Indiana Jones: Myth, Reality And 21st Century Archaeology

Global warming on your mind this summer? It turns out we're not the first society forced to deal with the effects of climate change. Cool off in front of the fan this evening and join our host Dr. Joe Schuldenrein and special guest Dr. Miriam Belmaker, who studies the adaptations of past human societies to their climate. Using both zooarchaeological and paleontological methods, she tracks climate change through both space and time to answer a number of research questions. What influence did ancient changes in the world's climate have on the evolution of our earliest ancestors? How do ancient methods of dealing with climate change compare with those of our modern society? Discover the answers to these and more during tonight's episode!
