My guest for this episode is Nick Literski. Nick is a Jungian scholar, spiritual guide, author, and retired attorney. Dissatisfaction with a career working in law, together with the experience of coming out as part of the LGBTQ+ community, led them to rebuild their life and pursue their interest in the intersection of spirituality and psychology. After three years of training as a shamanic practitioner, Nick's desire to help facilitate the spiritual journey of queer persons led them to earn a master's degree in Spiritual Guidance at Sofia University, where their thesis work focused on how gay men from non-affirming religious backgrounds create their own sustaining, affirming spiritual practices. This work, in turn, inspired Nick to pursue further graduate work in depth psychology and attain a PhD in that subject. Their dissertation work involved a depth psychological analysis of Palaeolithic cave art, through Carl Jung's technique of active imagination, with an eye toward what these images can reveal about the human religious instinct. Nick is an accomplished author, having essays and articles published in multiple academic journals. They also co-authored Method Infinite: Freemasonry and the Mormon Restoration, published in August 2022 by Greg Kofford Books. In addition, Nick served briefly as Assistant Editor of the journal, Anthropology of Consciousness. I begin the interview by talking with Nick about the life events that led up to their decision to change career and pursue their passions for psychology and spiritual development. From there we discuss some of the methods they use to help their clients and this leads into an interesting conversation about how best to understand extraordinary experiences and the importance of personal meaning and subjective reality in trying to do that.

Greg Jenner is joined in the Palaeolithic era by Dr Isobel Wisher and comedian Seán Burke to learn about cave art.Tens of thousands of years ago, human ancestors all over the world began drawing and painting on cave walls, carving figurines, and even decorating their own bodies. Although archaeologists have known about Palaeolithic art since the late 19th century, cutting-edge scientific techniques are only now helping to uncover the secrets of these paintings and the artists who created them.From a warty pig painted on a cave wall in Indonesia, to a comic strip-like depiction of lions chasing bison in France, this episode explores the global phenomenon of cave art, and asks why humans have always felt the need to express their creative side.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

The site of Göbekli Tepe is well known as a settlement of the transitional phase in SW-Asia, in which the greater mobility of the Palaeolithic increasingly gave way to the more permanent settlement of the Neolithic. This talk uses the example of Göbekli Tepe to explore the linkage of buildings with ecology, climate, economy, cultural, political, symbolic systems, and creation of networks between dwellings. The central question is to what extent it is possible to understand how people in the Neolithic constructed their world. Based on this, the talk will challenge the regnant hypothesis that Göbekli Tepe served as a central ritual site and meeting place that acted as a driving force for the spread of Neolithization. This provides an important addition to developing a perspective on the precursor forms of habitation for buildings whose architectural remains we can examine today.

Chris and Courtney sit down with Dr. Thomas Wynn, the Hand Axe Man, AKA: CU Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the University of Colorado. Colorado Springs, where he taught from 1977 until his retirement. Dr. Wynn specializes in the archaeology of the Lower Palaeolithic, led pioneering research in Tanzania, and introduced psychological theory—specifically Piagetian concepts—into Palaeolithic studies, laying the groundwork for evolutionary cognitive archaeology. Dr. Wynn has published over 100 papers and authored key books such as The Rise of Homo Sapiens (2009) and How to Think Like a Neandertal (2012), which he co-authored with Dr. Frederick Coolidge. In 2011, Wynn co-founded the UCCS Center for Cognitive Archaeology, offering online courses on human cognition's evolutionary development. His recent work includes curating First Sculpture, an exhibition on Acheulean handaxes and early aesthetics, which opened at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas in 2018. ------------------------------ Find the book discussed in this episode: Wynn, Thomas, and Frederick L.

