World of Paleoanthropology: A Great Resource!

Seth Chagi, the Founder and Project Director of World of Paleoanthropology, has made it his mission to to engage his fellow humans in the utterly fascinating past we all share.

I discovered World of Paleoanthropology while I was conducting research to help flesh out the backstory of my Ice Age Era book series.  The long tale included several lineages of ancient humans and I wanted the characters to be as accurate as current science allowed.

As it happens, paleoanthropology is a rapidly growing field. The 8+ years during which I wrote my books saw many discoveries, revisions, and total debunkings. Often, it is difficult to find up-to-date information due to the fact that it takes years to write a book and have it published, it can take many months to get a scientific paper published, and television-type documentaries and scientific programs can also be woefully behind the times by the time they reach the public.

World of Paleoanthropology solves this problem by going to the experts and speaking with them, thus we are given the valuable opportunity to hear the most current information from those who are at the forefront of their field.

Here is a sampling of WOPA’s interviews.

Neanderthal Joe interviews E. A. Meigs

Neanderthal Joe very kindly invited me to speak with him on his podcast recently.  I am always delighted to have an opportunity to talk with Neanderthal Joe, and talk about my favorite subjects: history (especially as it pertains to natural history), paleoanthropology, and my books - which delve into both topics! It's a lot to cover in an hour, and afterward, I always think of something I should have added or how I could have made my point a bit more clearly, but I really hope everyone enjoys our chat.  Thanks for listening!
