Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the research report in a 14-minute episode that is sure to teach technical writers and IT professionals a few things about the evolution of technology that they did not know. An excerpt from the research paper: "Humans have a larger geographical and ecological range than any other terrestrial vertebrate. About 60,000 years ago, humans emerged from Africa and rapidly spread across the globe. By about 10,000 years ago human foragers occupied every terrestrial habitat except Antarctica and a number of remote islands like Hawaii, Iceland, and Madagascar. To accomplish this unparalleled feat of adaptation, humans had to rapidly adapt to a vast range of different environments—hot dry deserts, warm but unproductive forests, and frigid arctic tundra."