In this episode I'm continuing to look at consciousness and cognition and the working memory that sets humans apart from all other animals. Human working memory can be roughly quantified to hold about 7 items at once in a sequence and allow conscious manipulation, consideration, and attention to about 4 of them at a time. These numbers are surprisingly consistent across all humans. The size of working memory in humans is much larger than in our nearest relatives the great apes. The ability to remember sequence information also seems to be unique. Today I'm interviewing a researcher who studies the evolution of the human capacity for cognition. His vocabulary and working memory are both immense. I need to stretch my working memory to the limit just to parse some of his most elegant utterances. For example, in a recent exchange he opined the following gem: “However, as Karl Friston reminded us, the mathematical itinerancy of stochastic genetical and epigenetical mechanisms in ergodic systems can explain the appearances, disappearances, and reappearances of some technological outcomes of Early Pleistocene human behaviours from a far more rational scientific basis than can any self-justifying assertion that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence'.” Professor emeritus Michael Walker is a paleoanthropologist with degrees in Medicine, Physiology, and Prehistoric Archaeology from Oxford University including his doctorate on the prehistoric physical anthropology and archaeology of the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia. He established systematic two important Palaeolithic excavation sites, one with fossil remains of fourteen Neanderthals in deep sediments with dates from 130,000 to 40,000 years ago, and a very much older site dating to between 900,000 and 772,000 years ago where he discovered burning in the cave, as well as abundant stone artefcts among which is the earliest stone hand-axe from Europe. The unique hand-axe reawakened Dr. Walker's interest in neuroscience and, in particular, about how cognition might lead to surprising manual behaviour that was not passed on culturally. This hypothesis, based on the Free Energy Principle, has implications on the evolution of human cognition and calls into question time-honoured interpretations by anthropologists about human cultural transmission.

What might the future of society look like & how can we get there? On this episode, I'm speaking to a best-selling author who has written an extraordinary book about her vision for the future. Unusually, the book is a work of fiction for the show, but the issues it addresses are very relevant to Human Risk. My guest is Manda Scott, who began her career as a veterinary surgeon and is now an award-winning writer and podcaster. Her new book, Any Human Power, has the subtext Dream deeply. Rise up strong. Change is coming and is centred around a protagonist named Lan, a woman on her deathbed who makes a promise to her grandson, Finn. Realising he is struggling with the idea of living in a world without her, she vows to be there for him even after her death. As she passes away, she steps into a shamanic realm known as the void, where she learns to navigate and influence the timelines of the future. Lan's journey is marked by her attempts to keep her promise to Finn, acting from beyond the grave to guide and protect him. The narrative explores the complex interplay between life and death, human connection, and the power of shamanic practices. Lan discovers that she can impact the physical world through the digital realm, using online gaming to connect with Finn and help him in his moments of need. During our discussion; we explore Manda's career, what drives her writing and the topics she explores in Any Human Power.

Professor Lucy Blue speaks with archaeologist Dr Harald Lübke from the Leibniz Centre for Archaeology about a recent discovery in the Baltic Sea off Germany that may be Europe's oldest human-made underwater megastructure. Christened the ‘Blinkerwall', it's a continuous low wall made of hundreds of granite stones that stretches for around a kilometre. Could it have been constructed by hunter-gathers more than 10,000 years ago and if so, what was its purpose? Hear how by bringing together archaeologists, geophysicists and experts in landscape reconstruction the team is piecing together a now submerged landscape that was very different than the one today.

Arthur Brown – enduring psychedelic godfather – is out on tour again 57 years after first performing Fire in a flaming metal crown. He's nearly 82. This is the most old-school podcast we've ever done, talk of seeing Salvador Dali in his audience in a Paris nightclub, jazz bands on the back of trucks, his grandmother's hotel being bombed in WW2, the birth of Flower Power, gigs at the UFO club, Palaeolithic art, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, panicked security personnel with fire blankets and memories of the key components of his incendiary headgear over the years among them cow gum, Army gaiters and a pie dish full of petrol. As you'll discover – and this couldn't be more old-school either – Zoot Money once had to extinguish the flames with two pints of Newcastle Brown. Arthur's keeping the home fires burning on a European tour.

Arthur Brown – enduring psychedelic godfather – is out on tour again 57 years after first performing Fire in a flaming metal crown. He's nearly 82. This is the most old-school podcast we've ever done, talk of seeing Salvador Dali in his audience in a Paris nightclub, jazz bands on the back of trucks, his grandmother's hotel being bombed in WW2, the birth of Flower Power, gigs at the UFO club, Palaeolithic art, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, panicked security personnel with fire blankets and memories of the key components of his incendiary headgear over the years among them cow gum, Army gaiters and a pie dish full of petrol. As you'll discover – and this couldn't be more old-school either – Zoot Money once had to extinguish the flames with two pints of Newcastle Brown. Arthur's keeping the home fires burning on a European tour.

What comes to mind when you think of a neanderthal? Probably a hunched, hairy, grunting version of a man who's shuffling around his cave some 40,000 years ago.How accurate is this reputation? What were their sex lives like? And how much did they go back to the caves of us Homo sapiens? Joining us is to explore the life and sex of neanderthals, is Palaeolithic archaeologist and author of Growing Up In The Ice Age, April Nowell.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy.

