Toba Super Eruption and Green Arabia with Dr. Michael Petraglia!

We are back! I know it’s been a while since the last episode of “The Story of Us.” life has been crazy, but coming back from the AABA 2024, I am very excited to bring this interview to you! In this episode, we are talking to archaeologist turned anthropologist Dr. Michael Petraglia, an exceptionally well-rounded and busy researcher! Hailing from Griffith University in Brisbane, Dr. Petraglia studies a wide range of ideas when it comes to “what makes us human” using decades of finely honed skills; join us as he discusses his past, his successes, how he does it, and even some exciting things coming in the future! In this episode, we discuss some of the ideas of what it means to be human, how ancient mega volcanoes affected human populations across the world, and “Green Arabia,” which is a fascinating topic that I and many others feel is on the brink of expanding into the world of paleoanthropology! With so much interesting information, do not miss this fantastic episode! If you enjoy how I bring the research and the researchers straight to you, be sure to like and subscribe for more!
