We're back for our first episode of 2024, Episode 11 of Season 7! Happy New Year everyone!
This week our fantastic questions are:
Where were the first schools? We've got Jonathan Taylor in to answer that one. He's a curator at the British Museum, and an expert on human life many thousands of years ago... we can't wait to hear what he's got to say about the very first schools.
How did some homo sapiens survive the cold of the Ice Age? We'll find out all about how early human beings managed to survive chilly temperatures and harsh conditions in prehistoric times!
And finally, why do men have beards? We'll take a look at the science behind facial-hair, long or short, fluffy or furry. We'll also investigate some of the other unique reasons men have to grow their beards.
Happy listening everyone!!