Lascaux Cave is an Ice Age wonder. Its walls and ceilings are adorned with stunning depictions of bison, aurochs and deer painted by hunter-gatherers 20,000 years ago using all kinds of pigments from red ochre to violet. They are, quite simply some of the most beautiful examples of Palaeolithic artwork ever discovered.In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Prof. Paul Pettitt to delve into the wonders of Lascaux Cave. Together they explore how supposedly primitive hunter gatherers were capable of drawing such beautiful artwork and reflect on what it means for how we view Palaeolithic hunter gatherer societies today.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Terry L. Wahls. She is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she teaches internal medicine residents, sees patients in a traumatic brain injury clinic, and conducts clinical trials. She is also a patient with a chronic progressive neurological disorder, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. But thanks to the power of The Wahls Protocol, which is based on functional medicine and the Wahls Paleo™ diet, Dr. Wahls restored her health and now pedals her bike five miles to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, Minding My Mitochondria: How I Overcame Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Got Out of My Wheelchair and teaches the public and medical community about the healing power of intensive nutrition. In this episode, Dr. Wahls speaks about the importance of a diverse microbiome for healthy, long-living people. The best way to test your gut diversity is by looking at your poop. Dr. Wahls reveals what you need to look for and how to improve your diversity. Dr. Wahls dives into the hormetic role plants can play in our lifestyle and why variety truly is the spice of life. Tune in as we chat about the Wahls Protocol, the magic of olive oil, and an opportunity for people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

You Need To Have A Diverse Microbiome The microbiome is vast; if you have a healthy microbiome, you have five to nine million genes in that microbiome. As long as you have a diverse microbiome, you can fill in the gaps and have excellent health. Basically, we need diversity to have healthy metabolites. Healthy people have diversity in their guts. [20:00] Look At Your Poop: That's The Best Gut Diversity Test More diversity may not necessarily be a good thing. Unfortunately, we don't understand this field well enough. You can test your microbiome every single day by pooping and looking in the toilet. Are you pooping rocks, logs, sticky logs, snakes, pudding, or tea? Rocks are a problem, and so are sticky logs. Pudding and tea are also problems. [25:25] The Hormetic Role That Plants Can Play In Your Lifestyle There are more lectins in plants than there are in animal products. Remember, plants are filled with compounds that are poisons. However, plants are incredible hormetic stress for our cellular physiology. By eating a large variety of plants, you are giving cells the signals that our ancestral mothers and fathers would have received. Plant variation will be critical for your gut health. [34:05] What Is The Wahls Protocol Diet? Whatever you and your family do together, you will be much more successful. The diet that has the most significant effect on fatigue reduction and quality of life improvement is the Wahls diet. It would help if you ate fewer added sugars, fewer processed foods, and fewer carbs than the Standard Amerian Diet. Eat grass-fed meats, wild fish, organ meats, oysters, mussels, and clams. Also, eat kimchi and sauerkraut regularly to have a lower rate of respiratory viral infections. Plus, it's a great source of vitamin C. [41:05] A Clinical Trial For People With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis If you have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls wants you to enroll in her clinical trial. She is comparing a ketogenic diet, the modified paleo diet, the Wahls diet, and a usual diet. Plus, she will give the usual diet group tips on reducing sugar and eating more non-starchy vegetables. They have MRIs at month zero and month twenty-four. Plus, they will measure walking, hand function, vision function, and working memory. [46:00] The Magic of Olive Oil: Potent Antioxidants and Polyphenols There are many studies showing what olive oil does to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, dementia, anxiety, and depression. Olive oil does remarkable things for the risk of relapse as well. Hydroxytyrosol is a very potent antioxidant. Take your olive oil cold because you deactivate some of those polyphenols when you heat them. Also, put your olive oil in the fridge. If it gels, it's good; if it doesn't gel, it has been cut with seed oils. AND MUCH MORE!

