danny is joined by comedian, actor, author and comedy writer Dave Thompson. Dave has appeared in a number of TV shows, often with Harry Hill in various guises. He's also written for several shows, including Kelsey Grammer Presents The Sketch Show, and for a number of other comics, including Stuart Lee and Omid Djalili. He's appeared in Ben Elton's film Maybe Baby, and is a regular on the stand-up circuit, making headlines after being sacked from his role as the original Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies for being told that his interpretation of the role was "not acceptable." After spending several years working as a Drama Movement Therapist, Dave became a stand-up comic. He shares his interesting journey, including how raising his autistic daughter changed his outlook on life, as well as some funny stories about his celebrity life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Stand-up comedy used to be a good way of opening the door to acting. Now, it's far harder to make money as a stand-up. Some people have spent 5 years only doing unpaid gigs. Some even more. Increasingly, performing abroad is more lucrative. Wearing a furry costume on a children's TV set makes no difference to how funny Dave is as a stand-up comedian, yet it has opened lots of doors. Teletubbies fans everywhere want to be photographed with Dave, especially in Asia and India Heckling comics is a very Anglo-Saxon thing. Most comics are quite different in their day-to-day life. BEST MOMENTS “We´ll get to Tinky Winky in a minute.” “I'm an aristocrat stuck in a peasant's body.” "I was sh**t, for at least the first 10 years of my stand-up comedy career, but I only did 4 unpaid guest spots before I got my first paid set." “Lots of truth in it (Dave's book), but nothing that would get me sued.” “I entertain drunk people who don't care about me as a substitute for love.” EPISODE RESOURCES http://www.davethompson.org.uk The Sex Life of a Comedian - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sex-Life-Comedian-Dave-Thompson/dp/1447695151/ Harry Hill´s Fruit Fancies - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD5MJt6hf8OcseMKXER2Jg6uhxOytRKdA HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students. Having worked with some of the most difficult people in the UK, he is a natural storyteller and entertainer, whilst purveying the most fascinating information that you didn't know you didn't know. A writer and host of pub quizzes across London, he has travelled extensively and speaks several languages. He has been a consultant for exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum and Natural History Museum in London as well as presenting accelerated learning seminars across the UK.

wildlife.Hu: A nap meleg fénye beáramlott az ablakokon, különleges mintákat vetítve a falakra, miközben az emberek lépései és halk beszélgetéseik visszhangoztak a tágas termekben.En: The warm daylight streamed through the windows, casting unique patterns on the walls as the footsteps and soft conversations of people echoed in the spacious halls.Hu: Árpád, a természetfotós, akinek különösen fontos volt a magyar ökoszisztémák megismerése, egy inspiráló projektet keresett.En: Árpád, a nature photographer particularly interested in understanding Hungarian ecosystems, was looking for an inspiring project.Hu: A termek között lassan sétálva a kiállítás egyik részébe botlott, ahol Lilla, lelkes környezettudományi hallgató, mesélt a látogatóknak a kiállításról és bőszen hangoztatta a természetvédelem fontosságát.En: As he slowly strolled through the rooms, he stumbled upon a part of the exhibition where Lilla, a passionate environmental science student, was telling visitors about the exhibition and fervently emphasizing the importance of conservation.Hu: Lilla, aki önkéntesként tevékenykedett a múzeumban, tele volt energiával.En: Lilla, who volunteered at the museum, was full of energy.Hu: Ahogy figyelte a látogatóknak tartott előadását, Árpád nem tudta nem észrevenni az őszinte lelkesedést a lány hangjában.En: Observing her presentation to visitors, Árpád couldn't help but notice the genuine enthusiasm in her voice.Hu: Ahogy egy csoport odébb állt, Árpád megérezte, hogy itt az idő, hogy kérdéseit feltegye Lillának.En: As a group moved on, Árpád felt it was time to ask Lilla his questions.Hu: Átlépett a kis közönség után keletkezett csendben, és megszólította őt.En: He stepped forward in the quiet that followed the small audience and addressed her.Hu: "Üdv, érdeklődtem a magyar vadvilág után egy fotóprojekthez," kezdte Árpád bizonytalanul, miközben próbálta nem elárulni korábbi rossz tapasztalatai miatti zárkózottságát.En: "Hello, I was interested in Hungarian wildlife for a photography project," Árpád began uncertainly, while trying not to reveal his previous bad experiences that had made him reserved.Hu: Lilla szeme felcsillant, mikor meglátta Árpád kameráját.En: Lilla's eyes sparkled when she saw Árpád's camera.Hu: "Ó, ön fotós?En: "Oh, are you a photographer?"Hu: " kérdezte izgatottan.En: she asked excitedly.Hu: "Nagyon örülnék, ha egy tapasztalt személy segítene a projektemben.En: "I would be thrilled if an experienced person would help with my project.Hu: Éppen egy magyar biodiverzitási témán dolgozom.En: I am currently working on a Hungarian biodiversity topic."Hu: "Mindketten érezték, hogy talán most találtak valakit, aki megérti és osztja az ő szenvedélyüket.En: They both felt they might have found someone who understood and shared their passion.Hu: Az érdekes beszélgetés alatt a Dunai tokhalról szóló előadásra sodródtak, ami még inkább közelebb hozta őket.En: During the engaging conversation, they drifted towards a lecture about the Dunai tokhal, which brought them even closer.Hu: Lelkesen beszélgettek a tokok megőrzésének lehetőségeiről és a magyar természet értékes kincseiről.En: They enthusiastically talked about the possibilities of sturgeon conservation and the valuable treasures of Hungarian nature.Hu: Az előadás végén Árpád és Lilla mosollyal az arcukon cseréltek telefonszámot.En: At the end of the lecture, Árpád and Lilla exchanged phone numbers with smiles on their faces.Hu: Árpád felajánlotta, hogy segít a fotózással Lilla projektjéhez, míg Lilla megígérte, hogy bevezeti Árpádot a kutatói körbe, ahol a tudósok új inspirációt nyújthatnak számára.En: Árpád offered to help with photography for Lilla's project, while Lilla promised to introduce Árpád to the research community, where scientists could offer him new inspiration.Hu: Ez a találkozás mindkettőjükben változást hozott.En: This encounter brought a change in both of them.Hu: Árpád ráébredt, hogy a szenvedély megosztása másokkal mekkora erőt adhat.En: Árpád realized how much strength sharing passion with others could give.Hu: Lilla pedig magabiztosabb lett, tudva, hogy lelkesedése kapukat nyithat meg és segíthet a kapcsolatteremtésben.En: Lilla became more confident, knowing that her enthusiasm could open doors and help in making connections.Hu: Ketten együtt hamar megtalálták az útjukat, hogy egy szebb és zöldebb jövőt tervezzenek, ahol a magyar vadvilág megőrzése mindenki számára fontos lesz.En: Together, they quickly found their path to plan a brighter and greener future where the preservation of Hungarian wildlife would be important to everyone.

Our fascination with prehistoric worlds is all to obvious with the release of latest Jurassic World blockbuster Rebirth. We might think we're familiar with all the giant creatures which wandered our planet millions of years ago thanks to series like 'Walking with Dinosaurs', but scientists are still discovering new species. The latest find is a lizard which lived about 76 million years ago in the late Late Cretaceous period which came after the Jurassic. It's called Bolg, named after the Goblin Prince in J R R Tolkien's classic fantasy tale, 'The Hobbit'. In this edition of Weekend One on One, we hear from Hank Woolley, the lead author of the study on the new lizard, and who discovered its bones forgotten in a museum drawer during his research trip to the Natural History Museum of Utah.

KEY TAKEAWAYS A lot of people on the comedy circuit are quite vulnerable. Being a comic is challenging. Often, the pay is poor, so it is hard for comedians to make a steady living and be financially secure in older age. John grew up in a very ethnically mixed part of Hackney, which gave him a lifelong love of different cultures. As a kid, John noticed that a lot of the men in his Irish family died a lot younger than other men, which fuelled his interest in men´s mental health. Most men´s sexual health issues are connected to poor mental health. Society still encourages men to take risks and push themselves beyond healthy limits. Making it hard to live a balanced life. Creating a safe physical space helps men to open up and talk more. Banter can do more damage than you realise. Humour breaks down barriers and helps people to open up and talk. Talking protects your mental health. Aim for contentment in life. BEST MOMENTS “I always wanted to find a way to bridge the gap between comedy, communications and men's health.” “Rowdy. But, you know, rowdy, you can out shout them, out shock them, or just go quiet.” “I managed to talk my way out of it by putting on a silly accent and pretending I was an Orient fan.” “Health is the real leveller, whether you are black, white, Asian, Chinese.” “Life is about learning to let go of unnecessary items.” “We are trying to take haha to aha.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/comedyjohnryan https://happytohealthyou.com HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students.

Have we always been eating each other? Our listener Scott sent us on a quest to discover the origins of predators and prey, and to find out what all this ‘eat or be eaten' stuff is really about. Taking us back to the very dawn of life on earth, Professor Susannah Porter from the University of Santa Barbara lets Alex peer into an extraordinary world of microscopic warfare. It's a dog-eat-dog (or, microbe-dissolve-microbe) world, with single celled organisms doing battle with each other. For billions of years, this was life on earth! Tiny, violent, and completely fascinating. But what about bigger creatures? More complex ones - animals? Speeding forward several billion years, Alex arrives in the Ediacaran Period – a time of unusual tranquility, where strange, plant-like animals lived in relative peace. At the Natural History Museum in Oxford, UK, palaeontologist Dr Frankie Dunn shows him around. So where did real predators come from, then? Alex is joined by Dr Imran Rahman as he ushers in one of the most extraordinary periods in Earth's history – the magnificently named Cambrian Explosion! Here we find real predators, with teeth, claws, and impressive hunting appendages. Through the fossil record, we can see an arms race developing – as predators get more sophisticated, so does their prey. It's ON. Finally, Alex wonders if our own evolution, shaped as it has been by this predator-prey arms race, might have been very different without the threat of being chomped. Professor Lynne Isbell from the University of California, Davis takes Alex on a trip into our primate past, and tackles one of our most fearsome predators: snakes.

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!

Bedbug infestations are not just a modern problem—these pests have been with early human ancestors for 245,000 years, causing problems long before the invention of beds. Lindsay Miles, an entomologist at Virginia Tech, has found that changes in bedbug population size mirrored those of humans, proving they might be our first pest. Miles talks with Host Flora Lichtman about our history with bedbugs and why they're such prolific pests. Plus, the discovery of a new wasp that catches its prey… with butt flaps. Dr. Lars Vilhelmsen, curator at the Natural History Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen tells us all about it.Guests: Dr. Lindsay Miles is an entomologist at Virginia Tech. Dr. Lars Vilhelmsen is a curator at the Natural History Museum of Denmark in CopenhagenTranscript is available on sciencefriday.com.

David Cavazos, better known as Big Sleeps, is an artist whose work is displayed at museums from the Natural History Museum to the Getty. But his journey started during a turbulent youth in Pico-Union, where he honed his craft and created a style known as Indigenous L.A. Lettering. After surviving a harrowing adolescence, he found inspiration through tattooing & muraling, which catapulted him to adulation and respect from Japan to Venezuela to back home in L.A. This is the origin story of Big Sleeps.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by playwright Tom Jacobson whose latest play Tasty Little Rabbit is currently showing at the Moving Arts Theatre in Los Angeles. The play tells the true story of a 1936 Fascist Italian investigation of pornography charges in Taormina, Sicily. This artistic prosecution uncovers a much darker secret of a 1890s love triangle between photographer Wilhelm Von Gloeden, an a 18 year-old Sicilian boy and a mysterious Irish poet. Tom talks about how he first learned of the true story, visiting Sicily as part of his research, the riveting "Kissing Contest" scene at the play's center and why the story is so relevant to today. He also talks about how he's been able to be so productive as a playwright while working a day job as a fundraiser for organizations like the Natural History Museum, LACMA and the Los Angeles Zoo. Other topics include: falling in love with theater as a kid in Oklahoma, using a New York-based alias to get his breakthrough play Cyberqueer produced in Los Angeles, writing plays to upset his mother, being told he's "too old to write for TV" at the age of 33, meeting his husband of 30 years on a blind date and why he loves being a part of the LA theater community.

