Did you know that the Neanderthals were not the only other human species that lived? At one time we shared this planet with about 5 other "homo" species and we believe our human ancestry was made up of at least 14 other human species. This week Peter and Russell will take a look at our ancestral family tree and find out what other hominins lived before and while we were around. What did we share with them? What did we learn from them? and most important of all What happened to them and why are we the only one's left?
This week Peter and Russell take a look at the history of the Olympic Games. Going all the way back to ancient Greece where the first games took place on Olympia to honour Zeus and all the other gods. We then take a look at the end of the ancient Olympic Games and explore the revival of the games into what we now refer to as the Modern Olympic Games. Find out who won the first Olympic games, when the Olympic Symbol was introduced and lots of other fun facts surrounding this four-yearly tradition.
