About this listen

 The goal of this project is to document the history of humanity by documenting all of humanity’s attempts to defeat it’s greatest foe. Itself. This is not going to be a straightforward documentation of kings fighting and destroying each other, though there will be many mentions and examples of that. This will attempt to explain our subjects from the ground up. The common foot soldiers to the leaders at their head. Their strategies, tactics, weapons, and technologies. Their triumphs and tragedies. Their lives and their deaths. What they fought for and why. What motivated them. What drove them.Thomas Preston Floyd 2022 Political Science Politics & Government World

  • The Mesoamerican Archaic

    The Mesoamerican Archaic
    Mar 30 2026

    This week we talk about two regions of what is now Mexico, the Tehuacán and Oaxaca Valleys. I discuss how each of these regions show clear evidence of continued hunter gather economies steadily beginning to embrace early domesticated strains of local cucubrita, beans, fruits, nuts as well as teosinte (zea maize) from the nearby Balsas River basin.

    I also discussed the science article about dating at an important South American site in Chile: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adw9217?utm_campaign=ScienceMagazine&utm_medium=ownedSocial&utm_source=twitter