Welcome to Monsters on the Edge, a show exploring creatures at the edge of our reality in forests, cities, skies, and waters. We examine these creatures and talk to the researchers studying them.Joining us on this week's show:Richard Freeman is a working cryptozoologist, author and explorer. He searches for and writes about unknown animals. The melodramatic may call him a monster hunter. He has hunted for creatures such as the yeti, the Mongolian death worm , the giant anaconda, the almasty, orang-pendek the gul, the naga, the ninki-nanka the Caspian tiger and the Tasmanian wolf. He is the Zoological Director at the Centre for Fortean Zoology. This is the world's only full time mystery animal research organization. It is based in North Devon, England.A former zookeeper Richard has worked with over 400 species from spiders to elephants but lists crocodiles as his favorite.He has lectured at the Natural History Museum in London and the Grant Museum of Zoology well as the Last Tuesday Society at Viktor Wynd's Little Shop of Horrors. Richard is also a regular contributor to the magazine Fortean Times.He has written books about cryptozoology, folklore and monsters including Dragons: More Than a Myth? , Explore Dragons, The Great Yokai Encyclopaedia: An A to Z of Japanese Monsters, and Orang-Pendek: Sumatra's Forgotten Ape. However he has recently branched out into horror and weird fantasy with Green Unpleasant Land: 18 Tales of British Horror Hyakumonagatari: Tales of Japanese Horror Book One as well as several shorts in the BHF Books of Horror. He has recently written an overview of cryptozoology and a chronicle of his own expeditions entitled Adventures in Cryptozoology volumes one and two. He has just written a book of high strangeness fortean cases called The Highest Strangeness, and a two volume work on man-eating animals that the publishers have unfortunately forced him to call Creatures that Eat People.www.cfz.org.ukBooks on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Richard-Freeman/author/B00385MYHG?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=98eaa18e-54c2-4514-8ed7-92525afdf10aClick that play button, and let's unravel the mysteries of the UNTOLD!

Bringing back Southwest peach orchards won't be easy, but researchers are on the lookout for remaining trees—and they need help. And, the newly discovered Lokiceratops is challenging paleontologists' understanding of how horned dinosaurs evolved and existed together. How A Navajo Plant Researcher Is Reviving A Desert PeachWhen you think of states known for their peaches, Utah might not be at the top of your list. But there is a variety—the Southwest peach—that grows in this arid landscape, and Native communities have cultivated this tree since the 1600s. But many of the orchards were intentionally destroyed by colonizers hundreds of years ago, and the remaining trees are now scattered across the region.A local scientist and member of the Navajo Nation is on a mission to track down Southwest peach trees so we can learn more about how these peaches are so well-suited to grow in the desert.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Flora Lichtman spoke with Reagan Wytsalucy, plant scientist and assistant professor at Utah State University Extension in San Juan County, Utah. She researches traditional Native American crops, including the Southwest peach.Meet Lokiceratops, A Giant Dinosaur With Blade-Like HornsThe Intermountain West is a dinosaur nerd's dream because it's such a hotspot for fossils. Some of the most famous dino fossils in the world, like T. rex, triceratops, and stegosaurus can be found in western North America. So, of course, Science Friday couldn't go to Salt Lake City, Utah, without digging into some dinosaur science.At a live event in Salt Lake City in March, Host Ira Flatow spoke with the scientists behind the discovery of Lokiceratops, a large dinosaur with impressive horns that was unveiled in 2024. Dr. Mark Loewen, vertebrate paleontologist at the University of Utah and the Natural History Museum of Utah; and Savhannah Carpenter, paleontologist and school outreach coordinator at the Natural History Museum of Utah, discuss how they figured out Loki was a new dinosaur, the process of describing and naming the fossil, and what it taught them about dino evolution.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Flies are amazing insects that play critical roles in our environment including pollination, waste disposal, pest control, and as a link in the food web. Flies are greatly diverse in colors, shape, size, and where they live. Butterflies and bees probably generate more enthusiasm, but it's time to change that. To talk about flies with us, we are joined by Dr. Erica McAlister, who works at the Natural History Museum in London, where she is the principal curator for Diptera and Siphonaptera, i.e., flies and fleas. Erica takes a particular interest in three groups of flies, fungus gnats, assassin flies, and mosquitoes. The latter means that inevitably she is involved with many projects related to identification of mosquitoes and which ones are associated with spread of malaria and other diseases and viruses, but her experience is much broader, including teaching entomology in Dominica and studying the invertebrates — more specifically, the flies — of that island. Finally, Erica is also the award-winning author of four books, including The Secret Life of Flies and The Inside Out of Flies.---Cover Photo: Whitney Cranshaw - Bugwood CC - Tachinid fly (Trichopoda pennipes) Thank you for listening!

