Can you dig it?

Dr Cat and archaeologist Dr Wenjing Yu are digging up the past and brushing off the dust on history. Dr Wenjing has done fieldwork around the world, piecing together the story of our ancestors and their evolution to answer: when and where do we as humans come from? She excavates the fascinating story of the Taung Child skull, the oldest child in the world, and Dr Cat touches on the lessons we’ve learned from the icy archives in Antarctica.

This episode originally aired on 6th May, 2025.
