Me & Dr. Cosimo Posth, an expert on ancient genetics, will be talking about the genetics of Ice Age Europe.

Big thanks to my patrons!

I really like your documentary-style prehistory videos. This is what the History Channel and Discovery Channel used to be. These are very well edited videos.

Thanks for your interview with Dr. Cosimo Posth. He was so clear and very enlightening.

[conorfennell]

This is valuable. Its advanced genetic anthropologic science journalism. Taking the complex and giving it to us lamens

[tableslam]

Man I love it when you have experts on to talk about their specific area of study - fascinating to hear the information straight from the folks who are doing the research on it. I hope you continue to make videos like this

[juanpascallucianobravado]

Totally worth the time. I could listen to him for hours on this topic.

[emilyspencer]

The fact that you published this video when this is a topic I've been researching in my free time..I'm loving this so much

[Neilhuny]

Absolutely fascinating conversation! Thank you Dr Cosimo Posth for the detailed and expert knowledge.

[joelmattsson]

So, the earliest modern humans in Europe contributed comparatively little to modern European DNA, but I would have loved to hear some stats on later paleolithic cultures contributions to modern European DNA, and if any of these groups contributed significantly to any non European populations.

The paleolithic is such a criminally overlooked period of human history, despite being 95%+ of it.

[TheCookofthehouse]

Yes I could go on for hours listening to this conversation of yours. Because it contains such interesting information, I keep coming back to it over and over again.
Thanks.

It continues to amaze me what is found and how long we've actually been around. Great work, thank you.

This was an excellent interview with a knowledgeable guest, very informative and an interesting subject as well. Thanks so much!

[Pipsqwak]

I can't wait for more ancient DNA to be found and compared. It's such an exciting time.

[rycolligan]

I really could listen to Dr. Posth's accent for like 10 hours.
