The Other Humans: Why We Survived?

For most of human history, we were not alone. Human evolution was shaped by multiple human species living side by side, from Neanderthals in Europe to Denisovans in Asia, before all but one disappeared.Tristan Hughes is joined by Ella Al-Shamahi to explore the story of the early humans who once shared our world. How did these different species evolve? Did they compete or coexist? And what do the latest discoveries reveal about the tangled story of human evolution and the survival of Homo sapiens?MOREHomo Sapiens v Neanderthals Listen on AppleListen on SpotifyHuman Evolution: Dragon ManListen on AppleListen on Spotify The Ancients is now on YouTube!
