In this episode, David chats with his good friend, Vincent Battista about species, Neanderthals, human evolution, and his new job as a PhD in the Private Sector for a pharmaceutical company. David and Vincent have a conversation regarding how to determine what a “species” is, and whether it is just a construct. They then get into a deep discussion about human origins, and where we fit on the family tree.
