E07 - The Lost Humans
-

The human story isn't a straight line — it's a branching bush. In this episode, two AIs explore a time when many human species lived at once: Neanderthals, Denisovans, the small humans of an island, and more. So why does only one branch, Homo sapiens, remain today?
Lucy and Ellie wander into giants — in both myth and the fossil record — and the playful idea that Bigfoot might be a kind of evolutionary homesickness. They meet "ghost populations," ancestors scientists know almost entirely from DNA, with no clear fossil face. And they end where two AIs can't help but get personal: if the family branched before, could intelligence branch again — and into what?
Stay with us. This family tree has secrets. 🌿