The practice of smoking is one of the world's oldest food preservation methods, but which techniques are catching fire today, while other processes risk being extinguished? We hear from producers bringing diverse barbecue and smoking techniques to new audiences, as well as those keeping traditional processes alive. Leyla Kazim visits Cue Point to hear from Mursal Saiq and Joshua Moroney about their unique ‘British Afghan Fusion BBQ' that brings an inclusive style of smoking to a wider audience while drawing on diverse culinary heritages. Melissa Thompson, writer, cook and author of Motherland, discusses the central role smoke plays in Jamaican cuisine, and why food and history in the Caribbean are so intertwined. Author of the Barbecue Bible and Project Smoke, Steven Raichlen, traces the history of smoking from its Palaeolithic origins to present day, and argues that cooking with fire was one of the greatest technological advances in the history of humankind. Helen Graves, editor of Pit Magazine and author of Live Fire, explains why she has made it her mission to champion the broad range of diversity in open fire cooking, and the reasons she tends not to follow the trend of US-style barbecue. Producer Robbie Armstrong heads to Fèis Ìle, Islay's annual whisky and music festival, to hear about the renaissance of peated whiskies with Ardbeg's visitor centre manager Jackie Thompson. He speaks to Arbroath smokie producer Iain R. Spink about reviving ancient methods on the verge of being snuffed out. Christian Stevenson, better known as DJ BBQ, tracks the popularity of US grilling and smoking in the UK. Leyla and Robbie sit down to taste some smoky drinks, while pondering the future of traditional methods, and how to balance the world's love for peated whiskies with peatland restoration. Leyla discovers that while some processes born out of necessity may be less popular today, it's clear the practice of smoking is showing no signs of dissipating. Presented by Leyla Kazim. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.

Why do people wear shoes? What kind of materials can you make shoes out of? How can we recreate shoes from the past? On this month's episode we are joined by two specialists in ancient footwear to think about all these questions and more…Markus Klek is an independent researcher focussing on indigenous and prehistoric skin processing technologies, as well as related work in bone, antler and ivory tools. He has published three books on leather and leather related technologies, and has run a successful business centring on prehistoric leatherworking, Palaeotechnik, since 1996. Markus has recreated a range of Palaeolithic and contemporary leather-based clothing and shoes.Doug Meyer has explored ancient technologies for more than 30 years after finding inspiration at a primitive technology demonstration at a summer college. Doug has since explored many aspects of early cultures, including flint knapping, archery and blowgun technology, and has considerable experience in brain tanning and leather work. He also has experience creating replicas and in teaching his skills to others. Support the show
The polis of Corinth has remained in the background of events as we have travelled through the narrative of the series so far. Now though, we have reached a point, the years leading to the break out of the Peloponnesian War, where Corinth starts to feature in the ancient sources on a more regular basis. This would be through diplomatic dealings, both within the Peloponnesian league and on larger Greek matters involving Athens.For this reason, we are going to take a short break in the narrative to properly acquaint ourselves with this city state that would become more important in affaires going on within Greece. We will look back to the earliest times where human activity was taking place on the Corinthian isthmus. This will see us look at developments through the Palaeolithic and into the Bronze Age.The Bronze Age collapse would see population levels drop on the Isthmus like with other areas within Greece. However, the region in and around Corinth would recover as the Archaic age drew closer. A series of kings would govern the city before an aristocratic revolution took place which would see a powerful clan known as the Bacchiadae take control. The Bacchiadae would dominate Corinthian politics for the next 100 years. Though, their dominance would come to an end with the rise of a new political development.The figure of the tyrant would first develop on the Greek mainland at the city of Corinth. The first tyrant Cypselus, who overthrow the Bacchiadae, would install the first tyranny with the support of the people of Corinth. There would be mixed feelings of his rule, depending which social class was being asked. The tyranny would continue with his son Periander, who would be included as amongst the seven sages of Greece. However, the tyranny would come to an end in the third generation through the assassination of Periander's nephew. Support the show
The results of a groundbreaking new study were released today [January 5th] by a group of researchers who believe they have conclusively decoded the earliest known form of proto-writing. Dating back to the Palaeolithic era, this combination of abstract markings and ice age art, decorating over 600 locations across Europe, previously remained a mystery to the archaeology community. However, an enigma no more, what can we learn from this incredible new discovery?In today's episode Tristan is joined by one of the team behind this marvel, Professor Paul Pettitt from the University of Durham. Paul talks Tristan through the team's hard work and perseverance of this mammoth task - and helps shine a light on what this study means for our understanding of Ice Age cultures.For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.

