In this episode, we discuss the fundamentals of human evolution stemming from Africa, in particular the East African Rift Valley. We talk about our first ancestors up to six million years ago, ancient hominins, interbreeding with Neanderthals, and the Cognitive Revolution.

We also discuss why our brains expanded and how we know this expansion occurred through fossil records.
