The Skull of the Ancient Primate with Chris Kirk

The Skull of the Ancient Primate with Chris Kirk

Who is the oldest primate, and is it our great-great-great grandfather? Listener Elena's question takes us into a laboratory chock full of fossils, and brings us back to the impact that killed most of the dinosaurs. Anthropologist Chris Kirk introduces us to our very ancient - and very tiny - ancestors.
