Ultima Thule (Episode 14) - 100,000 Years of Diaspora (Part 3)

Published on: 5th December, 2023

In the last episode we focused on humanity's efforts to leave Africa over the last 100,000 years. In this episode we continue to see how humans went on to populate every corner of the Earth, particularly the Americas as the first Americans came over in numbers as low as a couple-dozen. These were the first humans to truly take on the Arctic and learned to call it their home... but there was a break in culture and a new younger culture embraced the warming world of a Milankovitch summer. What is known about humanity's trip to America? How early did it begin? And how did the Milankovitch Cycles continue to play a role? We dive in to all of this and more in the last episode of 100,000 Years of Diaspora. (14/29)

About the Podcast

No Character Limit
No Character Limit is a podcast to thoughtfully explore interesting and diverse topics without the constraints of character limits or the need to always be right. In an age where nuance is lost, anger and outrage are monetized, and entertainment supersedes knowledge, No Character Limit embraces the lost art of research-based longform discussion. An escape from specialization, compartmentalization, and quantification, join host Robert Thuerck as he dares give voice to thoughts across a spectrum of interests, holistic perspectives, and qualitative measures - without sacrificing expert and professional guidance. Are we as a species addicted to fire? Did the moon actually stop a war? Who wins when a magician goes up against a fortune teller? What caused the greatest mass extinction of all time? Find out all of this and more while learning something new - not only about the greater world around us - but hopefully about yourself... when you join in and listen to No Character Limit.
