About this listen
En la cultura popular, el término “neandertal” es usado como un insulto coloquial para un degenerado o alguien que es percibido como estúpido. Este parece haber sido el caso incluso desde el primer reconocimiento de los neandertales como una especie. El primer descubrimiento fósil de neandertal fue el cráneo de un niño en Bélgica en 1829, pero estaba gravemente dañado. Otro sería descubierto en 1856 en una mina de piedra caliza de la región de Neanderthal, en lo que hoy es Alemania (por lo que fue llamado “Neandertal 1”), y poco más de una década después sería descubierta una calavera con rasgos distintivos diferentes (que indicaban una especie diferente a los neandertales), en el suroeste de Francia. El último espécimen llegaría a ser reconocido como un ejemplo de la especie H. Sapiens, y estos humanos anatómicamente modernos llegaron a Europa hace 45.000-43.000 años, alrededor del tiempo en que se cree que los neandertales comenzaron a extinguirse.
Los neandertales son miembros del género Homo, al igual que el H. sapiens, y comparten aproximadamente el 99.7 por ciento de su ADN con los humanos modernos (Reynolds y Gallagher 2012). Ambas especies incluso vivieron brevemente durante la misma época en Eurasia. Sin embargo, los neandertales evolucionaron separadamente en Europa, lejos del H. sapiens, que evolucionó en África.
Los neandertales existieron en Europa y Asia durante casi 200.000 años y prosperaron en estas regiones, pero se extinguieron hace 40.000 a 30.000 años, en la misma época en que los humanos modernos comenzaron a llegar a Europa. Esto ha provocado mucha especulación sobre la naturaleza de las interacciones entre los neandertales y H. sapiens, especialmente dado que algunos investigadores creen que interactuaron entre sí durante más de 5.000 años antes de que los neandertales comenzaran a extinguirse en diferentes tiempos en toda Europa. Una hipótesis es que el H. sapiens desplazó a los neandertales y se adaptó mejor a las condiciones del entorno, y es obviamente posible, si no probable, que estos dos grupos se hayan convertido en competidores por alimentos y otros recursos, con el H. sapiens siendo más exitoso al final.
También existe la posibilidad, si tales interacciones cercanas estaban teniendo lugar, de que el H. sapiens, relativamente nuevo en Europa, trajera consigo patógenos de África que eran desconocidos para el sistema inmune del neandertal. Es posible que la domesticación del perro por parte del H. sapiens haya contribuido a propagar enfermedades foráneas entre los neandertales.
Los neandertales: la historia de los humanos extintos que fueron contemporáneos del Homo Sapiens en Europa da un vistazo a la evolución de los neandertales y examina las teorías sobre su extinción.

Story
The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
