The Paleolithic Hoax

I don’t really have any interesting photos or pithy captions for this episode. It’s unfortunate how far some people will go to elevate their own fame over the common good. History belongs to its people, and to mislead those people intentionally is a terrible crime. It is also tragic how these events led to the untimely death of a legitimate researcher who was likely innocent of the charges laid against him.

Suicide is not something I take lightly. It causes untold misery, sadness, and confusion for the victim’s loved ones, and if you are struggling with thoughts of harming yourself, please seek help. You are not alone.

The Paleolithic and Jōmon Periods

The first episode is now live! IT LIVES!

I got to read a lot of academic articles for this, which was fun. I wish I could go into more detail regarding plant husbandry and Jōmon religion, but a lot of it is still speculation. It’s probably fair to assume a bit of overlap between the Ainu and the Jōmon regarding rituals and cultural practices but, again, there’s still a lot we don’t know for sure about this period.

Sannai-Maruyama Site Official Webpage – Explore the site I mentioned in the podcast from the comfort of your screen! Lots of great photos and information!

Jōmon Archaeological Sites – A fantastic page featuring loads of photos and information of various Jōmon sites throughout Japan!

Hope you enjoyed the episode!
