For our very first episode, we want to focus on some firsts in human history. There's a lot, so we just chose a couple. Who was the “first” modern human ancestor? What about the first technology - stone tools? And with those human ancestors, what did the beginning of farming look like, and what are the origins of large human settlements? These are the questions Gill and Lulu attempt to answer in this first episode of Pertaining to People.