Geraint Hole I'm 56 and I am a husband to Louise, my rock and sweetheart. I'm a dad to our 2 grown ups kids, and a grandad (Grampy) to my daughters' 4 beautiful children. I work as an Employment Specialist for a mental health charity supporting people with serious and long term mental health issues to find meaningful paid employment. I have struggled with my weight since I was in my 20's. I've tried all the main diets - Rosemary Connelly (low fat), Slimming World, Weight Watchers, the Cabbage Soup Diet etc. And I'm sure like you, I had some successes for a few weeks or months, but inevitably they / I failed. They weren't sustainable ways of eating and I'd go back to eating my “usual” diet and the weight would creep back on and I would end up heavier/fatter than I was before the diet!!! I hated being overweight. I always felt other people were judging me! I hated going clothes shopping and looking at myself in the mirrors from a 360 degree angle - front and back views, warts and all!!!!! I hated being sweaty all the time, especially in summer! I did have a period of success when I went into the fitness industry as a personal trainer and did a lot of activity and exercise and kept my weight at a reasonable level for me. For various reasons I stopped training and my life became a car wreck of stress and anxiety, and I piled on the pounds again. So, I thought I'd share some of the info and my insights that I've picked up along the way on my journey since October /November 2020 into the low carb / keto world. So, why choose low carb / keto? The appeal to me is that this way of eating is what our ancestors ate like! We are humans because our ancestors ate fatty meat. If we're carried on eating plants like chimps or gorillas we'd still be just another type of ape spending 12hrs a day eating plants, sleeping in trees. The second reason is to help maintain a lower insulin level in your body. As I understand it elevated insulin levels, which are caused by eating foods that spike blood sugar, like the high carb, highly processed diets we're advised to eat, are believed to be the root cause of many modern chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, dementia and even cancer. Restricting your carb intake will help you maintain a lower and more even insulin level. For the first time in my life I feel in control of my food intake. I no longer feel like I am ruled by food or hunger. I no longer have cravings for junk fake foods like sugary drinks, sweet treats, cakes, biscuits or crisps! It has worked for me, and I've lost over 4 1/2 stone in since November 2020. I was obese, unhealthy, I had low energy and had to snooze every afternoon! and felt like I was on my way to some bad health outcomes. The SARS-COV-2 situation focused my mind on improving my metabolic and general health, and losing weight. So, having listened to many hundreds, possibly 1000's, of hours of podcasts and YouTube videos/lectures, I decided to take the step to take responsibility for my health and cut out processed foods, sugar, cereals, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and seed (vegetable) oils from my diet. I started gradually and just cut bread, pasta, potatoes and rice from my diet. For me I knew I had to get rid of the starchy carbs out of the house, and therefore have less temptation to eat these addictive foods! Having my wife adopt the low carb lifestyle at the same time has been a massive help as we're in it together and support this lifestyle change together. Over a period of weeks I gradually moved breakfast later and later in the morning, until in the end my first meal of the day was lunch at noon. I view it now through an ancestral lens. Our ancestors wouldn't have had food available to them 24hrs a day!! They would have had periods of no food available to them and this natural “stress” on our bodies seems to have beneficial consequences according to current research. Did our Palaeolithic ancestors have a bowl of cereal when they woke up or did they just go out hunting and gathering? Having adopted a low carb / keto diet for the past 15 months I have a new zest for life! I never feel bloated. I'm not hungry an hour after eating a meal, and therefore I don't snack between meals. I have increased energy levels and actually want to be active and exercise. I don't snooze in the afternoons any more. The arthritis in my hands and feet have resolved themselves. My brain fog has gone - I have a sharp clarity of mind and I feel much more alert and feel a vitality for life that I have not felt for a very long time! I have not suffered a serious bout of depression since mid 2020, which I believe is in part due to my lifestyle and diet change. I did a charity marathon (27 miles) walk in January 2022, and a did a 50km walk along the Essex Way from Epping to Braintree, in May 2022 - both fully fuelled by with a keto diet - no sugary snacks or gels needed. Just protein and fat, and a handful of berries. I took no sugar laden drinks or gels. I didn't “bonk” / “hit the wall” (run out of energy), because my body was using fat and ketones as energy. My tips: Follow the advice of Zoe Harcombe - “Eat Real Food”. Or like Dr Ben Bikman says - “if it's in a box or a bag or has got a barcode, avoid it!” This is a lifestyle not a short term diet - having the mindset to change your life. One “bad” meal or snack doesn't break the diet and mean you've failed!! Just start again! Join a club or group to get the support of others if you can't do it with a family member or friend Get a keto cookbook and be adventurous! Cook your own food and be in control of what you eat. Always take your own food to work. Be prepared!!! Write a weekly plan for your evening meals - don't leave it to chance. Bin the junk foods - if they're not in your cupboards you won't be tempted. Start being active every day. Whatever you enjoy or can manage. Get good sleep. Keep stress to a minimum. I practice mindfulness and meditation. But whatever works for you, like a walk in nature. Geraint's Top Tips Get your mindset right - what is it you want to achieve? Who is it you want to become. Identify the foods that you know are problematic for you and get rid of them. Practice mindfulness and meditation - start small. Sleep and stress reduction are also important.

