Indiana Jones: Myth, Reality And 21st Century Archaeology

Joining the Indy crew today is writer and anthropologist, Dr. Richard Currier, here to discuss his newest book “Unbound: How Eight Technologies Made Us Human, Transformed Society, and Brought Our World to the Brink” (2015). In his book, Dr. Currier addresses some of the more revolutionary adaptations and technologies that allowed humankind to transcend its animal origins. Dr. Currier’s analysis and conclusions force listeners and readers alike to view our everyday objects and interactions in a new light. Perhaps the confluence of seemingly unrelated and unrecognized daily behaviors and objects is more important to our evolution than we give credit to. Uncoil your bones and unravel your mind as we journey through eight of the most transformative technologies in human history.
