It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence. The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over.

Lemuria. If you are familiar with this place, you probably know it as a lost continent (akin to Atlantis), that was inhabited by higher beings who not live in the hollow Earth under Mt. Shasta in California. You may also believe that extraterrestrials seeded this continent with crystals before it sank to the bottom of the ocean. Some believe that this “lost continent” will resurface in the future, where it will act like a modern Eden, a complete paradise for human enlightenment. This is a million miles from the origin of of Lemuria, which was as a scientific theory to explain why there are lemurs in Madagascar. In this episode, I talk to researcher and archivist Justin McHenry about this conceptual evolution of Lemuria, and how it morphed so quickly. We also talk about other theories on how lemurs ended up on an island outside of Africa, which include a pregnant lemur falling into a raft, and floating all the way to Madagascar.