You Need To Have A Diverse Microbiome The microbiome is vast; if you have a healthy microbiome, you have five to nine million genes in that microbiome. As long as you have a diverse microbiome, you can fill in the gaps and have excellent health. Basically, we need diversity to have healthy metabolites. Healthy people have diversity in their guts. [20:00] Look At Your Poop: That's The Best Gut Diversity Test More diversity may not necessarily be a good thing. Unfortunately, we don't understand this field well enough. You can test your microbiome every single day by pooping and looking in the toilet. Are you pooping rocks, logs, sticky logs, snakes, pudding, or tea? Rocks are a problem, and so are sticky logs. Pudding and tea are also problems. [25:25] The Hormetic Role That Plants Can Play In Your Lifestyle There are more lectins in plants than there are in animal products. Remember, plants are filled with compounds that are poisons. However, plants are incredible hormetic stress for our cellular physiology. By eating a large variety of plants, you are giving cells the signals that our ancestral mothers and fathers would have received. Plant variation will be critical for your gut health. [34:05] What Is The Wahls Protocol Diet? Whatever you and your family do together, you will be much more successful. The diet that has the most significant effect on fatigue reduction and quality of life improvement is the Wahls diet. It would help if you ate fewer added sugars, fewer processed foods, and fewer carbs than the Standard Amerian Diet. Eat grass-fed meats, wild fish, organ meats, oysters, mussels, and clams. Also, eat kimchi and sauerkraut regularly to have a lower rate of respiratory viral infections. Plus, it's a great source of vitamin C. [41:05] A Clinical Trial For People With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis If you have relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls wants you to enroll in her clinical trial. She is comparing a ketogenic diet, the modified paleo diet, the Wahls diet, and a usual diet. Plus, she will give the usual diet group tips on reducing sugar and eating more non-starchy vegetables. They have MRIs at month zero and month twenty-four. Plus, they will measure walking, hand function, vision function, and working memory. [46:00] The Magic of Olive Oil: Potent Antioxidants and Polyphenols There are many studies showing what olive oil does to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, dementia, anxiety, and depression. Olive oil does remarkable things for the risk of relapse as well. Hydroxytyrosol is a very potent antioxidant. Take your olive oil cold because you deactivate some of those polyphenols when you heat them. Also, put your olive oil in the fridge. If it gels, it's good; if it doesn't gel, it has been cut with seed oils. AND MUCH MORE!

Neanderthals are stereotypically viewed as thoughtless savages - but is this an accurate depiction or was there more to Neanderthal society?Discovered only 160 years ago what can they tell us about the Palaeolithic past? In this episode, Tristan is joined by archaeologist and author Rebecca Wragg Sykes to help dispel some of these myths. Using cutting edge technology and looking at recent discoveries, archaeologists are able to give a clearer picture of what Neanderthal life was actually like. With evidence of seafood in their diet, the advanced use of tools and managing to survive for 300,000 years - there's more to Neanderthal's than meets the eye.For more Ancients content, subscribe to our Ancients newsletter here.

Bernie Taylor is an independent naturalist, thought leader and author whose research explores the mythological connections and biological knowledge among prehistoric, indigenous and ancient peoples. His works in these areas include Biological Time (2004) and Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Hero (2017). Before Orion is premised on Joseph's Campbell's hero's journey monomyth that is at the core of stories worldwide among indigenous peoples, the ancients, and our modern society. Before Orion explores a deeper root for this monomyth by looking at how hunter-gatherers viewed themselves within the natural and spiritual worlds through Palaeolithic cave art from 40,000 years ago. Taylor proposes that select cave paintings are fundamental pieces in the human journey to self-realization, the foundation of written language, and a record of biological knowledge that irrevocably impacted some of the artistic styles, religious practices, and stories that are still with us. Taylor addresses a profound archaeological elephant in the room by opening up an uncharted place in our history, which points to the cultural ancestors of mankind in western North Africa. Before Orion will change the idea of who you think you are.For this episode we are moving away a little from the narrative approach to history that we usually follow. For this episode we will be turning to the realm of myth that we have only really covered in passing throughout the series. Though we will not be running through the usual stories of Greek Mythology, we will be instead looking to the deeper past where Greek civilisation has yet to appear. This will see us looking back some 10's of thousands of years before the rise of Greek culture where stories that we find familiar in Greek mythology were also present. Bernie Taylor will take us back these tens of thousands of years to a cave site on the Iberian Peninsula, or modern-day Spain. In our talk, Bernie took me on a fascinating journey of his research and the ideas he has developed. I found this then turned into a great discussion and I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I did engaging with Bernie. A lot of what we talk about is very visual and so I have provided a number of pictures on the episode page over at the Casting Through Ancient Greece website, while I have also provided Bernie Taylors links where you will be able to find even more resources. Any I hope you enjoy the next couple of hours.Bernie Taylor Twitter @BernieTaylorOr Before Orion Twitter @BeforeOrion Before Orion website Before Orion Kindle Support the show
Rebecca Wragg Sykes uses her experience at the cutting-edge of Palaeolithic research to share our new understanding of Neanderthals, shoving aside clichés of rag-clad brutes in an icy wasteland. She reveals them to be curious, clever connoisseurs of their world, technologically inventive and ecologically adaptable. Above all, they were successful survivors for more than 300,000 years, during times of massive climatic upheaval. Since their discovery 150 years ago, Neanderthals have gone from the losers of the human family tree to A-list hominins. The perception of the Neanderthal has changed dramatically, but despite growing scientific curiosity, popular culture fascination, and a wealth of coverage in the media and Sykes asks are we getting the whole story? Join us when Rebecca Wragg Sykes shares her complex and fascinating research on the reality of 21st century Neanderthals which remains virtually unknown and inaccessible outside the scientific literature, on this installment of Leoanrd Lopate at Large.
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Back to the mediaeval period, to see the earliest printing press or spinning wheel? To the Bronze Age, watching from the sidelines as a blacksmith hammers out a beautiful leaf -shaped blade? How about the early Neolithic, to learn how to knap that perfect stone hand axe? Or even all the way back to the Palaeolithic, to witness the creation of the earliest ever clay object? Well, you're in luck! My name is Matilda Siebrecht and I will be hosting a brand-new monthly series called Tea-break Time Travel. Every episode I will be joined on my tea break by a guest with expert knowledge on a particular archaeological object. Together, we will travel back in time, discussing the object itself as well as the cultures and environments surrounding its creation and use. So plug in your headphones, grab your hot beverage of choice, and settle down for a journey back in time!

Thank you so much for joining us again today, we are talking with author, Bernie Taylor, about his new book before Orion. Bernie Taylor is an independent naturalist and author before Orion finding the face of the hero of 2017 and biological time published in 2004.His research explores the mythological connections and biological knowledge among prehistoric indigenous and ancient peoples. We will be discussing how the hero's journey will be used in popular culture and in films, especially in the movie star wars. Thank you so much for joining us today. Bernie Stephen, thanks for having me on the show.And I believe that the [00:01:00] story of this hero's journey is one that we all traveled. Now Bernie, can you just tell us a little bit about yourself for your background? Sure. I'll kind of tell you how I fell into this. I wrote the previous book biological time, which was about how plants and animals know when to do things.How's a salmon known when the migrant river. The salmon node to come together, spawn how to geese know when to migrate and so on. It was a book about biological clocks. And then I asked myself the question, well, if someone must have known this before. And so I looked at a hunter gatherers. In fact, they have it in their calendars as well.Ancient peoples from the Mediterranean, the biological clocks was how they found their food because they didn't have Costcos the niceties that we have in our modern time. And when I was working on that, There was an image from Lusko, which the cave in France from about 17,000 years ago. And this image is of a mega loss serous.A mega losses is like a huge elk, but just bigger and bigger rack and all that [00:02:00] sort of stuff. And this, this mega loss versus blowing out. So we can tell it by that has a huge rack. It's in the fall, it's running condition and it's blown steam out it's in the morning. So we kind of have a lot about time and place in that.And under that Meg Gloucester's with the blowing out the steam, it's got 13 days. And I, I looked at that concept as it relates to the how the, um, large Angela Institute, deer, elk, how they drop their antlers and how they come together to run and an all the timing, all that sort of stuff. And it fit how hunter gatherers in native Americans targeted the deer.And the elk was exactly the same timing as these people are doing it 17,000 years. Which makes sense because the animals didn't change. Could you tell us a little bit why you wrote this particular book before Orion? I wrote bylaws time and I gave lots of presentations to the tribes, to scientific organizations, you know, classes, college classrooms, and so on.And I put it on the shelf for [00:03:00] 13 years and I said, I'm going to raise my daughter who is now 16 picking off the shelf. 13 years later. I started getting with the dots. And I said to myself, well, if I'm going to find the origins of this concept of biological time, I need to go back further. And I went back 40,000 years ago in the ELCA steel cave, which has the oldest cave art or known to man, or has been at least chronicled that we can actually date.And there's a series of dots that run across this panel. It's called the, the, um, the panel hands. And the one dot was dated to 40,000 years ago, five, six years ago. It was huge news. It's a curved surface, this, this cave wall, which you can't take a very good picture. So the media would just like, shoot a picture of the red dot and then people ask the question.Well, what's the red dot, you know, you know, if it was, uh, you know, running IBEX or a mega lossless, you know, they might kind of find a story. They couldn't find the story in this red dot and it wasn't a very good. So they ran with another image from the SA same cave system on the gallery disc. [00:04:00] And this one's a flat panel.You can see 80 or so dots streaming across. It's absolutely beautiful. And well, I looked at that and I said to myself, well, let's go working on that lots again, just like I didn't enlist. And I also said to myself, this, this is a 10 meter panel, almost 30 feet. It's huge. There's gotta be more of than on this thing than dots red, these red discs and with the red district about the size of your hand, the most common animal in the Palaeolithic was the horse.So maybe there's a horse in there. So I go looking for the horse. I didn't find a horse two, three years later, but before I found the horse, I found lines. I found elephants. I found. I found all these animals that were in either in Europe at the time or in Africa. And that's how it led into this concept of before.A big part of this buck is the hero's journey. What is the hero's journey? Good question. Really good question. And that ties in this whole thing before I said that there was, these [00:05:00] animals are in Europe, there's animals in Africa, and there's a, so then for someone traveled between the two places and I was strictly looking at this one, the.And someone said to me, you know, you're telling the story, the hero's journey. And I knew the co roughly knew the concept of Joseph Campbell through, through the metaphor of the story of star wars. And Joseph Campbell said that theirs is a journey that we all take in our storytelling it's and myths throughout the world.He called it the model myth. And in this journey, someone leaves a place of familiarity. So Dorothy, she leaves the land. She leaves Kansas. And she goes off into her dream world. Then she goes to another place where she finds companions. We have the scarecrow with a 10 man and the cowardly lion and they help her on her journey.And she also picks up magical ambulance and potions and things to help her and as the good witch and the bad witch and they battle each other and ultimately Darthy comes to face herself. She realizes that, you know, there's no place like home. And so by facing that fantasy, she had of having to [00:06:00] leave.Kansas to find the better place over the rainbow. She projected herself back to, um, to Kansas. And it's like, that's like a mini hero's journey. And we, we tell this story throughout mythology and we see it in the big screens. Um, think of Lord of the rings, where Frodo goes on a journey to, to put the ring into the mountain of Mordor.Yes. To return the ring to where it was smelted to set society. And then he goes back to his home to tell his story is very similar to the, the general theme of Darthy. And of course, we find this in star wars. Let's back up just a little bit to get into your book. Before we talk about pop culture. You really focus in on one geographic area, that area of these caves in Southern Spain?Probably not everybody is intimate with the knowledge of Southern Spanish, Northern north Africa [00:07:00] geography. Maybe you can set the table a little. How this area has a really specific geography. Absolutely. Well there's I use two panels or two images in two caves. One is so-called Gorham action, which is at the rocker Gibraltar at the Strait between Southern Spain and Northern Africa.Northern Africa would be at Morocco to one side is the Mediterranean. And the other side is the. The gallery of discs and the Al Casteel cave isn't way north of Spain, near Bilbao. So we're talking up the top side of the Iberian peninsula, Spain, geographically. This is. So a person in Northern Spain travels across Spain, he swims across.We can actually show them in the image. He swims across the Strait of Gibraltar, where you find animal Marine animals, there's dolphins seal, and then he arrives on the other side. Which has draft elephant lions with manes, which were not [00:08:00] in European caviar. So we, and the Barbary Macau, which is an animal and ape, that's indigenous to the Atlas mountains of Morocco.
The most common causes of death have changed dramatically over the centuries; ten thousand years ago, in the Palaeolithic period, you were most likely to die from violence or an accident, while in the Middle Ages, death was most often a result of famine, plague or childbirth. By the 19th century, infectious diseases such as smallpox, typhoid and measles were our biggest killers. So what changed, what's killing us most now, and how might it look in the future? Kathryn speaks to Andrew Doig, a professor of biochemistry at the University of Manchester, whose four decades of research have culminated in his book This Mortal Coil, A History of Death.