The remains of 36 Indigenous ancestors being held at London's Natural History Museum have been handed back to their communities. While repatriations are happening more frequently, there are calls from Aboriginal leaders for the British government to provide increased assistance so more remains can be brought back to country.

What would you discover inside the stomach of a sea lion? CrowdScience listener Robyn found out first-hand when she volunteered at her local museum in Adelaide, Australia. The team dissecting the specimen removed around 30 rocks from the animal's stomach, and Robyn wants the Crowdscience team to find out how and why they got there. Presenter Anand Jagatia uncovers a whole world of rock-munching creatures, from ostriches to ichthyosaurs. In search of answers we investigate Canadian sea lion research, and rummage through the vaults at the Natural History Museum in Bamberg, Germany.Presented by Anand Jagatia Produced by Emily BirdImage: Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea), Hopkins Island, South Australia Credit: Stephen Frink via Getty Images

The story continues! In part 2 of the Origins of Humankind, we trace the first steps of our ancestors after they left the chimpanzee lineage.To get humanity going, our ancestors had to wander through millions of years of what anthropologist Dean Falk has called the Botanic Age. It's a time shrouded in mist, yet it may hold the key to some of humanity's most defining traits — from language and music to our clumsy toes and our large brains.On this walk through the mysteries of the Botanic Age, our guide is Dean Falk herself. She is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and the world's leading expert on human brain evolution. Together, we try to make sense of topics such as:The common ancestor between humans and chimpanzeesAgainst “Man the Toolmaker”: Tool use in other apesThe walking ape: how bipedalism shaped our ancestorsOrigins of languageOrigins of musicSize matters, but… The early evolution of the human brainAs always, we finish with the guest's reflections on humanity.MORE LINKSMore stuff (including written highlights): ⁠OnHumans.Substack.com/Origins⁠Support the show: ⁠Patreon.com/OnHumans⁠Free lectures on human origins: ⁠CARTA⁠Dean Falk's book: ⁠The Botanic AgeWHAT'S NEXTOrigins of Humankind #3: What Is a Human?The stage has been set.

For hundreds of thousands of years Neanderthals have roamed the lands of what is today Europe and western Asia. But how did they survive, and what caused their decline?Tristan Hughes delves into the fate of the last Neanderthals and continues our Ice Age mini-series with Professor Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum. They explore how Neanderthals thrived across diverse climates and investigate the intriguing story of Neanderthals' eventual decline alongside the arrival of Homosapiens 60,000 years ago. Professor Stringer also shares the fascinating evidence of interbreeding that has left traces of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans and groundbreaking insights from recent archaeological and DNA research, that shed light on why Neanderthals went extinct.Presented by Tristan Hughes.

Towering over 11 feet tall and weighing 6 tonnes, the Woolly Mammoth ruled the Ice Age. But how did these mighty beasts thrive for over 100,000 years—and why did they disappear?In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes kicks off a brand-new Ice Age miniseries with two leading experts. Professor Adrian Lister from the Natural History Museum explores the mammoth's origins, evolution and adaptation to the harsh Ice Age climate. Then, Professor David Meltzer reveals the story of mammoths in North America, their encounters with early humans, and the astonishing discovery that some still roamed the Arctic just 4,000 years ago.Presented by Tristan Hughes.
