Where did we come from? Why does it matter? Kicking off a new season of God Fodder, hosts Greg and Keith pull from a variety of sources to bring to light the fascinating questions and discoveries of human's origins over the eons. Test your knowledge of ancient humanity from Lucy to the Homo habilis and whether hobbits ever existed--this is a show for the critical-thinker and curious alike. Source material thanks to:
