CHAT WITH THE ARCHAEOLOGIST!

Join us today, Friday, December 11th, at 2:00PM (MST).

Project Archaeologist, Dr. Chester Liwosz will be discussing:

Ice Age Archaeology

Flash back to about 35,000 years ago. Humanity's cousins the Neanderthals and (probably) Denisovans have gone extinct, but Homo sapiens hasn't yet settled the whole world. The Americas await, and even parts of Europe are still an open frontier. This is the story of how humans managed to settle every major landmass even while the northern hemisphere was cold and arid.

This event will stream live on our YouTube channel. Dr. Liwosz will answer questions posted in the comments section.
