Episode notes
Mesolithic Climate And Cultural Shift
- The Mesolithic (~10,000 BC) marks humans consolidating into recognizable Homo sapiens cultures as the ice age ends.
- Fin Taylor and Horatio Gould note rising sedentism and cultural focus as landscapes warm and sea levels change.
Pangaea To Doggerland Changed Migrations
- Pangaea broke apart hundreds of millions of years ago, creating land bridges and later sea barriers like Doggerland.
- The hosts use Doggerland to explain changing geography that shaped human migration and isolation.
Small Tools, Big Gains
- Early Mesolithic communities formed larger hunter-gatherer groups using wood tools, microliths, nets and early fishing.
- The hosts highlight dogs, microliths and small composite tools as key technological advances.
